Sodium ion batteries are an attractive alternative to lithium ion batteries thatalleviate problems with lithiumavailability and cost. Sodium is a cheap, non-toxic and abundant element that is uniformly distributed around the world andtherefore would be ideal as a transporting ion for alternative rechargeable batteries. Despite several studies of cathodematerials for sodium ion batteries involving layered oxide materials, there are few low-voltage metal oxide cathodecapableof operating sodium ion reversibly at room temperature. The P2typeNa2/3[Ni1/3Mn2/3]O2 is a high-voltage cathodematerial for Na-ion batteries with a theoretical capacity of173mAh/gandalong operation voltage plateau of 4.2V. In thisstudy, Sodium deficient nickel–manganese oxides Na2/3[Ni1/3Mn2/3]O2were prepared from acetate precursors. We firstsynthesize and characterize some properties of the P2 type Na2/3[Ni1/3Mn2/3]O2 cathode material by conventional solid statemethod by different calcination temperature. Hereby, theX-ray diffractionanalysis exhibits the purity of the crystallinestructure and the infrared spectra were recorded on Fourier Transform Spectrometer in the mid–infrared region (MIR)within the range (400-4500 cm-1).IR absorption of the functional groups may vary over a wide range.
