Abstract
We report a new class of cation-disordered material that can achieve reasonable Li diffusion by controlling the way of the cation distribution rather than the degree of cation disordering itself. The fully cation-disordered LiFeSO 4 F, activated by changes in the synthesis temperature and the Li/Fe ratio, delivers a substantially improved electrochemical performance. It exhibits a superior rate capability up to 100 C (36-s discharge) with ∼ 60 mAh/g and excellent capacity retention for 2,500 cycles at 5 C charge/20 C discharge rate. These results extend the scope of electrode materials to include cation-disordered materials and provide new opportunities for designing them for high-performance Li-ion batteries.
