Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are becoming promising candidates for energy storage devices due to the low cost, abundant reserves, and excellent electrochemical performance. As the most important unit, layered cathodes attract much attention, where honeycomb-layered-oxides (HLOs) manifest outstanding structural stability, high redox potential, and long-life electrochemistry. Here, recent progress on HLOs as well as Na 3 Ni 2 SbO 6 and Na 3 Ni 2 BiO 6 as two representative materials are introduced, and the crystal and electronic structure, electrochemical performance, and modification strategies are summarized. The advanced high nickel HLOs are highlighted toward development of state-of-the-art sodium-ion batteries. This review would deepen the understanding of superstructure in layered oxides, as well as structure-property relationship, and inspire more interest in high output voltage, long lifespan sodium-ion batteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
