Excited to share our latest work (also the final chapter of my PhD thesis @UoBChemistry) published in @angew_chem now.

"Spinel-Layered Heterostructure Enables Reversible Oxygen Redox in Lithium Manganese Oxide"

How to stabilize oxygen redox in Li-ion batteries? Online now @angew_chem We report a lithium-rich and cobalt free cathode with a metastable R-3m structure (O6-type), which exhibits reversible oxygen redox and superb cycling stablity. @UoBChemistry https://t.co/h0TJnBxNnT

No proposal or manuscript is ever perfect, but to be effective, it does eventually need to be finished.

Nothing we submit will ever be as good as it *could* be and just recognizing that can be an important step forward.

Perfection is not the goal. Finished is the goal.

@Joe_Barker1 @UoBChemistry Thanks, Joe!

[Yanfang Wang @BurningYaphet]

Officially graduated from @UoBChemistry and deeply honored to be the first PhD in Allan group.

[Yanfang Wang @BurningYaphet]

Great honor to hear the excellent talk by Prof @KangXu_Echem at @SUSTechSZ. One of the major takeaways for me is that although solid state batteries are popular nowadays, liquid electrolyte will dominate in the following years if not forever.

[The Journal of Physical Chemistry @JPhysChem]

How to suppress structural degradation of battery materials? @BurningYaphet et al. demonstrate that fluorine doping is effective in mitigating strain accumulation in an archetypal lithium rich cathode material Li2RuO3. @SUSTechSZ @UoBChemistry

Collecting neutron PDF at CSNS again after 4 years. Great to see more beamlines available for battery users.

[Yanfang Wang @BurningYaphet]

Excited to share our recent work out in @JPhysChem letters demonstrating how F-dopants in a Li-rich cathode can suppress the structural degradation. @UoBChemistry @SUSTechSZ

First and really nice RIXS experience at I21 @DiamondLightSou with @Gardner_Dom4 and @WilgnerS. Appreciated for the great support from Dr Sahil Tippireddy.

ET7 has been my dream car for a while. Need to get one some day😁

[Marcel Münch @_mm85]

$NIO CEO Li Bin just livestreamed a 1000km ride in an ET7 with Hybrid Solid State Battery (150 kWh).

He still got 7% of charge left before he needs to charge or swap.

916 km have been driven on NIO Pilot.

Congrats to this successful launch and demonstration of tech leadership!

@ChemRhunter @UoBChemistry @ara_battery @prslaterchem @josh_makepeace @SUSTechSZ Thanks, Rob!

[Yanfang Wang @BurningYaphet]

Thrilled to say that I have just passed my PhD viva @UoBChemistry! Thanks to the great examiners @ara_battery and @prslaterchem for instructive discussions! Thanks to my supervisors Dr Phoebe Allan, @josh_makepeace and also advisors @SUSTechSZ during this journey!

[Yanfang Wang @BurningYaphet]

@Mengjun_Gong @UoBChemistry @ara_battery @prslaterchem @josh_makepeace @SUSTechSZ Thank you!😁
