    Lithium-ion batteries are now successfully developed with higher energy densities than classical aqueous-based battery technologies and are used as power sources for electric vehicles and other electric storage applications. Sodium-ion batteries are another emerging battery technology, but their energy density is not high compared to that of their Li counterparts. Anionic redox reactions have attracted attention due to their potential to enhance the reversible capacity and operating voltage of positive electrode materials in Na/Li batteries. To understand the influence of Al substitution on the activation mechanism of anionic redox reactions in Na-/Li-containing Mn-based layered oxides, the P2-type Al-substituted Na2/3Al0.1Mn0.9O2 is designed to explore the difference in the anionic redox behavior. LiyAl0.1Mn0.9O2 is also prepared by electrochemical ion exchange, and the anionic redox behavior was compared for both samples. The Al-substituted Na2/3Al0.1Mn0.9O2 provides better cycling performance with partial activation of anionic redox, which is not observed for P′2-type Na2/3MnO2. Good reversibility for Na2/3Al0.1Mn0.9O2 and LiyAl0.1Mn0.9O2 with anionic redox is achieved, and this improvement originates from the nonexcessive use of anionic redox in electrode materials. This finding opens the possibility to develop high-energy sodium/lithium insertion materials with reversible anionic redox.

    Li-excess cation-disordered rocksalt oxides can boost the energy density of rechargeable batteries by using anionic redox, but the inferior reversibility of anionic redox hinders its use for practical applications. Herein, a binary system of Li3NbO4-LiMnO2 is targeted and the systematic study on factors affecting electrode reversibility, i.e., percolation probability, electronic conductivity, defect concentrations, and electrolyte solutions, is conducted. A Mn-rich sample, Li1.1Nb0.1Mn0.8O2, delivers a smaller reversible capacity compared with a Li-rich sample, Li1.3Nb0.3Mn0.4O2, because of the limitation of ionic migration associated with insufficient percolation probability for disordered oxides. Nevertheless, a larger reversible capacity of Li1.3Nb0.3Mn0.4O2 originates from excessive activation of anionic redox, leading to the degradation of electrode reversibility. The superior performance of Li1.1Nb0.1Mn0.8O2, including Li ion migration kinetics and electronic transport properties, is unlocked by the enrichment of structural defects for nanosized oxides. Moreover, electrode reversibility is further improved by using a highly concentrated electrolyte solution with LiN(SO2F)(2) through the surface stabilization on high-voltage exposure. Superior capacity retention, >100 cycles, is achieved for nanosized Li1.1Nb0.1Mn0.8O2. The electrolyte decomposition and surface stabilization mechanisms are also carefully examined, and it is revealed that the use of highly concentrated electrolyte solution can effectively prevent lattice oxygen being further oxidized and transition metal ion dissolution.

    A series of lithium-containing oxides with V3+ and Mn3+ ions are proposed as emerging high-capacity positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. These oxides are typically synthesized by a calcination process in an inert atmosphere. For the successful synthesis of these materials, the strict control of oxygen partial pressure is necessary to prevent partial oxidation of materials during calcination. In this article, a simple methodology used in laboratory-scale material production, i.e., an oxygen trap by Cu foil, is described to synthesize phase pure oxides, which are easily oxidized on calcination. To demonstrate the benefit of the methodology, Li8/7Ti2/7V4/7O2 and Li8/7Ti2/7Mn4/7O2 are selected as lithium-containing oxides with V3+ and Mn3+ ions, respectively. Single phase oxides are successfully obtained from the pellets calcined with Cu foil, whereas partially oxidized phases are obtained for the pellets calcined without Cu foil. Moreover, phase-pure oxides synthesized with Cu foil show much better performance as positive electrode materials for battery applications. This methodology is also expected to be applied for material synthesis for diverse applications. A simple methodology to synthesize easily oxidized materials with Mn3+ and V3+ ions, which are used as emerging high-capacity positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, is proposed.
