A team at the Shenyang National Research Center for Materials Science, Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a cathode-design approach based on trace-element physico-chemical rules, shifting exploration from empirical trial-and-error toward targeted design. Results published Oct. 1 in Nature Synthesis show multitrace-element co-doping (each element at ~1%) simultaneously improves lithium-ion transport and structural stability. Electrochemical tests: nearly 80% state-of-charge after a 3‑minute ultra-fast charge; 82.4% capacity retention after 350 cycles under 6‑minute fast charge/discharge conditions. A 5.74Ah cell using the material delivered 278.6 Wh/kg at −20°C, indicating strong low-temperature performance and offering a new materials option for cold-region EVs and energy storage.
