Structural evolution in the solid solution Na2-x+yHxTi3O7 studied by neutron diffraction

DOI

Layered Na2Ti3O7 has shown promising electrochemical performance to be used as anode material in room temperature sodium ion batteries. We have synthesized several phases in the solid solutions Na2-x(H,Li)xTi3O7 including both end members, all of them being electrochemically active. We would like to study the phases Na2-x(H,Li)xTi3O7 with neutron diffraction as well as and their chemically sodiated counterparts, in order to precisely determine Na, Li and H positions and correlate the structural differences with their different electrochemical behavior. The described protonated samples will be studied at low temperature to locate sodium ions, already pre-located with X-ray diffraction. Data will also be collected in deuterated samples equivalent to the proton containing systems in order to reduce incoherent scattering and so as to look at the proton/deuterium positions
