Thermal-healing of lattice defects for high-energy single-crystalline battery cathodes

The lattice strain and defects in layered oxides is critical to the intercalation chemistry and battery performance. Here, the authors demonstrate a thermal-healing of lattice defects in single-crystalline cathodes caused by the thermal-induced release of lattice strain and the structure ordering.
