Title: Realizing Complete Solid-Solution Reaction in High Sodium Content P2-Type Cathode for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries

Abstract

P2-type layered oxides suffer from an ordered Na+/vacancy arrangement and P2→O2/OP4 phase transitions, leading them to exhibit multiple voltage plateaus upon Na+ extraction/insertion. The deficient sodium in the P2-type cathode easily induces the bad structural stability at deep desodiation states and limited reversible capacity during Na+ de/insertion. These drawbacks cause poor rate capability and fast capacity decay in most P2-type layered oxides. In this work, to address these challenges, a novel high sodium content (0.85) and plateau-free P2-type cathode-Na0.85Li0.12Ni0.22Mn0.66O2 (P2-NLNMO) was developed. The complete solid-solution reaction over a wide voltage range ensures both fast Na+ mobility (10-11 to 10-10cm2s-1) and small volume variation (1.7%). Furthermore, the high sodium content P2-NLNMO exhibits a higher reversible capacity of 123.4 mAhg-1, superior rate capability of 79.3 mAhg-1 at 20 C, and 85.4% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 5 C. The sufficient Na and complete solid-solution reaction are critical to realizing high-performance P2-type cathodes for sodium-ion batteries.
