“…7,8 While SIBs may not match the energy density of LIBs, they offer compelling advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness, specific capacity, rapid (de)sodiation kinetics, and good cycling performance. 9–11 The quest for reliable cathode materials is of paramount importance in meeting the escalating demand for renewable energy systems. 12,13 Among various cathode compounds, layered oxides (Na x TMO 2 , 0 < x ≦ 1; TM stands for transition metals, especially nickel and manganese) exhibit desirable characteristics such as excellent conductivity and high capacity.…”
