Popis: | Alluaudite sodium iron sulfate Na2+2xFe2–x(SO4)3 is one of the most promising candidates for a Na-ion battery cathode material with earth-abundant elements; it exhibits the highest potential among any Fe3+/Fe2+ redox reactions (3.8 V vs Na/Na+), good cycle performance, and high rate capability. However, the reaction mechanism during electrochemical charging/discharging processes is still not understood. Here, we surveyed the intercalation mechanism via synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Throughout charging/discharging processes, the structure undergoes a reversible, single-phase (solid solution) reaction based on a Fe3+/Fe2+ redox reaction with a small volume change of ca. 3.5% after an initial structural rearrangement upon the first charging process, where a small amount of Fe irreversibly migrates from the original site to a Na site.
