This study introduces controlled lanthanum-site cation vacancies while maintaining a fixed In : La molar ratio of 1 : 2 and adjusted the LiCl content to increase the Li concentration, successfully constructing a three-dimensional (3D) lithium-ion diffusion network. This approach effectively overcomes the limitations of the original 1D channels. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimized LiLaInCl sample exhibits an exceptional lithium-ion conductivity of 0.17 mS cm at 30 °C, coupled with a low migration activation energy of 0.484 eV.

Lithium metavanadate (LiVO) is a material of growing interest due to its monoclinic 2/ structure, which supports efficient lithium-ion diffusion through one-dimensional channels. This study presents a detailed structural, electrical, and dielectric characterization of LiVO synthesized a solid-state reaction, employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and impedance/dielectric spectroscopy across a temperature range of 473-673 K and frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 MHz. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed high crystallinity and single-phase purity with lattice parameters = 10.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to abundant resources and cost-effectiveness. However, cathode materials face persistent challenges in structural stability, ion kinetics, and cycle life. This review highlights the transformative potential of high-entropy (HE) strategies that leveraging multi-principal element synergies to address these limitations entropy-driven mechanisms.

Nanostructuring, which shortens lithium-ion diffusion lengths, can help facilitate pseudocapacitive behavior in some battery materials. Here, nanostructured LiNiCoAlO (NCA), with porosity and decreased crystallite size compared to commercial bulk NCA, was synthesized using a colloidal polymer template. Small particles (∼150 nm) were obtained using rapid thermal annealing (RTA), while medium particles (∼300 nm) were obtained with conventional heating.

High-nickel layered oxide LiNiCoMnO (NCM, ≥ 0.8) materials are considered optimal cathodes for lithium-ion power batteries owing to their high energy density, commendable cycling performance, and cost-effectiveness. However, structural collapse and interface instability during cycling result in diminished cycling stability, significantly hindering their commercial viability.
