Lithium-rich disordered rocksalts such as Li 1.3 Nb 0.3 Mn 0.4 O 2 and Li 2 MnO 2 F are being investigated as high energy density cathodes for next generation Li-ion batteries. They can support the (de) lithiation of lithium ions over large compositional ranges while preserving the same overall structure. Here, we present a new Ni-rich oxyfluoride cathode, Li 2 NiO 2 F, with a disordered rocksalt structure. Li 2 NiO 2 F and can deliver a discharge capacity of 200 mAh g− 1 at an average voltage of 3.2 V.
