The invention provides a co-
precipitation synthesis method for Na2 / 3Ni1 / 3Mn2 / 3O2 as an
electrode material and a preparation method of a Na2 / 3Ni1 / 3Mn2 / 3O2
electrode. The co-
precipitation synthesis method comprises the steps of (1) mixing a
nickel source compound solution and a
manganese source compound solution, then, violently stirring to prepare a
mixed solution with the
nickel-to-
manganese molar ratio of (0.8-1.5):1, and meanwhile, adding a complexing agent to complex until the pH value of the solution is up to 7.5-8.5; (2) adding a precipitant for precipitating to obtain a precipitate, carrying out suction
filtration on the obtained precipitate, washing and
drying; (3) carrying out ball milling on the dried product and a
sodium source compound with a stoichiometric ratio, and mixing for 3-10h; (4) placing the ball-milled mixture into a
muffle furnace to pretreat and calcine at high temperature to obtain a final product, namely, Na2 / 3Ni1 / 3Mn2 / 3O2. Proved by an electrochemical test, the material provided by the invention has the
specific discharge capacities of 195mAh / g (0.01C), 153mAh / g (0.05C), 84mAh / g (0.10C), 53mAh / g (0.20C) and 49mAh / g (0.50C) in a rate performance test. The co-
precipitation synthesis method is wide in
raw material source, easy to prepare, low in aqueous
sodium ion electrolyte cost and friendly to environment.
