Na2FeP2O7: A Safe Cathode for Rechargeable Sodium-ion Batteries
Published 2013Vying for newer sodium-ion chemistry for rechargeable batteries, Na2FeP2O7 pyrophosphate has been recently unveiled as a 3 V high-rate cathode. In addition to its low cost and promising electrochemical performance, here ...Open AccessArticle -
Alkali metal modified P2 NaxMnO2: Crystal structure and application in sodium-ion batteries
Published 2020Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are an emerging alternative to lithium-ion batteries because of abundant sodium re-sources and the potentially lower cost. Here we report the Na0.7MnO2 solid-state synthesized at 1000 oC which ...Open AccessArticle -
Crystal structure and monoclinic distortion of glaserite-type Ba3MnSi2O8
Published 2018Crystal structure and magnetic properties of glaserite-type Ba3MnSi2O8 were investigated using variable temperature neutron powder diffraction and magnetometry. At room temperature the composition is hexagonal and the ...Open AccessArticle -
A New n = 4 Layered Ruddlesden–Popper Phase K2.5Bi2.5Ti4O13 Showing Stoichiometric Hydration
Published 2016A new highly ordered Bi-containing layered perovskite of the Ruddlesden-Popper phase, K2.5Bi2.5Ti4O13, has been prepared by solid state synthesis. It has been shown to hydrate to form stoichiometric K2.5Bi2.5Ti4O13 · H2O. ...Open AccessArticle -
YCa3(CrO)3(BO3)4: a Cr3+ kagomé lattice compound showing no magnetic order down to 2 K
Published 2016We report a new gaudefroyite-type compound YCa3(CrO)3(BO3)4, in which Cr3+ ions (3d3, S = 3/2) form an undistorted kagomé lattice. Using a flux agent, the synthesis was significantly accelerated with the typical calcining ...Open AccessArticle
