| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A Sodium ion battery (SIB) is one of the candidates as alternative of a lithium ion battery (LIB) due to the abundance of sodium resources. In this study, we challenged to develop a high capacity positive electrode material for SIB comparable to that of LIB. Positive electrode active materials for the rechargeable sodium ion battery are in-situ synthesized during initial charge process in an electrochemical cell from precursor composites of Na and Mn oxides. By this approach, we directly synthesized a high capacity sodium-rich manganese oxide material for the first time, which have only been prepared by ion-exchange method so far. In addition, its initial gravimetric energy density, 550 Wh/kg, is comparable to that of a conventional material for LIB.
