A layered lithium-rich manganese-based oxide cathode, containing $$R\overline{3}m$$ (LiTMO₂, TM = Mn, Ni, Co) and $C2/m$ (Li₂MnO₃) nanodomains, utilizes both transition metals and oxygen redox to yield substantial energy density. However, the inherent heterogeneous nature and distinct nanodomain redox chemistries of layered lithium-rich oxides will inevitably cause pernicious lattice strain and structural displacement, which can hardly be eliminated by conventional doping or coating strategies and result in accelerated performance decay. Herein, we incorporate a strain-inhibiting perovskite phase coherently grown within the layered structure to effectively restrain the displacement and lattice strain during uneven Li-ion extraction. The enhanced mechanochemical stability of the designed cathode benefits the persistent structure and reversible oxygen redox, thereby achieving high initial Coulombic efficiency and stable cycling and voltage profiles. In conclusion, our approach of lattice engineering alleviates the strain and displacement caused by inhomogeneous reactivity between heterogeneous nanodomains and promotes the development of advanced cathode materials with long durability.
