Rich elements.
However, it is rarely noted that the interface of the layered cathode is always affected by atmospheric and electrical corrosion, resulting in a serious decline in electrical performance.
Here, we present an environment-stable interface through the surface concentration of titanium, which not only overcomes the above limitations, but also demonstrates unique surface chemical/electro-chemical properties.
The results show that the atom-

Scale of energy storage system (ESS)
The smooth integration of renewable resources such as wind energy and solar energy into the grid is the key.
Among them, the electro-chemical method is considered as an intelligent choice, which effectively improves the reliability and utilization rate of the power grid.
Application cost, service life and efficiency should be the main focus of fixed batteries compared to power batteries.
In the past few decades, lithiumion batteries (LIBs)
This leads to a shortage of lithium resources and expensive costs.
In contrast, sodium is one of the most abundant elements on Earth.
The abundant reserves of sodium and the mechanism of insertion make sodiumion batteries (SIBs)
Ideal alternative for large LIBs
Scale applications.
Recently, a lot of efforts have been made in the development of cathode materials for SIBs, such as layered oxides, multi-ionic compounds and Prussian-blue analogs.

Oxide-based SIBs are very promising cathode candidates and it is also possible to compete with LiCoO, I. e.
The most widely used system in LIBs.
Some main problems in layered manganesebased oxides: (1)
Due to the fragility of the layered Na-time interface, water or carbon dioxide can be easily inserted into the mezzanine
The oxide contained is exposed to the air. (2)
Chemical Activity Mn (III)
Related to it:2Mn→Mn+Mn)
Causes the Mn to dissolve from the cathode/electrolyte interface. (3)
The above two phenomena lead to serious degradation of the layered structure and rapid decline of reversible capacity.
Here we go through Ti-enrichment-

The scale thickness shows a unique crystal and electronic structure that not only results in higher electronic and ionic conductivity, but also results in chemical/electro/thermal stability of the layered material.
In contrast, layered NaMnO (NM)

When exposed to air, the impedance increases with the circulation in the cell.
Therefore, the NMTN electrode has a high reversible capacity, excellent rate capability and excellent cycle capability, which indicates that this material is a very promising candidate for the SIBs cathode material.
This simple strategy will contribute to the development of the room
