Substitution of Sr into the Na Layer Elevates the High Voltage Stability of O3‐Type NaCrO2 as Sodium‐Ion Battery Cathode by Gwangeon Oh, Yunjae Oh, Shivam Kansara, Heesung Shin, Hyokyeong Kang, Tae‐Hoon Kim, Dominic Bresser, Jang‐Yeon Hwang

“…Sr2+ possesses similar physicochemical characteristics to that of Na+; hence, Sr2+ can preferentially occupy the NaO6 octahedral sites in O3‐NCO, with one Sr2+ ion replacing two Na+ ions. The introduction of Sr2+ generates sodium vacancies in the Na+ layer to compensate for charge neutrality, which facilitates the Na+ diffusion kinetics. …”
