Abstract
Recent work in Nature Communications by Xu et al. reveals that synthesis-induced crystallographic defects are the real culprit for performance degradation in sodium-ion batteries rather than the conventional belief in cyclic-induced structural deformations. The catastrophic performance degradation is tied to structural earthquakes arising from the spontaneous relaxation of native lattice strain possessed during synthesis.
