摘要: Rechargeable lithium batteries have ushered the wireless revolution over last two decades and are now matured to enable green automobiles. However, growing concern on scarcity large-scale applications of resources steered effort realize sustainable sodium-ion batteries, Na Fe being abundant low-cost charge carrier redox centre, respectively. their performance is limited owing low operating voltage sluggish kinetics. Here we report a hitherto-unknown material with entirely new composition structure first alluaudite-type sulphate framework, Na2Fe2(SO4)(3), registering highest-ever Fe3+/ Fe2+ potential at 3.8V (versus Na, hence 4.1V versus Li) along fast rate Rare-metal-free Na-ion rechargeable battery system compatible present Li-ion in realistic scope without sacrificing high energy density power, paves way for discovery earth-abundant cathodes batteries.
