A novel electrode material, P3-type K0.33Co0.53Mn0.47O2·0.39H2O (KCM), is synthesized through an easily-operated sol–gel method and it delivers considerable Na ion storage abilities when employed as both a cathode and an anode in NIBs. As a cathode, the compound displays remarkable average voltage p...
