    摘要: The invention provides a cathode active material having a discrete change in concentrations of a first base region and a second pulse region. Also provided is a method for preparing a cathode active material, the method having the steps: supplying chelating agent, aqueous basic solution and a first aqueous metal salt solution to a reactor to create a base region; supplying a second aqueous metal-salt solution to a reactor to form a pulse region, wherein the second aqueous metal-salt solution is intermittently or continuously added during or after the creation of the base region; thermally treating the base region and the pulse region to create active metal precursors; mixing the precursors with lithium salt to produce a mixture; and thermally treating the mixture.

    摘要: A method for designing new materials for superlubricity comprises developing, on a computational system, a computational supercell comprising x unit cells of a base material, each unit cell comprising y atoms of the base material. The computational system replaces randomly chosen z atoms of the base material with an impurity atom of an impurity material to form a candidate material. The computational system determines volumetric strain of the candidate material. In response to the volumetric strain exceeding a predetermined threshold, the computational system determines that the candidate material has superlubricity. The computational system displays the candidate material to a user if the candidate material has superlubricity.
