Recent Progress on Honeycomb Layered Oxides as a Durable Cathode Material for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are becoming promising candidates for energy storage devices due to the low cost, abundant reserves, and excellent electrochemical performance. As the most important unit, layered cathodes attract much attention, where honeycomb‐layered‐oxides (HLOs) manifest outstanding structural stability, high redox potential, and long‐life electrochemistry. Here, recent progress on HLOs as well as Na 3 Ni 2 SbO 6 and Na 3 Ni 2 BiO 6 as two representative materials are introduced, and the crystal and electronic structure, electrochemical performance, and modification strategies are summarized. The advanced high nickel HLOs are highlighted toward development of state‐of‐the‐art sodium‐ion batteries. This review would deepen the understanding of superstructure in layered oxides, as well as structure–property relationship, and inspire more interest in high output voltage, long lifespan sodium‐ion batteries.
