The cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis of the half-cells is performed at 10 degrees C, room temperature (RT), and 50 degrees C to elucidate the redox reaction mechanisms at different temperatures. Among the studied cathodes, the highest specific capacity is obtained fox = 0.06 which delivered a specific capacity of 186 mAh g-1 at C/3-rate. The full cell of Na0.67Mn0.44Ni0.06-Fe0.43Ti0.07O2/hard carbon couple is assembled in coin cell format and the specific capacity of the cell at C/2, 1C, and 2C rates are found as 153 mAh g- 1, 125 mAh g-1 and 120 mAh g-1, respectively. At the C/2-rate, the excellent capacity retention of the full cell is around 70% after 500 cycles delivering a specific capacity of 103 mAh g- 1. Along with the conventional physicochemical characterization methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Raman and Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopies (FTIR), we also utilize X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to bridge the nexus between the performance and the structure properties of the studied materials. Furthermore, we also employ synchrotron-based X-ray Absorption (XAS) to understand the local geometry of the optimized cathode materials in operando.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNa-ion full cellOperando XASArticle59110.1016/j.jpowsour.2023.2337752-s2.0-85177824328Q1WOS:001125260500001Q1
