Correction to: Nature Reviews Chemistry https://doi.org/10.1038/s41570-025-00795-3, published online 29 January 2026.

In the originally published article, in the Cationic potential section, the sentences “However, it should be noted that exceptions exist. For instance, low-Na Na0.67Mn0.4Ni0.3Fe0.15Li0.15O2 materials feature an O3 structure, rather than a P2 structure57. Other structures, not P2 or O3, such as P3 Na0.9Ni0.5Mn0.5O258 and mixing structures like P2/O3/O1 NaxNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O259 are both out of the scope of this method” should have read: “However, it should be noted that in practical scenarios, there are impurities or mixing structures concurrently formed in SLOs due to the complex growth kinetics57–59, which results in the uncertainty of composition and difficulty of predicting”. The text has been corrected in the HTML and PDF version of the article.
