A hybrid cathode concept that targets combining the specific advantages of Li‐ion batteries and dual‐ion batteries is proposed. LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO), (de)inserting Li+, and graphite, capable to (de)intercalate PF6− present in the electrolyte, are combined in one cathode, aiming for synergy effects due to the presence of two electrochemically active species to overcome rate limitations caused by electrolyte depletion. Hybrid cathodes of different compositions and designs are prepared and investigated regarding their properties and the storage mechanism using electrochemical analyses combined with operando XRD and extensive materials characterization, including scanning electron microscopy and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. Finally, hybrid cathodes with higher areal capacity are prepared and investigated regarding rate performance. Model‐based analysis of the results reveals design criteria and material properties required to achieve synergistic effects between the components in hybrid cathodes. These insights lay the foundation for a new type of battery with advantageous properties in terms of cost, environmental friendliness, and electrochemical performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
