NFM Sodium Manganese Ferrate [Na₂⁄₃(Fe₁⁄₂Mn₁⁄₂)O₂]

Overview

NFM Cathode Active Material (Na₂/₃Fe₁/₂Mn₁/₂O₂) Powder is a layered sodium manganese–iron oxide designed for next-generation sodium-ion battery research. This material adopts a layered oxide crystal structure that enables reversible sodium-ion intercalation and de-intercalation during charge–discharge cycling. The mixed Fe/Mn redox chemistry contributes to stable electrochemical behaviour, moderate operating voltage, and enhanced structural robustness compared with single-metal oxides.

Key Material Features and Specifications

• Layered sodium transition-metal oxide structure optimised for Na⁺ transport
• Balanced Fe³⁺/Fe⁴⁺ and Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ redox couples for stable cycling
• High phase purity with impurity levels controlled at unit-ppm scale
• Micron-scale particle morphology suitable for electrode slurry processing
• Compatible with conventional sodium-ion battery electrolytes and binders

The controlled stoichiometry and impurity profile support reproducible electrochemical performance and reliable comparison across research studies.

Compatibility and Research Integration

This cathode material is well suited for use with standard laboratory battery fabrication workflows, including coin cells, pouch cells, and custom electrochemical test cells. It is fully compatible with potentiostats, battery cyclers, and in-situ or operando characterisation platforms such as XRD, Raman spectroelectrochemistry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy systems supplied by ScienceGears.

Typical Applications

• Sodium-ion battery cathode development
• Fundamental electrochemical and materials research
• Structure–property relationship studies
