Synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of anode material NaxFe2/3Mn1/3O2 for Na-ION batteries
Abstract
In this research, the anode material NaxFe2/3Mn1/3O2 (NaFMO) has been successfully prepared by the co-precipitation method in an inert atmosphere. O3-NaxFe2/3Mn1/3O2 phase was formed after calcination of the precipitation at 900°C for 12, 15, 24, and 36 hours. After calcination for 12 hours, the obtained material had the best characteristics, with large lattice parameters (a=b=2.9738 Å, c=16.3815 Å and V=125.46 Å3) and a specific capacity up to 118 mAh/g in the voltage range of 1.5-4 V (vs. Na+/Na) at the current rate C/10. The specific capacity of the NaxFe2/3Mn1/3O2 material was due to the contribution of both redox pairs Mn4+/Mn3+ và Fe4+/Fe3+. In addition, the charge-discharge curves shown a large drop of ~ 500 mV, which indicated a large internal resistance of the material.
