Mn-based P2-type oxides are considered as promising cathodes for Na-ion batteries; however, they face significant challenges, including structural degradation when charged at high cutoff voltages and structural changes upon storing in a humid atmosphere. In response to these issues, we have designed an oxide with co-doping of Cu and Al which can balance both cost and structural stability. The redox reaction of Cu^2+/3+ can provide certain charge compensation, and the introduction of Al can further suppress the Jahn-Teller effect of Mn, thereby achieving superior long-term cycling performance. The ex-situ XRD testing indicates that Cu/Al co-doping can effectively suppress the phase transition of P2-O2 at high voltage, thereby explaining the improvement in electrochemical performance. DFT calculations reveal a high chemical tolerance to moisture, with lower adsorption energy for H₂O compared to pure Na_0.67Cu_0.25Mn_0.75O₂. A representative Na_0.67Cu_0.20Al_0.05Mn_0.75O₂ cathode demonstrates impressive reversible capacities of 148.7 mAh/g at 0.2 C, along with a remarkable capacity retention of 79.1% (2 C, 500 cycles).
