Abstract

By changing the conditions of synthesis and oxidation of NaCrS 2, the coulombic efficiency and cycling life of Ni x Na 0.1CrS 2 cathodes is significantly improved. The importance of studying the main physical and structural properties of the intercalation compound during the optimization of its electrochemical performance is demonstrated. Imitating the nonexistant CrS 2 in composition and possessing the rugged crystal structure of NaCrS 2, the optimized Li x Na 0.1CrS 2 cathodic material exhibits high coulombic efficiency, excellent cycling resistance, and moderate power capability in nonaqueous secondary Li cells. Having in mind also the simple and reproducible preparation technique and the availability of its raw materials, Li x Na 0.1CrS 2 appears to be a serious candidate for the future secondary Li nonaqueous cell.
