Abstract
Though layered sodium oxide materials are identified as promising cathodes in sodium-ion batteries, biphasic P3/O3 depicts improved electrochemical performance and structural stability. Herein, a coexistent P3/O3 biphasic cathode material was synthesized with "LiF" integration, verified with X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement analysis. Furthermore, the presence of Li and F was deduced by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The biphasic P3/O3 cathode displayed an excellent capacity retention of 85% after 100 cycles (0.2C/30 mA g-1) at room temperature and 94% at -20 °C after 100 cycles (0.1C/15 mA g-1) with superior rate capability as compared to the pristine cathode. Furthermore, a full cell comprising a hard carbon anode and a biphasic cathode with 1 M NaPF6 electrolyte displayed excellent cyclic stabilities at a wider temperature range of -20 to 50 °C (with the energy density of 151.48 Wh kg-1) due to the enhanced structural stability, alleviated Jahn-Teller distortions, and rapid Na+ kinetics facilitating Na+ motion at various temperatures in sodium-ion batteries. The detailed post-characterization studies revealed that the incorporation of LiF accounts for facile Na+ kinetics, boosting the overall Na storage.
