Synthesis and Structure Stabilization of Disordered Rock Salt Mn/V-Based Oxyfluorides as Cathode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries.

The demand for high-performance lithium-ion batteries and thus efficient cathode materials is steadily increasing. In addition to a high energy density and long lifetime, these should also be cost-effective and environmentally benign. Manganese-based materials have particular potential because manganese is available in sufficient quantities and can be supplied at a comparatively low cost.
