Abstract
We introduce cation Mn vacancies on the surface of Mn-based PBAs (NMF) on the basis of a strong chelating effect. The strong chelation between Na2EDTA and Mn atoms enables Na2EDTA to remove the Mn atoms from the crystal lattice of NMF. The Mn vacancies restrain the movement of Mn−N bonds and thereby mitigate the Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn−N6 octahedra, leading to highly reversible phase transitions of NMF from monoclinic to cubic and tetragonal phase and a stable electrochemical performance of SIBs.
