Lithium-excess oxides Li1.2Ti0.4Mn0.4O2 and Li1.3Nb0.3Mn0.4O2 with a disordered rock-salt structure and Mn3+/Mn4+ as a redox couple were compared to analyze the effect of different d0 metal ions on the local structure and Li+ ion migration.

The mixed sodium-iron ortho-pyrophosphate Na4Fe3(PO4)2P2O7 (NFPP) is a promising Na-containing cathode material with the highest operating voltage among sodium framework structured materials. It operates both in Na and Li electrochemical cells. When cycled in a hybrid Li/Na cell, a competitive co-intercalation of the Li+ and Na+ ions occurs at the cathode side. The present study shows that this process can be tuned by changing the concentration of the Na+ ions in the mixed Li+/Na+-ion electrolyte and current density. It is shown that if the Na concentration in the electrolyte increases, the specific capacity of NFPP also increases and its high-rate capability is significantly improved.
