Probing Mechanistic Insights into Highly Efficient Lithium Storage of C Fullerene Enabled via Three-Electron-Redox Chemistry.

Renewable organic cathodes with abundant elements show promise for sustainable rechargeable batteries. Herein, for the first time, utilizing C fullerene as organic cathode for room-temperature lithium-ion battery is reported. The C  cathode shows robust electrochemical performance preferably in ether-based electrolyte.

Towards deriving Ni-rich cathode and oxide-based anode materials from hydroxides by sharing a facile co-precipitation method.

Although intensive studies have been conducted on layered transition metal oxide(TMO)-based cathode materials and metal oxide-based anode materials for Li-ion batteries, their precursors generally follow different or even complex synthesis routes. To share one route for preparing precursors of the cathode and anode materials, herein, we demonstrate a facile co-precipitation method to fabricate Ni-rich hydroxide precursors of Ni0.8Co0.
