Abstract

By employing P2-type hexagonal Na0.7MnO2.05 submicron particles synthesized by a wet chemistry method, AlPO4-coated Na0.7MnO2.05 materials have been fabricated via a precipitation process. AlPO4-coated Na0.7MnO2.05 materials display much better electrochemical performance than pristine Na0.7MnO2.05 as sodium ion battery cathode materials. The 5 wt% AlPO4-coated Na0.7MnO2.05 delivers high discharge capacity of 154.3 mAh g−1 at low current density of 0.02 A g−1. Besides, it shows excellent rate ability and cycle performance. It delivers high discharge capacity of 103.9 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1, maintaining 92.4% capacity retention after 100 cycles. However, the pristine Na0.7MnO2.05 only shows the capacity retention of 62.4% in the same case. The results reveal that AlPO4 coating plays a dominant role on the improved electrochemical capability and the mechanism of significantly enhanced electrochemical capability for AlPO4-coated Na0.7MnO2.05 is systematically investigated.
