This invention relates to a highly stable layered
oxide sodium-
ion battery
cathode active material and its preparation method. The
chemical formula of the
cathode active material is K. x Na y Cu α Ni β Mn 0.6 In the
chemical formula O2, x represents the K
doping amount; α represents the
Cu doping amount; and β represents the Ni
doping amount, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.35, 0.32 ≤ y ≤ 0.67, 0 ≤ α ≤ 0.4, 0 ≤ β ≤ 0.4, and x + y = 0.67, α + β = 0.4; the positive
electrode active material exhibits a layered stacked morphology. This invention employs a novel bi-site substitution strategy, namely, large-
radius K... + Riveted to prismatic Na + Position, Cu 2+ Occupied in
transition metal sites; large
radius K + Occupy Na + The presence of these sites results in larger interlayer spacing, providing more
sodium ion storage sites and faster
ion transport channels. Furthermore, K... + The larger interlayer spacing resulting from
doping corresponds to a multilayered, oriented stacking of nanosheets in the
microstructure, which is beneficial for
sodium ion transport. This invention possesses high Cu content. 2+ / Cu 3+ Cu substitution with a high
redox potential improves the stability of the material when exposed to air and water.
