Microstructural Evolution Dynamics in Rapid Joule Heating Densification of High‐Nickel Cathodes (Adv. Mater. 45/2025)
High-Nickel Cathodes via Rapid Joule Heating In their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202508602), Hyun-Wook Lee, Rodney S. Ruoff, Won Kyung Seong, Sunghwan Jin, and co-workers synthesize high-nickel cathodes via rapid Joule heating, achieving robust microstructures that resist cracking and maintain compact morphology after extended cycling. This approach preserves electrochemical performance, extends cycle life, and offers a generalizable method for controlling microstructural evolution in oxide-based electrodes through precise thermal processing.
