Abstract: A positive electrode for a battery that cycles lithium ions includes an electroactive material and an electrochemically inactive oxygen storage material (OSM). The electroactive material comprises a lithium transition metal oxide (LiTMO) formulated to undergo the reversible intercalation of lithium ions. The OSM is formulated to store oxygen released from the LiTMO.
