摘要

We successfully synthesized a new sodium-manganese paratungstate-B cluster containing compound, Na2[{Mn(H2O)3}2{Mn(H2O)4}2{H2W12O42}]·6H2O (Na-POM) using a straightforward, one-pot aqueous method. We confirmed its structure using single-crystal X-ray crystallography along with various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The {H2W12O42}10− cluster unit, which is present in the crystal structure denoted it as a paratungstate-B polyoxometalate (POM). In the concerned crystal structure, the Na+ cations occupy the interstitial positions between the paratungstate clusters and possibly create pathways that allow Na+ ions to move relatively easily. This structural advantage prompted us to perform electrochemical studies toward charging and discharging for a possible aqueous alkali metal storage system. Na-POM shows decent cycling stability over 50 cycles, retaining 65% of its initial capacity and delivering a specific discharge capacity of 37 mA h g−1 at 350 mA g−1 current density. These findings pave a pathway to use POMs and POM-based materials in the area of energy storage applications, especially in aqueous sodium-ion batteries.

Graphical abstract

In this work, we have synthesized a Na-Mn-containing paratungstate-B polyoxometalate compound, Na2[{Mn(H2O)3}2{Mn(H2O)4}2{H2W12O42}]·6H2O (Na-POM), and characterized it by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, including routine spectroscopic and microscopic analyses. Interestingly, Na-POM acts as a storage material, exhibiting a specific discharge capacity of 37 mA h g−1 at a current density of 350 mA g−1 in an acidic aqueous NaCl electrolyte.
