Magnesium substituted P2-structure Na0.67Ni0.3Mn0.7O2 materials have been prepared by a facile solid-state method and investigated as cathodes in sodium-ion batteries. The Mg-doped described here were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (SS-NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). electrochemical performance of the samples was tested half cells vs Na metal at room temperature. operate high average voltage ca. 3.3 V Na/Na+ delivering specific capacities...

Tin sulfide–reduced graphene oxide (SnS2-rGO) composite material is investigated as an advanced anode for Na-ion batteries. It can deliver a reversible capacity of 630 mAh g–1 with negligible loss and exhibits superb rate performance. Here, the energy storage mechanism this SnS2-rGO critical mechanistic role rGO will be revealed in detail. A synergistic involving conversion alloying reactions proposed based on our synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SXRD) situ absorption spectroscopy (XAS)...

It is possible to increase the charge capacity of transition-metal (TM) oxide cathodes in alkali-ion batteries by invoking redox reactions on oxygen. However, oxygen loss often occurs. To explore what affects materials, we have compared two analogous Na-ion cathodes, P2-Na0.67Mg0.28Mn0.72O2 and P2-Na0.78Li0.25Mn0.75O2. On charging 4.5 V, >0.4e– are removed from ions these but neither compound exhibits loss. Li retained P2-Na0.78Li0.25Mn0.75O2 displaced TM alkali metal layers, showing that...

Abstract Lithium‐rich transition metal cathodes can deliver higher capacities than stoichiometric materials by exploiting redox reactions on oxygen. However, oxidation of O 2− charging often results in loss oxygen from the lattice. In case Li 2 MnO 3 all capacity arises loss, whereas doping with Ni and/or Co leads to archetypal O‐redox Li[Li 0.2 Mn 0.6 ]O and 0.13 0.54 , which exhibit much reduced loss. Understanding factors that determine degree reversible versus irreversible O‐loss is...

The argument presented on behalf of ‘the slightest philosophy’ by Hume that ‘The table, which we see, seems to diminish, as remove farther from it: But the real exists independent us, suffers no alteration’, in contrasting seen with table requires first relative clause be defining; but possibility identifying tables independently being non-defining. John P. Wright's objection Reid's rejoinder is rebutted. A similarly worded Alciphron avoids confusion since Berkeley denies things like can...

There is no common sense answer to a philosophical problem. One can defend against the attacks of philosophers only by solving their puzzles, i.e., curing them temptation attack sense; not restating views sense. A philosopher man out his senses, who doesn't see what everybody sees; nor on other hand disagreement with that scientist disagreeing coarse in street.'
