摘要
We report a detailed study of de-intercalation of Na from the compound NaxCoO2-delta using an electrochemical technique. We find evidence for stable phases with Na contents near the fractions x similar or equal to 1/3, 1/2, 5/8, 2/3, and 3/4. Details regarding the floating-zone crystal growth of Na0.75CoO2 single crystals are discussed as well as results from magnetic susceptibility measurements. We observe the presence of significant oxygen deficiencies in powder samples of Na0.75CoO2-delta prepared in air, but not in single crystal samples prepared in an oxygen atmosphere. The oxygen deficiencies in a Na0.75CoO2-delta sample with delta similar to 0.08 remain even after electrochemically de-intercalating to Na0.3CoO2-delta. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
