Correction to: Nature Energy https://doi.org/10.1038/s41560-017-0084-x, published online 5 February 2018.

In the version of this Perspective originally published, in the sentence “It is worthy of note that the final LiF-free situation characterized by MnO taking up the holes and the (F containing) MnO surface taking up the lithium ions is also a subcase of the job-sharing concept23”., the word ‘holes’ should have been ‘electrons’. This has now been corrected.
