Abstract
We present a new strategy for computer‐aided rational design of quantum supercells of crystal solid‐solution (SS) materials for lithium‐ion batteries. Layered SS materials Li(Ni~x~Co~y~Mn~1−x−y~)O~2~ are used to demonstrate our design strategy. Crystal structures obtained by rational design agree well with those fully optimized by quantum total‐energy calculations and real materials measured from experiments. Compared with conventional first‐principles determination of structures, our approach achieves a significant increase in efficiency without loss of reliability and predictability for searching new structures. We further discuss the necessary steps to develop a generic strategy to rationally design new composite electrode materials.

## Abstract Li‐ion batteries are promising candidates for electrical energy storage in applications ranging from portable electronics to hybrid and electric vehicles. In this context, layered compounds in the Li~1+__δ__~(TM~__x__~Mn~1‐__x__~)~1‐__δ__~O~2~ family (TM = transition metal) have receive
Lithium vanadium oxides were prepared by low heating solid-state method in which LiOH•H 2 O and NH 4 VO 3 were used as starting reactants to synthesize a precursor containing Li and V, and then obtained the resulting products by calcining the precursor separately at 300, 400 and 500 • C for 6 h. Cha
