Architecture‐Interface Co‐Design of g‐C3N4 Driven Dry Thick Cathodes Enabling Fast Li‐Ion Transport

Exploration, EarlyView.
To break the energy–power trade‐off in dry‐processed thick cathodes, we use g‐C3N4 as a multifunctional additive. In content‐optimized single‐layer electrodes (∼21.5 mg cm−2), transient Li–N coordination lowers Li+ desolvation energy and improves wetting; together, these effects raise 3C capacity by 165.9% and power density by 2.85×.
