Small Polaron–Li-Ion Complex Diffusion in the Cathodes of Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries

ABSTRACT

Small polaron is a term used to describe a quasiparticle formed when a charge is self-trapped in a locally distorted area of compounds. A mall polaron would form when the short-ranged electron–lattice interaction is dominant [1]
