In situ XRD resolves the structural evolution of the Na–Cu/Ni/Mn–O system during the Na intercalation/deintercalation processes. The introduction of Cu2+ into the transition metal lattice is an strategy to prevent P2–O2 phase transitions.

AbstractLayered transition-metal oxides have attracted intensive interest for cathode materials of sodium-ion batteries. However, they are hindered by the limited capacity and inferior phase transition due to the gliding of transition-metal layers upon Na+ extraction and insertion in the cathode materials. Here, we report that the large-sized K+ is riveted in the prismatic Na+ sites of P2-Na0.612K0.056MnO2 to enable more thermodynamically favorable Na+ vacancies. The Mn-O bonds are reinforced to reduce phase transition during charge and discharge. 0.901 Na+ per formula are reversibly extracted and inserted, in which only the two-phase transition of P2 ↔ P’2 occurs at low voltages. It exhibits the highest specific capacity of 240.5 mAh g−1 and energy density of 654 Wh kg−1 based on the redox of Mn3+/Mn4+, and a capacity retention of 98.2% after 100 cycles. This investigation will shed lights on the tuneable chemical environments of transition-metal oxides for advanced cathode materials and promote the development of sodium-ion batteries.

Na2.3Cu1.1Mn2O7−δ nanoflakes prepared by an ultrafast pyrosynthesis approach are used as the positive electrode for SIBs. In situ GITT and XRD results support the occurrence of a single-phase reaction in the Na2.3Cu1.1Mn2O7−δ nanoflakes cathode during Na+ (de)intercalation.

P2-type Na[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]TixO2[Formula: see text] have been synthesized as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, and the effect of Ti substitution on the structural evolution and electrochemical properties of Na[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text]Mn[Formula: see text]O2 are investigated in detail. Analysis results indicate that an appropriate substituted amount of Mn with Ti in the MO2 layers effectively stabilize the crystal lattice of these layered electrodes during the Na[Formula: see text] insertion/extraction process, which significantly improves their electrochemical performances between 2.5 and 4.4[Formula: see text]V. The discharge/charge patterns and in situ X-ray diffraction measurements expound the successful suppression of Na[Formula: see text]/vacancy ordering and multiphase transition during the de-sodiation/sodiation process to resist the structure-induced degradation, which provide possible guidelines for exploring high performances sodium-ion batteries.
