Abstract: Layered structure Na(Ni0.5Mn0.5)O2 oxide was synthesized using CH3COONa, Ni(CH3COO)2·4H2O and Mn (CH3COO)2·4H2O as starting materials after dissolution, drying and calcining. The crystal structure, morphology of the prepared sample was investigated by XRD and SEM. There was small amount of NiO phase in the product, and the product is of layered structure. Their particles were less than 5μm and there was particle aggregation. The charge-discharge testes for the samples were also carried out. The prepared sample exhibited good rate capability. It delivered a capacity of 124,121,116.7,110.6 and 73.8mA·h/g at 0.1,0.2,0.5,1 and 5 rate,respectively. After 30 cycles, its capacity retention ratio was 94.8% at 25℃ and 91.1% at 55℃. It can be used as cathode material for sodium ion batteries.
