Microwave synthesis has emerged as a powerful route for preparing inorganic materials, yet the mechanisms governing microwave-driven processes remain poorly understood, particularly for metastable compounds whose formation is highly sensitive to synthesis conditions. Disordered rocksalt oxides (DRX) are high-temperature metastable phases of interest as next-generation Li-ion cathodes. Here, we investigate the microwave reaction pathway of . Combining ex situ phase identification using x-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR with in situ infrared thermography, we show that the reaction proceeds through a reentrant order-disorder-order transformation. Layered Li-Mn-O intermediates disorder above 945 to form the DRX phase, while continued heating drives reordering back to layered structures....
