Impact of Transition Metal Layer Vacancy on the Structure and Performance of P2 Type Layered Sodium Cathode Material
Abstract
Highlights Vacancy in the transition metal layer of sodium cathode material induces the formation lone-pair electrons in the O 2p orbital. Material delivers more capacity from the oxygen redox validated by density functional calculation. Widened dominance of the OP4 phase without releasing O2 gas.
