Abstract

Symmetric sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have become a research focus since they employ bi-functional electrode materials as both the cathode and the anode, resulting in reduced manufacturing cost and simplified fabrication process. Layered oxide bi-functional materials have received great attention recently, while phosphate analogues have rarely been involved in the same energy storage system. Herein, we report a new phosphate compound of Na3Co0.5Mn0.5Ti(PO4)3, and investigate the electrochemical performances of this bi-functional material in traditional organic electrolyte. The results demonstrate that Na3Co0.5Mn0.5Ti(PO4)3 can deliver compatible capacities of ca. 50 mA h g-1 at a rate of 0.1C in both potential windows of 2.8-4.2 V and 1.6-2.8 V. Furthermore, when applied as anode material for rechargeable NIBs, Na3Co0.5Mn0.5Ti(PO4)3 can exhibit an impressive cycling stability with capacity retention of 94% exceeding 550 cycles at a rate of 0.2C. In addition, deriving from Na3Co0.5Mn0.5Ti(PO4)3 as simple active material, we construct a symmetric NIB with an average operation voltage of 1.5 V and a specific energy of about 30 W h kg-1.
