O3-NaFe1/2Co1/2O2 shows initial capacity of 160 mAh/g and an average operating voltage of 3.1 V (vs. Na) with good cyclability, and is a promising candidate of the cathode materials for sodium-ion secondary batteries (SIBs). Here, we found that the cyclability of the slowly-cooled sample is much worse than that of quenched one, even though the former sample keeps the O3-type structure. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) images suggest that the slow-cooled sample (Na x Fe1- yCo y O2) is inhomogeneous in the Fe concentration (1 - y), perhaps triggered by the Na deficiency (1 - x). We ascribed the poor cyclability in the slowly-cooled sample to the concentration inhomogeneity (Δ y). The Δ y is further responsible for the fluctuation of the lattice constants ( a and c), as revealed by the Williamson-Hall plot. (© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &Co.
