Impact of Mg and Ti doping in O3 type NaNi 1/2 Mn 1/2 O 2 on reversibility and phase transition during electrochemical Na intercalation
O3 type layered sodium nickel manganese oxide, NaNi 1/2 Mn 1/2 O 2 , which is isostructural with α-NaFeO 2 , has attracted attention as a promising positive electrode material for sodium-ion batteries owing to its large reversible capacity of ca. 200 mA h g −1 .

materials with Mg or/and Ti substitution are synthesized. The materials with Mg or Ti substitution exhibit better capacity capability, and Mg and Ti co-substituted material demonstrates even better capacity capability, with an initial discharge capacity of 200 mA h g
−1
without any capacity loss due to substitution. Substitution of Mg
2+
and Ti
4+
, which are larger ions than Ni
2+
or Mn
4+
, results in a larger in-plane lattice of the O3 type structure, in contrast to the shrinkage during charging, and this has the potential to delay the phase transition during charging. In contrast to the non-substituted NaNi
1/2
Mn
1/2
O
2
, the Mg and Ti co-substituted material demonstrates more continuous phase transitions and lattice parameter changes, and no significant shrinkage of the interslab spacing in the layered structure, as evidenced by
ex situ
and
operando
X-ray diffraction. The coexistence of Mg and Ti enhances not only the reversibility of the structural change but also the structural stability at the surface, resulting in the excellent sodium battery performance. |
