However, Mn-based-layered materials (P2-type Na-poor Na-y[A(x)Mn(1-x)]O-2, where A = alkali ions) still suffer from poor reversibility during oxygen-redox reactions and low conductivity. In this work, the dual Li and Co replacement is investigated in P2-type-layered NaxMnO2. Experimentally and theoretically, it is demonstrated that the efficacy of the dual Li and Co replacement in Na-0.6[Li0.15Co0.15Mn0.7]O-2 is that it improves the structural and cycling stability despite the reversible Li migration from the transition metal layer during de-/sodiation. Operando X-ray diffraction and ex situ neutron diffraction analysis prove that the material maintains a P2-type structure during the entire range of Na+ extraction and insertion with a small volume change of approximate to 4.3%. In Na-0.6[Li0.15Co0.15Mn0.7]O-2, the reversible electrochemical activity of Co3+/Co4+, Mn3+/Mn4+, and O2-/(O-2)(n-) redox is identified as a reliable mechanism for the remarkable stable electrochemical performance. From a broader perspective, this work highlights a possible design roadmap for developing cathode materials with optimized cationic and anionic activities and excellent structural stabilities for SIBs.
