Enhanced Na-storage properties of O3-type NaNi0.5Mn0.5O2 cathodes by doping and coating dual-modification strategy
Due to their high theoretical specific capacities and good structural compatibility, O3-layered oxides are considered as high-performance cathode candidates for sodium-ion batteries. However, serious side reactions and structural degradation during long-term cycling have greatly hindered their practical applications. Herein, O3-type NaNi 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 2 (NNMO) was prepared by partially substituting Ni 2+ with Cu 2+ and inducing CuO surface coating to enhance the structural stability without sacrificing the high capacity. In Particular, Cu 2+ incorporated at a molar ratio of 0.10 greatly improved the electrochemical performance of pristine NNMO. The NaMn 0.5 Ni 0.4 Cu 0.1 O 2 electrode exhibited a capacity retention of 64.5% after 300 cycles at 0.5 C. Microscopic and spectral studies revealed that the CuO coating layer suppressed detrimental side reactions upon cycling. Moreover, the bulk doping of Cu 2+ ultimately enhanced the structural stability by mitigating irreversible phase transitions. Hence, the integration of bulk Cu 2+ doping and CuO surface coating contributed to the increased structural stability and electrochemical performance of NNMO. The doping and coating dual-modification strategy established in this work effectively suppressed the side reactions and structural degradation of NNMO, and this work provides new insight into the effective design of electrode microstructures for use in high-performance batteries.
