RESUMO
O3-type Fe/Mn-based layered oxide cathode materials with abundant reserves have a promising prospect in sodium-ion batteries. However, the electrochemical reversibility of most O3-type Fe/Mn-based oxide cathode materials is still not high enough. Herein, the effect of different Cu contents on the electrochemical properties of O3-NaFe0.50 Mn0.50 O2 materials is systematically investigated. The as-prepared NaFe0.30 Mn0.50 Cu0.20 O2 cathode achieves the synergistic optimization of the interface and bulk phase. It shows superior electrochemical performance, with an initial discharge specific capacity of 114â mAh g-1 at 0.1â C, a capacity retention rate of 94 % after 100â cycles at 0.5â C, and excellent chemical stability in air and water. In addition, the sodium ion full battery based on NaFe0.30 Mn0.50 Cu0.20 O2 cathode and hard carbon anode has a capacity retention rate of 81 % after 100â cycles. This research provides a useful approach for the preparation of low-cost and high-performance O3-type layered cathode materials.
RESUMO
A chiral phosphine oxide-ligated Ni-Al bimetallic catalyst was used to realize an enantioselective C2-H alkylation of pyridines without the need of a C2-block. A wide range of pyridines, including unsubstituted pyridine, C3, C4, and C2-substituted pyridines, and even complex pyridine-containing bioactive molecules are well compatible with the reaction, providing up to 81% yield and up to 97% ee.
