batteries (SIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale electric
energy storage with abundant sodium resources. However, their development
is challenged by the availability of satisfactory cathode materials
with stable framework to accommodate the transportation of large-sized
Na+ (1.02 Å), whose continuous insertion/extraction
can easily cause irreversible volumetric deformation in the crystalline
material, leading to inevitable structural failure and capacity fading.
Here, different from the previous synthesis efforts targeting at Na+ containing compounds, we unveil the possibility of achieving
a highly reversible sodiation/desodiation process by resorting to
a K+-based layered metal oxide formulated as K0.5Mn0.7Fe0.2Ti0.1O2 (KMFT),
which is a P2 type in structure with a wide interlayer spacing to
sit K+ (1.38 Å). We demonstrate that an initial K+/Na+ exchange can introduce Na+ into
the lattice while a small amount of K+ remains inside,
which plays a significant role in ensuring enlarged channels for a
fast and stable Na+ diffusion. The KMFT electrode delivers
a high initial discharge capacity of 147.1 mA h g–1 at 10 mA g–1 and outstanding long cycling stability
with capacity retention of 71.5% after 1000 cycles at 500 mA g–1. These results provide a new design strategy for
the development of stable SIBs cathodes to facilitate their future
applications.
