dc.description.abstractWe report the synthesis and electrochemical performance of an optimized core-shell structure composed of P2type Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2 coated with TiO2. The structural properties are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which confirm the successful formation of the core-shell structure. Electrochemical performance is evaluated through tests on halfcells and full-cells. Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2@TiO2 as cathode and sodium metal as anode are used in half-cells, while in full-cells, presodiated hard carbon (Pre-SHC) anodes are prepared via a direct-contact method. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests show similar redox behavior for uncoated and TiO2-coated Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2. Galvanostatic cycling tests are performed using two different voltage windows of 1.5-3.5 V and 1.5-4.3 V and capacity retention values are compared. Performance analysis of the full-cells reveals the best conditions for the presodiation process for the hard carbon (HC) anode. The first charge and discharge capacity values are used to determine the optimized presodiation conditions. Long-term cycling tests for both uncoated and TiO2-coated Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2 cathodes show significantly improved capacity retention and stability for the Na0.67Mn.0.5Fe0.5O2 @TiO2 cathode over 500 cycles at 0.5 and 1.0C rates. This study highlights the effectiveness of the TiO2 coating in enhancing the electrochemical performance and stability of Na0.67Mn0.5Fe0.5O2 cathode material.
