Mitigating Jahn–Teller effects by fast electrode kinetics inducing charge redistribution

Manganese hexacyanomanganates have attracted significant attention as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries owing to the high theoretical capacity and low cost of Mn resources. Because of the strong Jahn–Teller effect, causing unstable local phase transition and distortion, the redox...
