New alluaudite-type Na3.4Co1.3(MoO4)3 for sodium-ion batteries and electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution
摘要
The alluaudite-type compound Na3.4Co1.3(MoO4)3 has been successfully synthesized by a solid-state process route. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system (C2/c), cell parameters (Å,°): a = 12.582(5) Å, b = 13.449(8) Å, c = 7.119(7) Å, β = 112.02(4)°, V = 1116.8(14) Å3, and Z = 4. Its crystal structure consists of octahedral [MO6] (M = Co, Na) and tetrahedral [MoO4] that share corners and/or edges to build the 3D framework. The sample was also characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, which confirmed crystal data, and infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopies. Its morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The vibrational study confirms the existence of the
