In this work, we show that the synthesis technique is the main responsible for these phases. We synthesize Na0.67Mn0.33Ni0.33Co0.33O2 with two techniques, solid-state and electrospinning, using two temperatures, 700 degrees C and 900 degrees C. Both electrospun samples sintered at 900 degrees C and 700 degrees C show single phase P2 and P3, respectively. Both solid-state synthesized samples at 900 degrees C and 700 degrees C show mixture of P2/P3. Electrochemical properties of the sample with only P3 phase has the highest initial capacity of 130 mAhg(-1) at C/ 3 rate. The sample with only P2 phase has very stable cycle performance with 87 % capacity retention over 100 cycles consistent with its large interlayer separation. Our results show that the synthesis technique plays a crucial role in the crystal structure and the electrochemical performance of the layered cathode materials for Na-ion batteries.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessElectrospinNa-ion batteryNa0.67Mn0.33Ni0.33Co0.33O2Article28710.1016/j.mseb.2022.1161062-s2.0-85141333792Q2WOS:000883034100005Q2
