Abstract
O3-Type layered oxides are widely studied as cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical capacities. However, their rate capability and durability are limited by tortuous Na+ diffusion channels and complicated phase evolution during Na+ extraction/insertion. Here we report our findings in unravelling the mechanism for dramatically enhancing the stability and rate capability of O3-NaNi0.5Mn0.5-xSbxO2 (NaNMS) by substitutional Sb doping, which can alter the coordination environment and chemical bonds of the transition metal (TM) ions in the structure, resulting in a more stable structure with wider Na+ transport channels. Furthermore, NaNMS nanoparticles are obtained by surface energy regulation during grain growth. The synergistic effect of Sb doping and nanostructuring greatly reduces the ionic migration energy barrier while increasing the reversibility of the structural evolution during repeated Na+ extraction/insertion. An optimized NaNMS-1 electrode delivers a reversible capacity of 212.3 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and 74.5 mAh g-1 at 50 C with minimal capacity loss after 100 cycles at a low temperature of -20 °C. Such electrochemical performance is superior to most of the reported layered oxide cathodes used in rechargeable SIBs.

Abstract
The essential requirement to harness well-known renewable energy sources like wind energy, solar energy, etc. as a component of an overall plan to guarantee global power sustainability will require highly efficient, high power and energy density batteries to collect the derived electrical power and balance out variations in both supply and demand. Owing to the continuous exhaustion of fossil fuels, and ever increasing ecological problems associated with global warming, there is a critical requirement for searching for an alternative energy storage technology for a better and sustainable future. Electrochemical energy storage technology could be a solution for a sustainable source of clean energy. Sodium-ion battery (SIB) technology having a complementary energy storage mechanism to the lithium-ion battery (LIB) has been attracting significant attention from the scientific community due to its abundant resources, low cost, and high energy densities. Layered transition metal oxide (TMO) based materials for SIBs could be a potential candidate for SIBs among all other cathode materials. In this paper, we discussed the latest improvement in the various structures of the layered oxide materials for SIBs. Moreover, their synthesis, overall electrochemical performance, and several challenges associated with SIBs are comprehensively discussed with a stance on future possibilities. Many articles discussed the improvement of cathode materials for SIBs, and most of them have pondered the use of Na x MO2 (a class of TMOs) as a possible positive electrode material for SIBs. The different phases of layered TMOs (Na x MO2; TM = Co, Mn, Ti, Ni, Fe, Cr, Al, V, and a combination of multiple elements) show good cycling capacity, structural stability, and Na+ ion conductivity, which make them promising cathode material for SIBs. This review discusses and summarizes the electrochemical redox reaction, structural transformations, significant challenges, and future prospects to improve for Na x MO2. Moreover, this review highlights the recent advancement of several layered TMO cathode materials for SIBs. It is expected that this review will encourage further development of layered TMOs for SIBs.

Structural and Electrochemical Properties of Layered P2-Na0.8Co0.8Ti0.2O2 Cathode in Sodium-Ion Batteries. ENERGIES 2022.

Abstract
Layered Na0.8Co0.8Ti0.2O2 oxide crystallizes in the β-RbScO2 structure type (P2 modification) with Co(III) and Ti(IV) cations sharing the same crystallographic site in the metal-oxygen layers. It was synthesized as a single-phase material and characterized as a cathode in Na- and Na-ion batteries. A reversible capacity of about 110 mA h g−1 was obtained during cycling between 4.2 and 1.8 V vs. Na+/Na with a 0.1 C current density. This potential window corresponds to minor structural changes during (de)sodiation, evaluated from operando XRD analysis. This finding is in contrast to Ti-free NaxCoO2 materials showing a multi-step reaction mechanism, thus identifying Ti as a structure stabilizer, similar to other layered O3- and P2-NaxCo1−yTiyO2 oxides. However, charging the battery with the Na0.8Co0.8Ti0.2O2 cathode above 4.2 V results in the reversible formation of a O2-phase, while discharging below 1.5 V leads to the appearance of a second P2-layered phase with a larger unit cell, which disappears completely during subsequent battery charge. Extension of the potential window to higher or lower potentials beyond the 4.2–1.8 V range leads to a faster deterioration of the electrochemical performance. After 100 charging-discharging cycles between 4.2 and 1.8 V, the battery showed a capacity loss of about 20% in a conventional carbonate-based electrolyte. In order to improve the cycling stability, different approaches including protective coatings or layers of the cathodic and anodic surface were applied and compared with each other.
