Research question
Can rapid Joule heating shorten DRX synthesis while preserving the structural features needed for high-rate battery operation?
Key result
Ten-minute annealing at 1050 °C produced a nearly phase-pure, compositionally uniform DRX cathode with reduced short-range order. It delivered 161 mAh g⁻¹ at 1 A g⁻¹, compared with 137 mAh g⁻¹ for the furnace-synthesized material.
Research contribution
Sang-Wook Park and Hojoon Kim carried out the experiments and interpreted the results. Dong-Hwa Seo co-planned and co-supervised the study with Kisuk Kang, connecting synthesis conditions, multiscale structure and electrochemical performance.
