cathode at open circuit and after 100 cycles, respectively, and the growth trends of the charge transfer resistance and the interface resistance are obviously slowed down, which is proved that the cycling stability of the pristine cathode is significantly improved by Mo doping. The main reasons are as follows: (1) Mo doping expands the

-axis and shortens the TM–O bond, which enhances the structural stability of the P2-type oxide; (2) Mo doping increases the crystallinity of the pristine and decreases the degree of cation disorder in the P2-type oxide; (3) the bond energy of Mo–O is stronger than that of Mn–O and Co–O, resulting in a more stable structure of the material. The results provide a meaningful reference for improving the cycle stability and kinetic performance of P2-type cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. |
