 red materials\, like LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2\, are widely used as positive ele
 ctrode materials in Li-ion batteries for electric vehicle applications. Ne
 vertheless\, there remains an ever-growing demand for technological advanc
 ements in this field. In this presentation\, recent research progress from
  my group is introduced: 1) A defectengineered Ni-based layered material\,
  Li0.975Ni1.025O2\, as a high-performance\, Co-free positive electrode mat
 erial. (Energy Storage Materials 2024\, 66\, 103200)\; 2) High-energy\, Co
 -/Ni-free Mn-based positive electrode materials\, which are targeted for c
 osteffective electric vehicle applications. (ACS Energy Lett. 2023\, 8\, 2
 753\; Adv. Energy Mater. 2024\, 14\, 2304074\; ACS Cent. Sci. 2024\, 10\, 
 1718)\; 3) A vanadium-based electrode material\, Li8/7Ti2/7V4/7O2\, with a
  dimensionally invariable character\, developed for practical all solid-st
 ate battery applications under low stack pressure. (Nat. Mater. 2023\, 22\
 , 225)\; 4) The development of Na insertion materials composed of Earth-ab
 undant elements for Na-ion batteries as a cost-effective and complementary
  system to Li-ion\nbatteries. (Energy Mater. Adv. 2021\, 2021\, 9857563\; 
 Chem. Commun. 2025\, 61\, 338\; Adv. Funct. Mater.\, DOI: 10.1002/adfm.202
 417830). Based on these results\, our material design strategies and the f
 uture development of Li/Na insertion materials for advanced and practical 
 battery applications are discussed.\n\n\n\nBiography: Biography: Naoaki Ya
