Abstract
Abstract The sodium extraction/insertion in layered transition‐metal oxide (TMO) cathode materials are typically accompanied by slab sliding and lattice changes, leading to microstructure destruction and capacity decay. Herein, negative lattice expansion is observed in an O3 type Ni‐based layered cathode of Na 0.9 Ni 0.32 Zn 0.08 Fe 0.1 Mn 0.3 Ti 0.2 O 2 upon Na + extraction. It is attributed to the weak Zn 2+ −O 2− orbital hybridization and increased electron density of the surrounding oxygen for reinforced interlayer O−O repulsive force. This enables gliding of TMO slabs for the intergrowth phase transition of P3→OP2 to alleviate lattice strain with moderate lattice shrinkage, which exhibits general…
