Summarizing, applying pressure also appears to be beneficial for intercalation-based electrode materials. Here, good cycling stability can be reached also without pressure, at the cost of larger amounts of cycles to reach high coulombic efficiency. In contrast to conversion-based systems the beneficial effects mainly originate from the reduction of the overpotential for the charge transfer processes, which limits the carbon fluorination by allowing the fluorination reaction close to ideal intrinsic potential of the compound. The carbon fluorination is limited since most of it would happen at potentials higher than the potential of La2Ni0.75Co0.25O4.08/La2Ni0.75Co0.25O4.08Fy. Therefore, application of pressure on a cell with this active material enabled operation of 420 cycles over the time of one year, with only very minute degradation of the battery performance.
