Suppressing phase transitions is crucial for the layered lithium/sodium transition metal oxide cathodes in batteries. Here, the authors report a water-mediated strategy to mitigate the phase transitions and boost electrochemical performances of manganese-based layered cathodes for cost-effective Na-ion batteries.
