Abstract

The Na₂MnPO₄F is one of the promising cathode materials for the sodium ion batteries. In the paper, we employed the ex situ X-ray diffraction and solid state NMR techniques to study the charge and discharge processes of this material, including the crystal structure and sodium sites changes. The ex situ x-ray diffraction patterns showed that two new diffraction peaks could be observed at 31^o and 36^o indicating an intermediate phase formed with the extraction of Na+. From the ²³Na MAS NMR spectrum of the material, three peaks were seen at -209 ppm，-258 ppm and -295 ppm, which can be assigned to Na1 + Na2, Na3 and Na4 sites in the crystal structure, respectively. The ex situ solid state NMR study demonstrated that the Na+ in Na1 and Na2 sites deintercalated firstly compared to Na3 and Na4 sites. The signal peaks of intermediate phase appeared at -132 ppm and -330 ppm when charging to 4.2 V. The opposite phenomenon occurred during the discharge process.
