The use of lithium-rich manganese-based oxides (LRMOs) as the cathode in all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) holds great potential for realizing high energy density over 600 Wh kg. However, their implementation is significantly hindered by the sluggish kinetics and inferior reversibility of anionic redox reactions of oxygen in ASSBs. In this contribution, boron ions (B) doping and 3D LiBO (LBO) ionic networks construction are synchronously introduced into LRMO materials (LBO-LRMO) by mechanochemical and subsequent thermally driven diffusion method.

Li-rich Mn-based cathode materials (LRMO) are promising for enhancing energy density of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Nonetheless, the development of efficient Li/e pathways is hindered by the poor electrical conductivity of LRMO cathodes and their incompatible interfaces with solid electrolytes (SEs). Herein, we propose a strategy of - bulk/interfacial structure design to construct fast and stable Li/e pathways by introducing LiWO, which reduces the energy barrier for Li migration and enhances the stability of the surface oxygen structure.

Li-rich Mn-based (LRMO) cathode materials have attracted widespread attention due to their high specific capacity, energy density, and cost-effectiveness. However, challenges such as poor cycling stability, voltage deca,y and oxygen escape limit their commercial application in liquid Li-ion batteries. Consequently, there is a growing interest in the development of safe and resilient all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), driven by their remarkable safety features and superior energy density.
