Sodium super-ionic conductor (NASICON) structured Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP), a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), benefits by its unique three-dimensional (3D) channel structure. However, the inherent characteristics of NVP (such as low electrical conductivity) usually lead to inferior rate and long-cycling performance, which miss the requirements of practical application in electrical energy storage systems (ESSs). Herein, we propose the synthesis of porous high-crystalline Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C nanoplates (NVP/C-P) via hydrothermal method and post-calcination. The porous nanoplate structure provides increased specific surface area and shortened diffusion pathway for ion/electron transport. Consequently, NVP/C-P cathodes exhibit a high specific capacity (117 mAh g −1 , 0.2 C), exceptional rate performance (76.5 mAh g −1 , 100 C) and long cyclic stability (10,000 cycles).

Sodium super ion conductor (NASICON) structure materials, known for fast diffusion channels for Na + , are promising solid electrolyte materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the high carbon content in the NASICON electrolyte materials originated from the carbothermal reduction (CR) reaction will cause short-circuit and self-discharge of the batteries. Herein, we developed a facile and straightforward two-stage calcining strategy to prepare Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) with high purity and crystallinity. By precisely controlling the dosage of reducing agent and heat temperature, the purity of NVP can reach 99.97%. Moreover, the NVP film was prepared by the as-synthesized pure NVP powder via fast hot-pressing sinter, whose Vickers hardness is (5.0 ± 0.4) × 10 2 HV and relative density is 99.05%. This study provides a safe and facile strategy to prepare high-purity NVP powder and high-quality NVP films, which is of great significance in exploring NVP as a solid electrolyte for SIBs.

Na3V2(PO4)3(NVP) is considered to be a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Ion doping can effectively improve its structural deformation, poor conductivity, and electrochemical performance. However, the research on the effect of ion doping on the thermal stability of NVP is still limited. In this paper, Mg/Ti co-doped and Mn/Ti co-doped modified NVP with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (MgTi@ CNTs and MnTi@CNTs) were prepared, respectively, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results proved that MgTi@CNTs and MnTi@CNTs have good structural stability and crystallinity. The electrochemical performance indicates that the dual strategy ofp-n-type co-doping and CNT coating provides superior sodium storage performance, enhancing both electronic conductivity and ion diffusion. Secondly, based on the safety point of view, the thermal stability ofp-n-type ion-doped NVP and its mixed system with electrolyte in a charged state was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and accelerated calorimeter (ARC). The results show that the optimized MgTi@CNTs and MnTi@CNTs electrodes exhibit excellent thermal stability in the absence of electrolytes, indicating their high intrinsic safety. However, it is worth noting that in the electrode/electrolyte system,p-n-type ion-doped NVP have higher reactivity with the electrolyte, and their comprehensive thermal safety is lower than that of NVP. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the thermal stability of the material and the thermal safety of its mixed system with the electrolyte. This paper provides a data basis for the practical application of NVP in SIBs.

NASICON Na3V2(PO4)3 was investigated as cathode material in hybrid ion batteries using Li as counter and LiPF6 as electrolyte. The highly efficient and homogeneous heating merits of microwave irradiation facilitates the Na3V2(PO4)3 achieving excellent crystal structure, uniform carbon coating, as well as ideal particle size. After microwave irradiation, a specific capacity of 96.5 mAh g−1 is obtained for the first intercalation of lithium ion into Na3V2(PO4)3 at 0.1 C rate. For long-term cycling stability, the capacity retention reaches 84.4% at 5 C rate after 500 cycles. The unique intercalation/extraction characteristic promises Na3V2(PO4)3 an ideal candidate material for next-generation hybrid ion storage system.

A series of lanthanum-doped Na3V2−xLax(PO4)3/C (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.03) composites have been fabricated via a simple sol–gel approach. The influences of La3+ substitution on the structure, morphology and electrochemical properties are systematically studied. Rietveld refinement is applied to explore the actual substitution site of La, which proves that La3+ ions successfully occupy the octahedral V sites. It is suggested that appropriate La doping will reduce the particle size and enhance the reversible capacity and rate capability. Among all the samples, the as-prepared Na3V1.99La0.01(PO4)3/C compound shows the highest electrochemical capability. It delivers a high initial specific capacity of 111.3 mA h g−1 at 0.2C and maintains a capacity of 108.1 mA h g−1 over 100 cycles, exhibiting much better electrochemical performance than the original Na3V2(PO4)3/C. In addition, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) experiments suggest that low-level La doping can greatly decrease the polarization and increase electrical conductivity with fast reaction kinetics and a higher Na+ diffusion coefficient. The study presented here will provide considerable insights into rare earth element-doping tactics, which will facilitate the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries.

Although the NASICON-type of Na3V2(PO4)3 is regarded as a potential cathode candidate for advanced sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), it has an undesirable rate performance and low cyclability, which are a result of its poor electronic conductivity. Here, we utilized conductive polyaniline (PANI) grown in situ to obtain the hard carbon-coated porous Na3V2(PO4)3@C composite (NVP@C@HC) with a typically simple and effective sol–gel process. Based on the restriction of double carbon layers, the NVP size decreases distinctly, which can curtail the sodium-ion diffusion distance and enhance the electronic conductivity. As expected, the product displays good discharge capacity (111.6 mA h g–1 at 1 C), outstanding rate capacity (60.4 mA h g–1 at 50 C), and remarkable cycling stability (63.3 mA h g–1 with a retention of 83.3% at 40 C over 3000 cycles). Also, it performs a long-term cycling capacity of 58.5 mA h g–1 exceeding 15 000 cycles at 20 C (with a capacity loss of 0.24% per cycle).

NASICON-type Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is a promising electrode material for developing advanced sodium-ion batteries. Preparing Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 with good performance by a cost-effective and large-scale method is significant for industrial applications. In this work, a porous Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C cathode material with excellent electrochemical performance is successfully prepared by an agar-gel combined with freeze-drying method. The Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C cathode displayed specific capacities of 113.4 mAh·g −1 , 107.0 mAh·g −1 and 87.1 mAh·g −1 at 0.1 C, 1 C and 10 C, respectively. For the first time, the 500-mAh soft-packed symmetrical sodium-ion batteries based on Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C electrodes are successfully fabricated. The 500-mAh symmetrical batteries exhibit outstanding low temperature performance with a capacity retention of 83% at 0 °C owing to the rapid sodium ion migration ability and structural stability of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C. Moreover, the thermal runaway features are revealed by accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC) test for the first time. Thermal stability and safety of the symmetrical batteries are demonstrated to be better than lithium-ion batteries and some reported sodium-ion batteries. Our work makes it clear that the soft-packed symmetrical sodium ion batteries based on Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C have a prospect of practical application in high safety requirement fields.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 with NASICON structure is regarded as a hopeful cathode in sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). Nevertheless, the immanently inferior electronic conductivity significantly restricts its electrochemical performance and practical application. In this work, a facile solid-state sintering approach employing citric acid as both the reduction agent and carbon source has been developed to prepared Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C composite. The influence of different sintering temperatures on the structure, morphology, and electrochemical performance of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C for NIBs was systematically investigated. The results indicate that the Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C sample calcined at 850 °C (NVP/C-850) presents the best electrochemical property among the as-obtained four NVP/C samples studied. The optimized NVP/C-850 composite exhibits a reversible capacity of 117.4 mAh/g at 0.2 C, and after 100 cycles, capacity retention of 94.7% was kept. Besides, among the four electrodes, NVP/C-850 electrode exhibited smallest resistance and highest Na + diffusion coefficient. Thus, the outstanding results demonstrate potential application of the NVP/C for NIBs.

Lithium-sulfur batteries present a promising potential in meeting the demand of high energy and low-cost energy storage system. However, it suffers from the severe shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides and sluggish sulfur chemistry kinetics. Herein, NASICON-type ceramic material Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is developed to decorate on polypropylene (PP) membrane as a catalysis layer to adsorb lithium polysulfides and accelerate the conversion of sulfur electrochemistry redox reaction. Meanwhile, the sophisticated architecture on separator provides additional lithium ion intercalaction-extraction behavior, which helps to hamper the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides. The collaborative contribution of above virtues endows the Li–S batteries with excellent capacitive performance of 1045.3 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C current density, superior rate capability (590.4 mA h g −1 ) at 4 C although the cycling stability over 400 cycles at 4C is still needed to improve. This work offers an elaborate ceramic coating layer engineering on separator to act as an electro-catalyst role to improve the conversion reversibility and kinetics in lithium sulfur battery with high-energy.

We report a low-cost hydrogel electrolyte by adding 3 wt% poly(acrylate sodium) (PAAS) into 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous electrolyte, which achieves a widened electrochemical stability window (ESW) of 2.45 V on stainless steel current collector from 2.12 V in 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous electrolytes (AE). Moreover, the H2 evolution potential reaches −1.75 V vs. Ag/AgCl on titanium current collector. The results reveal that the polymer network structure of PAAS has the ability to interact with water molecules and thus the hydrogen evolution reaction can be limited effectively, which broadens the ESW of aqueous electrolyte and allows the reversible Na-ion intercalation/deintercalation of Na3V2(PO4)3 as an anode material in aqueous electrolyte reported for the first time.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 has been widely studied due to its stable three-dimensional transmission channel structure as a cathode electrode of sodium ion batteries , but its micro particle size and low intrinsic electronic conductivity limit its further development. Therefore, hierarchical porous micro-nano NVP/C materials were successfully prepared using a metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) precursor. Because of the unique hierarchical porous micro-nano structure, 3D highly conductive network between surface and particles, and high specific surface area, M-NVP/C exhibits outstanding rate capability (95.0 mAh g −1 at a current density of 10 C) and extraordinary stable cycle life (the capacity decays from 111.2 mAh g −1 to 108.8 mAh g −1 after 500 cycles at 1 C, with a capacity retention rate of 97.8 %). This method provides a promising pathway for the application of MOFs in battery materials and promotes the development of SIBs in large-scale energy storage systems.

Graphical Balancing act : Boron-doped Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is synthesized through a facile electrospinning method. NVP@carbon with a balanced content of BCO 2 and BC 2 O exhibits the best sodium storage properties. BC 2 O mainly improves the sodium diffusion and BCO 2 enhances the structural stability. Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) is a widely studied cathode material for sodium-ion batteries because of its high ionic conductivity and attractive charge/discharge plateau (3.4 V vs. Na/Na + ). However, its poor electronic conductivity and severe volume expansion during sodium storage need to be addressed before its intensive application could be realized. Herein, boron-doped NVP was synthesized through a facile electrospinning method. By adding boric acid into the reaction mixture during electrospinning followed by carbonization, boron could be directly inserted into the carbon matrix, giving rise to B-doped carbon nanofiber wrapped NVP. By tuning the doping amount, the boron-containing configurations could be facilely manipulated, playing different roles in promoting the sodium storage properties of the composite. Based on the calculation results, BC 2 O enhanced sodium diffusion by lowering the energy barrier, while BCO 2 improved the structural stability. Due to these specific functionalities of the configurations, the as-prepared composite with a balanced amount of BC 2 O and BCO 2 demonstrated superior sodium storage capacity of 113 mAh g −1 at 1 C, outstanding long cycling performance of 103 mAh g −1 at 10 C, and retained 91 mAh g −1 after 1500 cycles. This gave rise to a capacity loss of only 0.08‰ per cycle, much better than the undoped counterpart.
