Herein, we reported the composite structure of LiMnO2 and Li2MnO3 as a low-cost and environmentally benign cathode material. This composite with the main phase of LiMnO2 (90%) was synthesized by hydrothermal method at 220°C from LiOH and Mn(CH3COO)2 precursors. The obtained nanosized LiMnO2-LiMnO3 cathode material exhibits a high capacity of 265 mAh g-1 at C/10. The incorporation of Li2MnO3 into the LiMnO2 phase could stabilize the structure, leading to the improved cycle stability of the cathode. The capacity retention of the cathode was 93% after 80 cycles at C/2. Our results facilitate a potential strategy for developing high-performance cathode materials based on the Li-Mn-O system.

LiFePO4-Carbon (LFP/C) composites with high purity and good crystallinity were prepared by an improved environmentally benign and low-cost solvothermal method. Capping agent polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) showed no significant dispersive effect during the synthesis. These capping agents were converted into networking carbons after annealing, which consequently improved the charge and discharge performance. It was able to deliver a high initial discharge specific capacity of 154.1 mAh g−1for sample prepared with PVP and 145.6 mAh g−1for sample prepared with PEG-400 while having great capacity retention. The rate capability and cycling performance of LFP/C samples prepared with PVP or PEG-400 at high current rates were significantly improved compared to the LFP/C sample prepared without a capping agent.

O3-NaFe0.5Co0.5O2 layered cathode material was synthesized by solid state reaction at 900 oC followed by a quenching step in argon atmosphere. The chemical composition and morphology of synthesized material were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical properties were evaluated by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and charge-discharge cycling. The material NaFe0.5Co0.5O2 shows the sloped discharge curves with high flat voltage plateau and excellent cycling stability. The reversible capacity of about 120 mAh/g at rate C/10 and good capacity retention after 100 cycles were obtained.

Well-crystallized Na0.44MnO2 is readily synthesized via a facile NaCl -flux reaction at 850°C for 5 h. The Na0.44MnO2 material exhibits a well-defined nanoribbon structure with dimension of 50–100 nm in thickness and 200–500 nm in width. Electrochemical properties of as-prepared Na0.44MnO2 are thoroughly investigated on assembled nonaqueous Na0.44MnO2 // Na cells using cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the Na0.44MnO2 nanoribbon material can deliver a high capacity of 106 mAh g-1 with stable cycling performance over 40 cycles. In addition, it exhibits a favorable rate capability, delivering a capacity of 90 mAh g-1 at a rate of 1 C. The high capacity retention combined with acceptable rate capability makes the Na0.44MnO2 a promising electrode material for advanced Na -ion batteries.
