Abstract

The calcium ferrite type structure of Na0.875Fe0.875Ti1.125O4[1] has double tunnels which are occupied by double rows of sodium atoms running along the b-axis. We have partially removed sodium from this compound at moderate temperatures with different oxidizing agents. Electrochemical studies show that the resulting materials, Na0.875Fe0.875Ti1.125O4 (0 ≤ δ ≤ 0.4), can reversibly intercalate lithium at potentials between 3.8 and 1 volt. At the lowest voltages, a compound containing ∼ 0.5 lithium per formula is formed. By chemical reaction of Na0.875Fe0.875Ti1.125O4 with n-butyllithium, the maximum lithium content also corresponds to Li0.5Na0.875Fe0.875Ti1.125O4. This suggests that many more than the one eighth of the empty sodium sites, per unit cell, of the parent phase are now being occupied by lithium.
