We investigate the orthorhombic Na 0.67 [Ni x Mn 1− x ]O 2 ( x = 0 and 0.05) cathode materials that provide high capacity for prolonged cycles. X-ray absorption studies revealed that the redox activity of the Mn 3+/4+ and Ni 2+/3+ pairs is effective in suppressing the Jahn-Teller effect of Mn 3+ ion...
