The implementation of aqueous electrode processing of cathode materials is a key for the development of greener Na-ion batteries. Herein, the development and optimization of the aqueous electrode processing for the ecofriendly Na0.44MnO2(NMO) cathode material, employing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as binder, are reported for the first time. The characterization of such an electrode reveals that the performances are strongly affected by the employed electrolyte solution, especially, the sodium salt and the use of electrolyte’s additives. In particular, the best results are obtained using the 1 M solution of NaPF6in EC/DEC (ethylene carbonate/diethyl carbonate) 3:7 (v/v) + 2 wt % FEC (fluoroethylene carbonate). With this electrolyte, the outstanding capacity of 99.7 mA h g–1is delivered by the CMC–NMO cathode after 800 cycles at a 1C charge/discharge rate. On the basis of this excellent long-term performance, a full sodium cell, composed of a CMC-based NMO cathode and hard carbon from biowaste (corn cob), has been assembled and tested. The cell delivers excellent performances in terms of specific capacity, capacity retention, and long-term cycling stability. After 75 cycles at a C/5 rate, the capacity of the NMO in the full-cell approaches 109 mA h g–1with a Coulombic efficiency of 99.9%. |
