Title: On the P2-Na_xCo_1–y (Mn_2/3Ni_1/3)yO₂ Cathode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries: Synthesis, Electrochemical Performance, and Redox Processes Occurring during the Electrochemical Cycling

Abstract

P2-type NaMO₂ sodiated layered oxides with mixed transition metals are receiving considerable attention for use as cathodes in sodium-ion batteries. A study on solid solution (1 – y)P2-Na_xCoO₂–(y)P2-Na_xMn_2/3Ni_1/3O₂ (y = 0, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1) reveals that changing the composition of the transition metals affects the resulting structure and the stability of pure P2 phases at various temperatures of calcination. For 0 ≤ y ≤ 1.0, the P2-Na_xCo_(1–y)Mn_2y/3Ni_y/3O₂ solid-solution compounds deliver good electrochemical performance when cycled between 2.0 and 4.2 V versus Na⁺/Na with improved capacity stability in long-term cycling, especially for electrode materials with lower Co content (y = 1/2 and 2/3), despite lower discharge capacities being observed. The (1/2)P2-Na_xCoO₂–(1/2)P2-Na_xMn_2/3Ni_1/3O₂ composition delivers a discharge capacity of 101.04 mAh g^–1 with a capacity loss of only 3% after 100 cycles and a Coulombic efficiency exceeding 99.2%. Cycling this material to a higher cutoff voltage of 4.5 V versus Na⁺/Na increases the specific discharge capacity to ≈140 mAh g^–1 due to the appearance of a well-defined high-voltage plateau, but after only 20 cycles, capacity retention declines to 88% and Coulombic efficiency drops to around 97%.

P2-type Na _2/3 Ni _1/3 Mn _2/3 O ₂ Cathode Material with Excellent Rate and Cycling Performance for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Journal Article Mao, Jing ; Liu, Xin ; Liu, Jianwen ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

P2-type Na_2/3Ni_1/3Mn_2/3O₂ is an air-stable cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, it suffers irreversible P2-O2 phase transition in 4.2-V plateau and shows poor cycling stability and rate capability within this plateau. To evaluate the practicability of this material in 2.3–4.1 V voltage range, single-crystal micro-sized P2-type Na_2/3Ni_1/3Mn_2/3O₂ with high rate capability and cycling stability is synthesized via polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-combustion method. The electrochemical performance is evaluated by galvanostatic charge-discharge tests. The kinetics of Na⁺ intercalation/deintercalation is studied detailly with potential intermittent titration technique (PITT), galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and cyclic voltammetry (CV).

O2 structure Li{sub 2/3}[Ni{sub 1/3}Mn{sub 2/3}]O{sub 2}: A new layered cathode material for rechargeable lithium batteries. 1. Electrochemical properties

Journal Article Paulsen, J M ; Thomas, C L ; Dahn, J R - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Layered Li-Mn oxide-based materials (Li{sub 2/3}[Ni{sub x}Mn{sub 1{minus}x}]O{sub 2}) with the unconventional P2 structure were prepared by ion exchanging Na for Li in the corresponding P2 structure sodium bronzes, Na{sub 2/3}(Ni{sub x}Mn{sub 1{minus}x})O{sub 2}. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to confirm the purity and structure of the phase. The Bragg peaks from Li{sub 2/3}[Ni{sub 1/3}Mn{sub 2/3}]O{sub 2} can be indexed based on a hexagonal unit cell with dimensions a = 2.8609{angstrom} and c = 10.061{angstrom}, and the diffraction pattern can be approximately matched assuming that the atoms are in 2a and 2b positions of space group P6{sub 3}mc.

On Disrupting the Na⁺-Ion/Vacancy Ordering in P2-Type Sodium–Manganese–Nickel Oxide Cathodes for Na⁺-Ion Batteries

Journal Article Gutierrez, Arturo ; Dose, Wesley M. ; Borkiewicz, Olaf ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

An investigation of the electrochemical and structural properties of layered P2-Na_0.62Mn_0.75Ni_0.25O₂ is presented. The effect of changing the Mn:Ni ratio (3:1) from what is found in Na_0.67Mn_0.67Ni_0.33O₂ (2:1) and consequently the introduction of a third metal center (Mn³⁺) was investigated. X-ray diffraction (in-situ and powder) revealed the lack of Na+-ion/vacancy ordering at the relevant sodium contents (x = 0.33, 0.5 and 0.67). The Mn³⁺ in Na_0.62Mn_0.75Ni_0.25O₂ introduces defects into the Ni-Mn inter-plane charge order that in turn disrupts the ordering within the Na-plane. The material underwent a P2-O2 and P2-P2’ phase transition at high (4.2 V) and low (~ 1.85more »« less

First-Cycle Simulation for Li-Rich Layered Oxide Cathode Material xLi ₂MnO₃•(1-x)LiMO₂ (x = 0.4)

Journal Article Benedek, Roy - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Here, lithium-rich layered oxides (LRLO) xLi ₂MnO₃•(1-x)LiMO₂ continue to attract attention owing to their promise of high capacity and energy density as lithium-ion battery cathodes, despite the degradation of atomic structure and energy density (voltage fade) with cycling. First-principles DFT calculations for the model systems M = Co and M = Mn_0.5Ni_0.5 provide insights into the atomic-scale transformations in the bulk during the first charge and discharge of LRLO. The simulations were performed with the VASP code at the GGA+U level. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted at T = 1000 K (charge) and 2000 K (discharge) to accelerate the dynamics.more »« less

Electrochemical properties of Li(Li{sub 0.2}Ni{sub 0.2}Mn{sub 0.6})O{sub 2}, synthesized by a sol-gel method, were studied by galvanostatic cycling. When the Li/Li(Li{sub 0.2}Ni{sub 0.2}Mn{sub 0.6})O{sub 2} cell was cycled at 2.0--4.6 V, the material showed a long, irreversible plateau at 4.5--4.6 V and exhibited very high initial charge capacity of 240 mAh/g, which is much larger than a theoretical value for the reaction of Li(Li{sup +}{sub 0.2}Ni{sup 2+}{sub 0.2}Mn{sup 4+}{sub 0.6})O{sub 2} {yields} Li{sub 0.6}(Li{sup +}{sub 0.2}Ni{sup 4+}{sub 0.2}Mn{sup 4+}{sub 0.6})O{sub 2} + 0.4Li (126 mAh/g).
