Abstract
- Layered manganese oxide represents one most potential cathode for sodium-ion batteries thanks to high theoretical specific capacity, low cost and environmental friendliness. Nevertheless, its surface structure degrades owing to the hydration reaction when being stored in the humid air. Herein, Na 0.67 Mn 0.92 Cu 0.04 Fe 0.04 O 2 (NMCFO) cathode material is functionalized by tetradecylphosphonic acid (TPA) on the surface to enhance the air stability. It is demonstrated that the TPA protection layer could improve the surface hydrophobicity, and further inhibit the hydration reaction to produce residual alkali, effectively maintaining modified material's crystal structure and electrochemical performance. After 28 days of placement in the humid air, the modified material delivers a specific capacity of 94.0 mAh g−1 at 5C, and exhibits a capacity retention of 92.22% after 100 cycles at 1C. In summary, we provide an effective pathway to protect layered manganese oxide and other moisture-sensitive materials without sacrificing cell performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
