a TEC figure, measured by thermal dilatometer and DFT calculation results for both BCC and s-BCC-Y. b PDOS of Co and O elements for BCC and s-BCC-Y, and influence of Y-doping on Co-O bonds. c XPS for Co element of two cathode materials. d Numerical simulation of thermal stress at cathode-electrolyte interface, 600 °C. Source data for (a–c) were provided as a Source Data file.
