Sr doping improving electrochemical performance of O3-NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode material in sodium-ion batteries
摘要
O3-NaNi1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3O2 (NNFM) is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity and appropriate operating voltage. However, the poor structure stability and slow Na+ diffusion rate limit its application. The effect of Sr substitution on Srx-NNFM (x = 0, 0.005, 0.010, and 0.015) was systematically investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, ICP, and electrochemical techniques. The results show that Sr2+ ions can be introduced into the transition metal layer and the structure stability, Na+ ion transport rate, and electrochemical properties can be effectively enhanced. The Sr0.010-NNFM cathode material can display an initial discharge capacity of 160.49 mAh·g−1 at 0.1C,and an initial capacity of 128.48 mAh g−1 at 1C with a capacity retention of 71.16% after 300 cycles,and a good rate performance.
