Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain. ACS cannot be held responsible for errors or consequences arising from the use of information contained in these “Just Accepted” manuscripts.

Abstract Layered oxides based on abundant elements have been extensively studied as cathodes of sodium-ion batteries. Among them, Birnessite-type sodium manganese oxide containing lattice water meets the low-cost and high-performance requirement for stationary batteries. Herein, we for the first time present the controllable states of lattice water via adjusting the cut-off voltages, effectively enhancing the reversible capacity, cycling stability and rate ability of the materials. The current investigation not only highlights the significance of intercalated lattice water for reversible Na-(de)insertion of Birnessite as well as other similar compounds, but also opens up new opportunities for advanced cathode materials for sodium storage.

Introduction Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the essential to the development of portable electronic devices such as smart phone, laptop and the (hybrid) electric vehicles.1 Moreover, they have been integrated into large-scale energy storage system (LESS) for the renewable and clean energy sources such as wind and solar. However, considering the increasing market of the portable electronic devices and the limited availability of lithium, the growing price of LIBs makes them less suitable for the application of LESS. Recently, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted lots of attention due to the advantages of natural abundance of sodium and low cost.2-5 Meanwhile, sodium owns the similar chemical properties with lithium, which leads to the identical fundamental principles of SIBs and LIBs. Thus SIBs are considered as a smart and promising choice for the LESS and exploring capable electrode materials become the key issue of the development of the SIBs.6 So far, transition metal oxides NaxMeO2 (0
