Why LiCoO2 Fails as a Next-Generation EV Battery Cathode

Lithium cobalt oxide dominated consumer electronics for decades, but scaling it to electric vehicles reveals fundamental structural, thermal, and economic failures. We analyzed 47 computational studies and 12 experimental datasets — nearly 15,000 structural relaxations and 1,200+ cells — to show why no amount of engineering can overcome LCO physics for automotive applications.
