Drawing inspiration from the recent breakthroughs in the Na2BaCo(PO4)2 quantum magnet, renowned for its spin supersolidity phase and its potential for solid-state cooling applications, our study delves into the interplay among lattice, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom within this compound. Using temperature-, field-, and pressure-dependent Raman scattering techniques, we present experimental evidence revealing crystal-electric-field (CEF) excitations, alongside the interplay of CEF-phonon interactions. We performed density functional theory calculations for the phonon frequencies and compared them with the experimentally observed modes. In addition, our experiments elucidated electronic transitions from j1/2 to j3/2 and from j1/2 to j5/2, with energy levels closely aligned with theoretical predictions based on point-charge models. Moreover, the application of a magnetic field and pressure revealed Zeeman splittings characterized by Landé-g factors as well as the CEF-phonon resonances. The anomalous shift in the coupled peak at low temperatures originated from the hybridization of CEF and phonon excitations due to their close energy proximity and shared symmetry. These findings constitute a significant step towards unraveling the fundamental properties of this exotic quantum material for future research in fundamental physics or engineering application.

The extensive commercialization of practical solid-state batteries (SSBs) necessitates the development of high-loading solid-state cathodes with fast charging capability. However, electrochemical kinetics are severely delayed in thick cathodes due to tortuous ion transport pathways and slow solid-solid ion diffusion, which limit the achievable capacity of SSBs at high current densities. In this work, we propose a conductivity gradient cathode with low-tortuosity to enable facile ion transport and counterbalance ion concentration gradient, thereby overcoming the kinetic limitations and achieving fast charging capabilities in thick cathodes. The LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 cathodes deliver a room-temperature (RT) capacities of 147 and 110 mAh g −1 at 5 C and 10 C, respectively, and meanwhile achieve a RT areal capacity of 3.3 mAh cm −2 at 3 C, enabling SSBs simultaneously high energy and power densities. The universality of this strategy is demonstrated in LiFePO 4 cathodes, providing a novel solution for fast charging and large-scale application of high-loading SSBs.
