Hidden structural and chemical order controls lithium transport in cation-disordered oxides for rechargeable batteries

The average crystal structure largely governs the Li diffusion kinetics in well-ordered cathode materials. Here the authors show this rule does not hold true for cation-disordered analogues. Cation short-range order is not only ubiquitous but also controls the Li transport behavior.
