Unveiling the electrochemical performance of Mn2P2O7 as a conversion anode for sodium-ion battery
摘要
In this work, we report the synthesis and electrochemical characteristics of manganese pyrophosphate as an anode for sodium-ion batteries. The Mn2P2O7 is synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Structural analyses (XRD, FTIR, XPS) and morphological analyses (FESEM and HRTEM) results reveal the formation of Mn2P2O7. Mn2P2O7/Na half-cell delivers the first charge/discharge capacity of 224.8/240.2 mAh g− 1 with columbic efficiency of 93.6%. In Mn2P2O7 anodes, sodium storage proceeds by topotactic phase transformation and also preserves the pyrophosphate (P2O7) framework.
