Structure–Performance Interplay and Mechanical Degradation Modes in Lithium Cobalt Oxide Cathodes: Implications for Flexible Lithium-Ion Battery Design

Lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) remains the industry-standard cathode for lithium-ion batteries in consumer electronics, but its mechanical reliability under repeated deformation—a critical requirement for flexible and wearable devices—has not been systematically investigated. Here, as-manufactured LCO electrodes are subjec...
