Na-ion batteries were tested with layered Na(Ni1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3)O-2 cathodes and carbon anodes in a sodium-salt containing organic ester carbonate electrolyte. Layered single phase Na(Ni1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3)O-2 was synthesized from solid-state reaction using a (Ni1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3)C2O4 oxalate precursor and Na2CO3 fired at 850 degrees C with slow-cooling. The Na-ion NayC/Na1-y(Ni1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3)O-2 cell had an average voltage of similar to 2.75 V. modest capacity of 100 mA h g(-1) for 150 cycles (1.5-4.0 V), and a capacity of 94 tnA h g(-1) at a 1 degrees C rate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data of extracted cycled electrodes were used to characterize material stability and phases formed upon cycling. It was found that Na1-y(Ni1/3Fe1/3Mn1/3)O-2 (0 <= y <= 0.46) maintains a layered structure with good crystallinity over 150 cycles. These results bode well for the development and optimization of rechargeable Na-ion batteries. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
