Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are now attracting special attention with a great cost advantage over rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). For the successful development of the SIBs, it is imperative to find new cathode and anode materials with high capacity, high power, and long cycle life. With this perspective, we have examined the electrochemical properties of O3-layer structured oxides, Na3M(II)2M(V)O6, with a honeycomb ordering of M(II) and M(V) in the metal layer for the cathode material in SIBs. One of these class materials, Na3Ni2BiO6, is able to reversibly deliver specific discharge capacities of up to 109 mAh/g with very flat voltage plateaus ~3.5V vs. Na/Na+. For the anode materials, various compositions of transition metal oxides including Ti, Fe and Sn elements having tunnel - structures (single- and double- tunnels) are explored as rechargeable SIBs. |
