Thesystem—a host lattice for superb thermoelectrics and parent of the watery-layer superconductor—is found to be oxygen nonstoichiometric for, such that with decreasing, the concentration of oxygen vacancies increases. Accordingly, upon Na deintercalation, the Co valence first increases but does not exceed the value of 3.5. To reveal this, the actual valence of Co was systematically determined by means of wet-chemical redox analysis for a series ofsamples with the Na contentranging from 0.78 down to 0.12. The low-Na-content samples were obtained from Na-rich onesthroughchimie douceextraction of Na utilizing,, oras an oxidizing agent. For the lowest-Na-content sample of, the oxygen nonstoichiometry parameterwas 0.23. Therelation presently established for a widerange ofis indispensable for proper interpretations of physical properties of this system.
