For example, the sodium rich positive electrode with a varied composition from Na [Ni0.75Co0.02Mn0.23]O2 at the core to Na [Ni0.58Co0.06Mn0.36]O2 at the surface is a pertinent example.169 The presence of an inner core was reported to enhance the attainable capacity while the outer shell improved the materials capacity retention.
The development of high-capacity and high-voltage electrode materials can boost the performance of sodium-based batteries. Here, the authors report the synthesis of a polyanion positive electrode active material that enables high-capacity and high-voltage sodium battery performance.
5. Summary and outlook Layered oxides with the chemical formula NaxMO2 are a promising class of positive electrode material for application in rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. However, their performance is often limited by structural instability at the charged state, as a result of the host lattice being sodium deficient.
When used as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries, the charging and discharging process from Na 3 V 2 (PO 4) 3 to Na 2 V 2 (PO 4) 3 to NaV 2 (PO 4) 3 belongs to the two-phase reaction. The valence changes of V 3+ ↔ V 4+ and V 2+ ↔ V 3+ correspond to charging and discharging voltage plateaus around 3.4 and 1.6 V, respectively.
In general, the higher valence redox pairs participate in the reaction and combine with suitable (XO 4) − anionic groups to form a stable structure, which can improve the capacity and cycling performance of the sodium-ion batteries.
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received great attention due to the low cost and abundance of sodium resources, and their chemical/electrochemical properties are similar to those of established lithium-ion batteries. In the past few years, we have witnessed the resuscitation and rapid development of various advanced electrode materials.
