Abstract

Layered lithium transition-metal oxides have remained at the forefront since the first commercialization of layered LiCoO2 in lithium-ion batteries in 1991. The scientific interest in layered sodium transition-metal oxides as well as potassium transition-metal oxides has been considerably growing for application to sodium- and potassium-ion batteries. We extend our systematic studies on the series of layered oxides to AxRhO2 (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) and KxMO2 (M = Co, Rh, Ir) electrode system focusing on their crystal structure and electrochemical behaviors in non-aqueous cells as a function of A+ ion. Further studies on P2-type KxRhO2 in comparison to P2-type KxCoO2 show that larger Rh(III/IV) ion than Co(III/IV) is believed to be beneficial for reversibility and kinetic of redox process, accompanied with reversible structural evolution upon oxidation/reduction maintaining the P2 framework.
