Mitigating carbothermal reduction in disordered rock-salt cathodes via direct electrode-slurry carbon mixing

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Mechanical milling for conductive carbon incorporation into disordered rock-salt (DRX) Li-ion cathodes triggers carbothermal reduction of the DRX phase. Slurry mixing with acid-treated CNTs avoids this damage,improving electrochemical performance.
