Abstract
AbstractTo realize a reversible solid‐state MnIII/IV redox couple in layered oxides, co‐operative Jahn–Teller distortion (CJTD) of six‐coordinate MnIII (t2g3–eg1) is a key factor in terms of structural and physical properties. We develop a single‐phase synthesis route for two polymorphs, namely distorted and undistorted P2‐type Na2/3MnO2 having different Mn stoichiometry, and investigate how the structural and stoichiometric difference influences electrochemical reaction. The distorted Na2/3MnO2 delivers 216 mAh g−1 as a 3 V class positive electrode, reaching 590 Wh (kg oxide)−1 with excellent cycle stability in a non‐aqueous Na cell and demonstrates better electrochemical behavior compared to undistorted Na2/3MnO2. Furthermore, reversible phase transitions correlated with CJTD are found upon (de)sodiation for distorted Na2/3MnO2, providing a new insight into utilization of the MnIII/IV redox couple for positive electrodes of Na‐ion batteries.
