Full‐Scale Regulation Enabled High‐Performance Sodium O3‐Type Layered Cathodes

O3-type cathodes hold considerable promise in achieving rapid commercialization due to high energy density. However, severe structural/interfacial deterioration, along with kinetic hindrance, typically resulting in rapid capacity fading and serious safety risk at elevated cut-off voltages. Herein, inspired from solubility limitation of hetero-elements, synchronous surface-to-bulk multifunctionally full-scale modified O3-NaNi<sub>1/3</sub>Fe<sub>1/3</sub>Mn<sub>1/3</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is proposed to maintain its state of health (SOH). The perovskite-type CaZrO<sub>3</sub> protective layer in situ formed on the surface of primary particles, helps to construct a stable cathode-electrolyte-interphase architecture, mitigate the unexpected interfacial side reactions and prevent transition metal dissolution. Simultaneously, Ca<sup>2+</sup> pillars, robust Zr-O bonds and the highly electronegative F<sup>-</sup> are adequately anchored into ternary lattice sites of Na-TM-O, respectively, thereby reinforcing the TMO<sub>6</sub> octahedra and facilitating Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion. Notably, the intrinsic lattice strain is effectively alleviated due to an additional intergrowth phase transition of P3-OP2. More impressively, migration of Jahn-Teller distorted Fe<sup>4+</sup>O<sub>6</sub> is further restrained, originating from the strengthened coordination environment under deep-desodiation state. Consequently, as-designed NFM-CZF achieves an impressive rate capability and a remarkable capacity retention of 83.8 % after 300 cycles at 2 C. This elaborate work shed valuable insight into mechanism of regulating internal full Wyckoff-site and external surface structure for sodium-ion batteries with enhanced durability.

Abstract

O3-type cathodes hold considerable promise in achieving rapid commercialization due to high energy density. However, severe structural/interfacial deterioration, along with kinetic hindrance, typically resulting in rapid capacity fading and serious safety risk at elevated cut-off voltages. Herein, inspired from solubility limitation of hetero-elements, synchronous surface-to-bulk multifunctionally full-scale modified O3-NaNi<sub>1/3</sub>Fe<sub>1/3</sub>Mn<sub>1/3</sub>O<sub>2</sub> is proposed to maintain its state of health (SOH). The perovskite-type CaZrO<sub>3</sub> protective layer in situ formed on the surface of primary particles, helps to construct a stable cathode-electrolyte-interphase architecture, mitigate the unexpected interfacial side reactions and prevent transition metal dissolution. Simultaneously, Ca<sup>2+</sup> pillars, robust Zr-O bonds and the highly electronegative F<sup>-</sup> are adequately anchored into ternary lattice sites of Na-TM-O, respectively, thereby reinforcing the TMO<sub>6</sub> octahedra and facilitating Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion. Notably, the intrinsic lattice strain is effectively alleviated due to an additional intergrowth phase transition of P3-OP2. More impressively, migration of Jahn-Teller distorted Fe<sup>4+</sup>O<sub>6</sub> is further restrained, originating from the strengthened coordination environment under deep-desodiation state. Consequently, as-designed NFM-CZF achieves an impressive rate capability and a remarkable capacity retention of 83.8 % after 300 cycles at 2 C. This elaborate work shed valuable insight into mechanism of regulating internal full Wyckoff-site and external surface structure for sodium-ion batteries with enhanced durability.
