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

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 Na3Ni2SbO6 and Na3Ni2BiO6 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.
