The invention discloses a pure cation valence-variable P2-phase layered
oxide material with
high sodium content as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The chemical general formula ofthe material is Nax [LiiNijMnkMy] O2 + beta, and li, Ni, Mn and M jointly occupy the position of
transition metal ions in the
crystal structure, wherein M is an element for
doping and substituting atransition
metal site and is one or more of Cu <2+>, Mg <2+>, Mn <2+>, Zn <2+>, Al <3+>, B <3+>, Zr <4+> and Ti <4+>, and x, y, i, j, k and beta are mole percentages of the corresponding elements respectively; the relationship among x, y, i, j, k and beta satisfies y+i+j+k=1, and x +my+i+2j+4k=2 (2 + beta); 0.8<= x<= 0.85; 0<i<= 0.1; 0<j<= 0.4; 0<k <=0.65; -0.05<= beta<=0.05; m is a valence stateof M, and the
space group of the layered
oxide material is P63 / mmc or P63 / mcm. The material is used as a positive
electrode active material of a
sodium ion secondary battery, and the
charge compensation is completely realized by obtaining and losing electrons by
transition metal cations in the charging and discharging process, so that the structural change caused by the participation of anions invalence change is effectively inhibited, and the
cycling stability of the material is greatly improved.
