Sodium-ion batteries are the most promising next-generation energy storage systems. Nevertheless, low capacity and short cycle life have hindered their industrial production. Herein, we synthesized novel erythrocyte-like Na 0.67 Mn 0.75 Co 0.25 O 2 cathode materials through a simple co-precipitation and solid-phase method. The material has an erythrocyte morphology, which is different from the typical angular hexagonal morphology. The Na 0.67 Mn 0.75 Co 0.25 O 2 cathode materials have a preeminent dis-charge capacity of 198 mAh g À 1 at 50 mA g À 1 within a voltage range of 1.5-4.3 V and superior cycling and rate performance. The superior performance of the cathode materials is ascribed to the erythrocyte-like morphology and the layered structure that mitigate the stress and expedite the transfer of sodium ions. The Na 0.67 Mn 0.75 Co 0.25 O 2 cathode materials with erythrocyte-like morphology have great potential for industrial production.[a] X. Co(NO 3 ) 2 · 6H 2 O and MnSO 4 · H 2 O were completely dissolved in 50 ml of deionized water and then precipitated with Na 2 CO 3 deionized water solution (0.8 mol NH 3 · H 2 O was added to prevent hydrolysis).The sediment was filtered, rinsed with deionized water after aging at 60°C for 12 h, and dried at 60°C for 12 h in air to obtain a pink powder. The powder was calcined at 500°C for 2 h in air; after cooling to room temperature, the blackish powder was ground with stoichiometric amounts of Na 2 CO 3 . Finally, we calcined the powder in air at 960°C for 12 h and cooled it naturally to obtain the product. The samples of Na 0.67 Mn 0.65 Co 0.35 O 2 and Na 0.67 Mn 0.85 Co 0.15 O 2 were prepared under the same conditions. 4 5 6 7 8
