Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a disordered rocksalt-cathode active material of Formula 1: Li0.4+xM1yM2zO2?kFk??(1) Wherein, 0<x?1.6, 0?z?1, 0?k?0.660<y?1 and (x+y+z)?1.6, and wherein M1 is a redox center selected from Mn, Ni, V, Co, Fe, Ir, Cr, Ru, Mo, and combinations thereof, and M2 is a d0 transitional metal selected from Ti, Zr, V, Nb, Sn, Mo and combinations thereof. The value of y is determined for a species of M1 based on a selection of the other parameters in order to maximize the electrical conductivity. Mathematical simulations that leverage the polaron energy barrier are used to determine the percolation probability and the accessibility of M1 in the percolation network. This allows to select for values of y to obtain a proportion of accessible M1 of at least 90% to improve electrical conductivity and manufacture the active material accordingly.

Abstract: Chimeric antigen receptor-transduced T cells (CAR-T cells) show a remarkable efficacy for some hematological malignancies. However, CAR targets are restricted to a few antigens primarily due to on-target off-tumor toxicities of CAR-T cells. Although several strategies were proposed to avoid on-target off-tumor toxicities, most of them use complicated designs including dual gene expression for specificity. In this study, we show that switchable CAR immune cells (e.g., CAR-T cells) with a tumor-targeting adaptor can mitigate on-target off-tumor toxicity against the tumor antigen that cannot be targeted with conventional CAR immune cells due to this toxicity, such as CD40 and CS1. Therefore, a switchable CAR system is a valuable tool to control CAR-T cell toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy, which enables CAR anti-tumor target expansion.
