Abstract

A layered Zn-doped compound of Na0.7Zn0.15Mn0.75O2 is synthesized by a facile solid-state method. The product exhibits the same structure as P2-Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2, and some particles of the product are of lamellar shape with the thickness being about 0.6 μm. When the material is tested on the properties of intercalating/deintercalating Na+ in the voltage 2–4.4 V, it can deliver an initial discharge capacity of 158 mAh g−1. When the material is charged to different voltage, XPS spectra are performed on the surface of this material, and it is disclosed that oxygen activity makes the main part of contributions to charge compensation on the initial extracting Na+ process, while there is no apparent peak shift for the XPS spectra of Mn 2P3/2.
