"higher energy phase... cycling with lithium... new crystalline arrangements... DRX structure... inserting Li into amorphous Nb2O5 allows materials scientists to access metastable materials. The team also developed a metric to identify other metal oxides that can potentially be synthesized in a similar fashion. The computations also show that the DRX structure contains paths for fast lithium diffusion, resulting in high rate performance"
