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.

K 2 TiYb(PO 4 ) 3 microcrystals with langbeinite structure have been prepared for the first time by solid state reaction. Pure K 2 TiYb(PO 4 ) 3 sample with size of 10–20 µm was obtained when the calcination temperature was 1000 °C. The microstructure and performance of the microcrystals are studied by using X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), FTIR and Raman spectra , UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and upconversion photoluminescence spectra. The electronic structure analysis by XPS shows that K 2 TiYb(PO 4 ) 3 has the stronger Ti-O ionic band and weaker P-O covalent band than KTiOPO 4 . The absorption peaks at 911 and 975 nm are assigned to the transition of Yb 3+ from 2 F 7/2 (0) to 2 F 5/2 (2′) and 2 F 5/2 (0′) levels, respectively. Under the excitation of 980 nm laser, K 2 TiYb(PO 4 ) 3 produces polychromatic luminescence: strong blue emission at 480 nm and weak red emission at 653 nm, and the corresponding lifetimes are 268.6 and 275.1 μs, respectively. The strong blue emission is assigned to the cooperative luminescence between Yb 3+ -Yb 3+ pairs, and the red emission is related to defects in the samples. All the CIE color coordinates for the langbeinite-type compounds are located in the blue region, which shows their great potential as blue upconversion photoluminescence materials.

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.

Sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) structured polyanionic materials have recently attracted great attention for robust crystal structures. However, inherent properties of NASICON presents poor electrical conductivity and low energy density. Herein, non-stoichiometric synthesized strategy is used for acquiring N 3.5 MTP, effectively suppressing voltage hysteresis. Besides, as-fabricated N 3.5 MTP grains in-situ grow on MXene-rGO aerogels by sol–gel synthesis approach obtaining N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO. MXene-rGO aerogel as an excellent conductive matrix can effectively avoid agglomeration of Na 3.5 MnTi(PO 4 ) 3 particles and alleviate volume change of the lattice during sodium ion intercalation/deintercalation. Moreover, cross-linked network of N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO provides fast electron transfer and ion transport rates. The above synergistic effect and contribution of pseudocapacitance make it an excellent discharge capacity of 189 mA h g −1 at 50 mA g −1 for N 3.5 MTP@MXene-rGO, long cycles of 5000 cycles, as well as 98 mA g −1 at −30 °C (50 mA g −1 ). Prospectively, this study provides an effective strategy for improving electrochemical performance of NASICON-type cathode for sodium batteries.

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.

With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the recovery or extraction of lithium from different resources is currently a global research hotspot. In this work, Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 was used as the active component for electrochemical extraction of lithium from aqueous solutions. The results showed that although Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 exhibited the reversible de-intercalation/intercalation of Li + , it suffered from severe irreversible dissolution loss in aqueous solutions. This problem was successfully solved by titanium doping. The experiments and DFT calculations showed that when the V(2)-site vanadium in Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 was replaced by titanium, the resulting material exhibited superhigh cycle stability and lithium extraction rate. After ten cycles of de-intercalation/intercalation, the extraction capacity still reached 11.5 mg·g −1 , and the attenuation was within the error range. Particularly, because of the decrease of the band gap after doping, the electronic conductivity of the material was significantly improved, and the equilibrium time for lithium extraction was within only 5 min, which was more than 10 times faster than that of the conventional LiFePO 4 and Li 2 MnO 4 materials. This work provides a new solution for the green, efficient, and highly stable extraction of lithium from liquid lithium resources.

Na super-ion conductor type material Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 has been widely researched as the cathode of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in recent years, but the unsatisfying cost of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 impedes its wide application in SIBs. In this study, iron element is used to replace part of vanadium in Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 to reduce its expense, and pine pollen is applied for the first time as a very effective carbon source to improve the performance of Na 4 FeV(PO 4 ) 3 . The fabricated composite material achieves a capacity of 105 mA h g −1 under 0.2 C and fascinating cycling stability over 94 % under 2 C for 500 cycles and 98 % under 10 C for 1000 cycles. The excellent cycle performance is caused by the involvement of pine pollen that acts as a carbon matrix to enhance the electron conductivity and block the agglomeration of active material effectively, thus the well-dispersed nano sized Na 4 FeV(PO 4 ) 3 shortens the diffusion path of sodium ion and gains a remarkable rate capability. Moreover, the distinguished reversibility during the charge and discharge procedures is ascribed also to the robust structure of Na 4 FeV(PO 4 ) 3 . This work provides an efficient route to realize the economic cathode material of SIBs with good performance.

Pristine Na 3 Fe 0.5 V 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 and carbon-coated Na 3 Fe 0.5 V 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 nano-particles are synthesized by one-step solid-phase reaction method. The full battery based on Na 3 Fe 0.5 V 1.5 (PO 4 ) 3 @C nano-particles as cathode and commercial hard carbon as anode outputs a high working voltage about 3.3 V and exhibits superior-rate performance. While the rate increases from 0.5 to 1, 2 and 5 C, the discharge capacity of full battery slightly decreases from 110 to 94, 88, 79 mA h g −1 gradually. Moreover, it shows excellent cycle stability with a capacity retention of 93.8% after 200 cycles at 0.5 C.

The monoclinic Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 cathode demonstrates significant promise for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) technologies, primarily due to its outstanding energy density and enhanced safety performance. However, its practical application was hindered by inherent limitations, particularly, intrinsically restricted electron mobility and pronounced capacity fading during cycling at voltages exceeding 4.6 V. To overcome these challenges, this study employs a facile sol-gel method to synthesize carbon-coated Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 materials while introducing In 3+ substitution for partial V 3+ sites. Electrochemical evaluations substantiate that the optimal In 3+ doping level of Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (LVP/C-In0.09) exhibits significantly enhanced performance. Specifically, the LVP/C-In0.09 sample delivers remarkable capability, sustaining 131.4 mAh g −1 at 10 C while maintaining 88.4 % of initial capacity after 500 cycles, surpassing the undoped LVP/C sample (initial capacity: 106.5 mAh g −1 ; retention: 75.7 %). XRD analysis indicates that incorporating In 3+ effectively broadens Li + diffusion channels. XAFS characterization reveals that the unit cell expansion is attributed to an increased V-V interatomic distance. Additionally, the controlled In 3+ doping effectively decreases the electrochemical resistance while substantially improving Li + diffusion kinetics. This study proposes a potential strategy to boost the practical application of Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 in LIBs.

Amid the fast growth of lithium-ion batteries, LiNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O 4 (LNMO) with a 4.7 V working voltage and cost advantages has gained significant attention. The instability of LNMO structure during high-voltage cycling leads to significant side reactions with the electrolyte, hindering its commercial development. Our study introduces a co-crystallization calcination strategy to enhance the optimization of LNMO. This study utilized a straightforward wet chemistry approach to combine the precursor of NASICON-type solid electrolyte Mg 0.5 Ti 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (MTP) with the precursor of LNMO. Subsequently, a MTP coating was formed in-situ on the surface of LNMO through a single-step calcination process. Co-crystallization and calcination processes limit LNMO particle secondary growth, shorten Li + diffusion path , achieve Mg 2+ and Ti 4+ co-doping, enhance structural stability , and result in triple modification, leading to a significant improvement in electrochemical performance . Among them, LNMO with a 1 % molar ratio modified by MTP reaches 81.7 % of the initial capacity after 500 cycles at room temperature and 84.3 % after 180 cycles at 55 °C. Under identical conditions, unmodified samples have 39.3 % and 76.3 %, respectively. Our research explores a novel application of NASICON-type solid electrolytes in modifying LNMO cathode material .

Delivery of high energy density in polyanion compound-Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 based on three-electron redox is still challenging because of their controversial multi-electron reaction mechanism and unsatisfactory electrochemical reversibility. Herein, the reversible V 4+ /V 5+ redox ( ca. 4.0 V) could be successfully activated in Na 4 VFe(PO 4 ) 3 cathode material through a Na-rich strategy, demonstrating a reversible specific capacity of 154.7mAh g −1 at 0.1C and 90.3mAh g −1 after 800 cycles at 20C, with 80 % of the initial capacity retained. The entire electrochemical reaction undergoes a highly recoverable phase transition by in-situ X-ray diffraction. Impressively, the Na-rich strategy could not only allow Na2 site to be occupied to activate the V 4+ /V 5+ redox pair confirmed by X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy, but also enable Na + transportation across the generated vacancies rather than synergistic Na + diffusion. This work provides rational design strategy of multi-electron transfer reaction in high-energy sodium-ion batteries.
