<div>Lattice oxygen redox reactions (ORR) offers opportunities for developing highcapacity batteries, however, suffers the notoriously high voltage hysteresis and low initial coulombic efficiency, which hinder its practical applications. Particularly, ORR was widely considered inherent to these kinetic issues. In this paper, unambiguous evidence of strong and reversible ORR is found in Na<sub>2/3</sub>Ni<sub>1/3</sub>Mn<sub>2/3</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, which displays negligible voltage hysteresis (0.1 V) and high initial coulombic efficiency with a highly stable electrochemical profile. Our independent and quantitative analysis of all the Ni, Mn and O states consistently interpret the redox mechanism of Na<sub>2/3</sub>Ni<sub>1/3</sub>Mn<sub>2/3</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, which reveals, for the first time, a conventional 3d transition-metal ORR system with facile kinetics and highly stable electrochemical profile that previously found only in cationic redox systems.</div>

The carbon materials prepared by PVDF carbonization at different temperatures have similar BET surface area and pores volume. The content of fluorine in the carbons decreased with the carbonization temperature from 1.46% (atm %) at 600°C to 0.18 %( atm %) at 1000°C. The first cycle specific capacity and the initial coulombic efficiency decreases with the decrease of fluorine content in the samples. The first cycle discharge capacity decreased from 982 mAh/ g at 600°C to 752 mAh/ g at 1000°C and the initial coulombic efficiency decreased from 31.8% at 600°C to 24% at 1000°C. It is believed that fluorine contained in the carbon materials has a positive effect to improve the electrochemical properties as anode materials for Li-ion batteries.
