The phase instability in layered-structure Na0.5WO3.25induced by the extraction of Na ions was investigated by applying transmission electron microscopy. Real-time atomic-scale observation reveals the phase transition pathway: Na0.5WO3.25(triclinic) → NaxWO3(cubic) → WO3(monoclinic) with specific orientation relationships. The dynamic evolution of Na0.5WO3.25/NaxWO3phase boundaries shows that Na0.5WO3.25will cleave along the (100)Tand (010)Tand recrystallize as (101)Cand (010)Cof NaxWO3, respectively. The phase transition pathway can be well-explained according to the structural characteristics in the three phases. By better understanding of the phase instability induced by the extraction of Na ions in possible layered-structure cathode materials, this work provides a reference for the design of sophisticated strategies toward high-performance Na-ion batteries.
