Ionic Crystal Structures

16.8K
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry
  • Energy Storage

Background:

  • O3-type layered transition metal oxides are promising for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) but suffer from structural instability.
  • Multiphase transitions during cycling lead to degradation and limit practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the structural robustness of O3-type layered oxides for SIBs.
  • To investigate the effect of spatially selective multi-element substitution on electrochemical performance.

Main Methods:

  • Spatially selective multi-element substitution with Mg, Cu, Ti, and B.
  • Electrochemical cycling in half and full cells.
  • Density functional theory (DFT) analysis.

Main Results:

  • Optimized composition (NaNi0.4Mg0.05Cu0.05Mn0.3Ti0.2B0.05O2) stabilized the O3 → P3 phase transition.
  • Enhanced structural stability by inhibiting interfacial degradation and strengthening the lattice.
  • Achieved 85% capacity retention after 300 cycles in full cells at 0.5 C.

Conclusions:

  • Spatially differentiated substitution architecture significantly improves structural stability.
  • Strong B─O covalency is key for anchoring the P3 framework.
  • The strategy provides fundamental insights for designing advanced SIB cathode materials.
