Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries are now successfully developed with higher energy densities than classical aqueous-based battery technologies and are used as power sources for electric vehicles and other electric storage applications. Sodium-ion batteries are another emerging battery technology, but their energy density is not high compared to that of their Li counterparts. Anionic redox reactions have attracted attention due to their potential to enhance the reversible capacity and operating voltage of positive electrode materials in Na/Li batteries. To understand the influence of Al substitution on the activation mechanism of anionic redox reactions in Na-/Li-containing Mn-based layered oxides, the P2-type Al-substituted Na2/3Al0.1Mn0.9O2 is designed to explore the difference in the anionic redox behavior. LiyAl0.1Mn0.9O2 is also prepared by electrochemical ion exchange, and the anionic redox behavior was compared for both samples. The Al-substituted Na2/3Al0.1Mn0.9O2 provides better cycling performance with partial activation of anionic redox, which is not observed for P′2-type Na2/3MnO2. Good reversibility for Na2/3Al0.1Mn0.9O2 and LiyAl0.1Mn0.9O2 with anionic redox is achieved, and this improvement originates from the nonexcessive use of anionic redox in electrode materials. This finding opens the possibility to develop high-energy sodium/lithium insertion materials with reversible anionic redox.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
