The high-voltage cathode material based on the sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON) structured Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) has been found to be a potential candidate for Mg storage. In this work, to improve its electrochemical performance, we construct honeycomb-like structured NVP/C/G with faster electronic and ionic transport by a convenient and universal spray-drying method for the first time. After electrochemically desodiating two Na from the NVP/C/G (ED-NVP/C/G), the ED-NVP/C/G is tested in highly anhydrous Mg electrolyte, and the insights into its Mg storage property and mechanism are carefully studied. An initial capacity of 87 mAh g −1 with a relatively high average discharge voltage of 2.47 V vs. Mg 2+ /Mg is obtained at 0.1 C. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the inserted Mg 2+ ions tend to occupy the Na2 (at 18e sites) vacant sites. The investigation of kinetic process by galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) reveals that the Mg diffusion kinetics is faster during the demagnesiation process. The electrochemical reaction bases on two-phase transition mechanism, and the R ct value shows a positive relationship to the formation of NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase. Finally, a Mg full cell prototype based on the ED-NVP/C/G cathode with Mg metal anode is built. The rational structure design of NVP/C/G improves the electrochemical performance for Mg storage, and our work also gives new understanding into the Mg storage mechanism in the ED-NVP/C/G structure.

Na3V2(PO4)3 has garnered significant attention as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its excellent ionic conductivity and robust structural stability. However, its further large-scale practical application has been hindered by its low electrical conductivity and poor interface kinetics. Therefore, it is reported in this study that the discharging/charging cycling and rate performance of Na3V2(PO4)3 cathodes are dramatically improved by the uniformly formed 3D carbon networks. Evidently, the Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode material prepared under the optimized conditions exhibited a relatively high initial capacity of 109.30 mAh/g at 0.1C with an initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 99% and achieved an appreciable capacity of 99.42 mAh/g with a capacity retention of 96.39% after 400 cycles at 2C. Based on different characterizations and electrochemical performances, both the formation and sodium storage mechanism of Na3V2(PO4)3-based composite cathodes were initially concluded, which is significant and important for improving electrical conductivity and designing practical carbon-cladding strategies for Na-ion batteries.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 has received a lot of attention as a prospective cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its strong 3D wide-open architecture for Na + transport. However, the practical application is still hampered by its poor electronic conductivity and weak Na + diffusion kinetics . In this paper, a novel Mg 2+ -doped Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 flower-like cathode (Na 3+x V 2-x Mg x (PO 4 ) 3 /C, x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) with abundant mesoporous has been synthesized by a convenient template-assisted sol-gel method. Mg 2+ doping successfully triggers V 4+ /V 5+ reversible redox with improved voltage plateau and reversible capacity. The hierarchical mesoporous structure combined with carbon layers is beneficial to the fast transport of Na + and e − , which guarantee improved kinetic properties and enhanced conductivity. Attributed to these competitive advantages, significantly improved electrochemical properties of Na 3.04 V 1.96 Mg 0.04 (PO 4 ) 3 /C (NVMP-4) are acquired, including extremely high specific capacity (123.8 mAh g −1 at 1C), excellent rate performance (73.8 mAh·g −1 at 100C) and exceptionally stable energy output with 89.1 % capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 20C. Additionally, when assembled with a hard carbon anode (HC), NVMP-4||HC provides an exceptional energy density of 216.9 Wh kg −1 at 0.2C. By enhancing nanostructure and rational surface engineering, this project offers fresh perspectives for creating superior electrodes, increasing the energy density of SIBs.

Currently, the both low electronic and ionic conductivity have seriously hindered the further application of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP). Nevertheless, traditional carbon materials modification only improves the electronic conductive property, rather than modifying the ionic conductivity. Herein, N-rich carbon resources of glycine (GLY) is introduced to synthesize NVP, which can act as reducing agent and morphology inducer to optimize NVP sample. Notably, GLY supplies favorable N-doped carbon skeleton, and this defective carbon structure benefits for the accelerated electronic conductivity. Besides, porous construction is established after introducing GLY. This unique morphology significantly improves the infiltration effects of electrolyte, thus providing more electrochemical active sites for Na + de-intercalation to improve the ionic conductivity. Meanwhile, porous framework supplies enough space for the shrinkage of crystal cells, so the stress-strain effect is highly restrained, which is demonstrated by Ex-situ XRD. The stabilized crystal and morphological structure of NVP@GLY-2 has been verified by after-cycled XRD/SEM/XPS. Highly improved kinetic characteristics are also investigated by In-situ EIS. Moreover, Accelerating Rate Calorimeter (ARC) measurements indicate that NVP@GLY-2-based half and full cells also have excellent thermal safety properties. Comprehensively, NVP@GLY-2 reveals a high capacity of 119 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C. It reveals 84.5 and 71.2 mAh g −1 at 10 and 50 C, with capacity retention rates of 88.9 % and 85.8 % after 1000 cycles.

Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathodes suffer from intrinsically low electronic conductivity and sluggish, nonuniform two-phase conversion, which together limit their rate capability, cycle life, and low-temperature performance. A pulsed-laser strategy is developed to simultaneously generate hollow NVP spheres and achieve in situ anchors 3–4 nm carbon quantum dots (CQDs) onto NVP, yielding a hollow/CQD architecture (NVP-L). The hollow morphology shortens Na+ diffusion paths and buffers transformation-induced strain, while uniformly distributed CQDs form an internal conductive network that enhances local electronic transport and homogenizes interfacial reaction environments. Temperature-dependent GITT and Arrhenius analyses reveal a pronounced reduction of the effective activation energy from 0.51 eV for pristine NVP to 0.07 eV for NVP-L, accompanied by a several-fold increase in the Na+ chemical diffusion coefficient. Consequently, NVP-L delivers a high specific discharge capacity of 105.1 mAh g–1 at 20 C and retains 87.1% of its capacity after 3000 cycles and maintains 89.7 mAh g–1 after 500 cycles at −20 °C and 1 C. A full cell paired with a Na3Ti2(PO4)3 anode achieves an energy density of 148.5 Wh kg–1 and retains 91.6% and 88.7% of its capacity after 200 cycles at 1 and 5 C, respectively. This low-energy, scalable pulsed-laser approach provides a practical route to concurrently tailor morphology and interfaces, lower phase-conversion barriers, and realize fast, durable NASICON-type sodium-ion cathodes.

Due to the intrinsic structural stability, materials with polyanionic framework have attracted worldwide attention to build-up aqueous metal-ion batteries for large-scale energy storage. Anion-dependent electrochemical behaviors of graphene-modified Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (rGO/NVP/C) with rhombohedral structure have been explored. Compared to common saturated solutions, remarkable improvements on overall the electrochemical performances have been achieved in novel deep eutectic solvents (DES) based on methylsulfonylmethane, perchloride salts and water. A high-voltage aqueous lithium-ion battery consisted of rGO/NVP/C nanomaterials as cathode materials and carbon-coated NbOPO 4 as anode materials (rGO/NVP/C||DES-Li||NbOPO 4 ) exhibits a specific energy of 74 Wh kg −1 with a voltage output up to 1.8 V and excellent capacity retention that is above 80.1% after 600 cycles at 2 C current density. Kinetic studies have clearly shown that Li + (de)intercalation in rGO/NVP/C in DES is dominated by a diffusion-controlled process. During the repetitive Li + (de)intercalation, a phase transformation from Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 phase into Li 2 NaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 is identified. The negligible changes of lattice volume within Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 during Li + (de)intercalation, and the wide electrochemical window of DES together with the low activity of water in DES enable the long cycle life of rGO/NVP/C||DES-Li||NbOPO 4 .

To improve the inherent conductivity and extend the cycling durability of Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP), this study suggests a technique for synthesis of phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin-derived lamellar intercalated spherical NVP (PF-NVP/C) structures via solvothermal method. The unique lamellar intercalated sphere structure typically possesses good mechanical toughness, enabling better tolerance to the current impact. Moreover, spherical morphology features a significantly enlarged specific area of 144.32 m 2 g -1 , facilitating full contact between electrolyte and electrode, and providing additional active sites for Na + storage. Coupled with protective effect of carbon coating layers, the cycling stability is significantly improved. Meanwhile, highly conductive graphitized carbon skeleton from the pyrolysis of PF bonding with the uniform amorphous carbon layers constructs favourable networks for electronic transportation. Notably, the modified PF-NVP/C delivers a capacity of 115.5 mAh g -1 at 0.1 C. Remarkably, it can maintain a high capacity of 71.1 mAh g -1 and keeps 50.8 mAh g -1 even after 16000 cycles at 50 C, exhibiting outstanding cycling stability. Ex-situ XRD indicates the redox reaction of V 3+ /V 4+ is highly reversible. Furthermore, by comparing morphological and electrochemical kinetic characteristics of the PF-NVP/C before and after cycling, further evidence is provided to demonstrate its unique lamellar intercalated spherical morphology and excellent structural stability.

NASICON-structure Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) is a potential cathode for sodium ion battery , which however needs nano-crystallization to improve its rate performance. On the other hand, most practical electrodes are fabricated through slurry printing process, which needs to control the particle size to avoid the falling of the composite. Herein, for practical high-loading electrode fabrication, the micro-nano architecture, i.e. the micro particle plus nano channels inside, is suggested in this paper. The micro-nano information about NVP is obtained through Ga + focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy to reconstruct the 3D model of a single NVP particle, fully exhibiting the continuous nano channels inside the micro sphere . The as-obtained NVP/C sample in the micro size exhibits remarkable enhanced rate performance of 106, 104, 101, 96, 89, 70 and 44 mAh g −1 at rates of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 C respectively, compared to the control sample in the nano size with the capacity of 106, 103, 85, 77 and 60 mAh g −1 at 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 C respectively, meanwhile maintaining good adhesion towards Al foil and electrochemical performance at the areal loading of 10 mg cm −2 .

The rapid development of microelectronic devices has increased the demand for miniature energy storage systems that are highly safe and exhibit long cycling life and excellent energy density. However, the lack of low-cost and high-performance fabrication methods presents a significant challenge to thin-film electrode fabrication. This study reports a strategy combining controllable pre-curing treatment with rapid thermal annealing (RTA), which enables in situ fabrication of high-quality sodium vanadium phosphate [Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 ] thin films. RTA facilitates the cleavage of weak metal–O bonds in the precursor film, whereas optimisation of the pre-curing duration (0–100 s) effectively eliminates organic residues and strengthens the carbon framework, suppressing particle agglomeration. This synergistic control substantially improves crystallization uniformity and film densification, resulting in a refined grain structure and highly oriented crystal facets. Under optimal conditions, the thin film demonstrates a high specific capacity of 85.6 mAh g −1 at a current density of 1 A g −1 , retains 72.5 mAh g −1 even at 20 A g −1 , and demonstrates 90.3 % capacity retention after 200 cycles. Moreover, the assembled full sodium-ion cell exhibits an average operating voltage of 1.3 V while maintaining 94.2 % capacity retention after 500 cycles. This study elucidates for the first time the synergistic regulation pathway of the pre-curing–RTA coupling mechanism in Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 thin-film fabrication and proposes an advanced preparation strategy for cost-effective, highly integrated, high-power sodium-ion thin-film devices, providing critical theoretical foundations and robust technical support for next-generation all–solid state sodium microbattery design and development.

Porous spherical Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C composites were synthesized by a spray drying-assisted approach combined with microwave calcinations , and then characterized as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. The effect of carbon content on Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmet–Teller method, charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectra measurements. The results demonstrate that the Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C composite with 5wt.% carbon exhibits the best electrochemical performance among the as-prepared three Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C samples. It delivers the discharge capacity of 97.9 mAh g − 1 , 93.5 mAh g − 1 at 0.2 C and 5 C, respectively. Furthermore, 97.9% of its initial capacity is remained after 500 cycles at a high rate of 5 C. The superior electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the improvement of electronic and ionic conductivity by carbon coating and porous spherical structure.

Graphical Li? Na(h) . The intercalation mechanism and cathode electrolyte interphase property of Li-free polyanionic cathodes such as Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 and Na 3 (VOPO 4 ) 2 F are systematically demonstrated. They show intriguing electrochemical performances for lithium-ion batteries towards a sustainable society due to the abundance of Na resource, providing appropriate crystallographic sites for Li + /Na + intercalation/deintercalation due to the existence of pillar Na + ion residing in the structure. Although lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are promising towards high energy density and superior safety energy storage systems (ESS), severe depletion of Li reserve cannot meet the ever-growing demand for LIBs due to the uneven distribution and limited amount of Li resource. Li-free polyanionic cathodes, such as Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) and Na 3 (VOPO 4 ) 2 F (NVOPF), show intriguing electrochemical performances with prospective future for LIBs due to their appropriate crystallographic sites, robust host structure, and abundant Na resource. In this work, NVP and NVOPF were systematically investigated as cathodes for LIBs using different voltage windows of 2.5–4.3, 2.0–4.3, and 1.5–4.8 V, along with their electrochemical mechanisms, cathode electrolyte interphase properties, and electrode morphologies for comparison. Ex-situ X-ray diffraction, ex-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and post-mortem scanning electron microscopy revealed that their mechanisms shifted from a predominant Na + intercalation/deintercalation in the first charging/discharging to a mixed Li + /Na + intercalation/deintercalation at the subsequent cycling. Due to the residual Na + acting as pillar in the structure, NVP and NVPF could serve as robust host framework, providing appropriate crystallographic sites for repeated Li + /Na + intercalation/deintercalation. NVP electrode delivered a higher discharge capacity of 107.6 mAh g −1 with superior capacity retention of 84.3 % after 1000 cycles (2.5–4.3 V, 100 mA g −1 ) than NVOPF electrode (97.3 mAh g −1 , 68.8 %). Electrode polarization and kinetic analysis manifested one energetically similar and two energetically nonequivalent crystallographic Na sites within the R c and I 4 /mmm polyanionic structure of NVP and NVOPF. This work comprehensively demonstrates the feasibility and prospect of sodium-based NVP and NVOPF polyanions serving as advanced Li-free cathodes for LIBs, which provides novel insights into seeking Li-free candidates as prospective cathodes for LIBs towards a more sustainable society and a cost-effective battery manufacturing system.

Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) with a unique 3D open NASICON framework is regarded as an attractive electrode material in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its wide range of Na + accommodations. Nevertheless, the practical implementation of NVP is hampered by the unsatisfying capabilities and cycling stability at high rates of charging/discharging, which attribute to low electron/ion conductivities. Herein, a novel NVP@carbon/N-doped graphene aerogel (NVP@C/N-GA) is designed via a facile precursor infiltration followed by the post-heating treatment process. In this delicate design, the 3D porous and interconnected framework endows with bicontinuous ion/electron transport pathways for the rapid electrochemical reaction ; while the carbon layer combined with N doped graphene aerogel (N-GA) provides long-range conductive networks throughout the whole electrode and ensure the cycling stability. Consequently, the NVP@C/N-GA electrode is shown to achieve unprecedented rate capabilities and outstanding ultralong cycling stability as cathode (74.1 mA h g −1 at 100 C; 84% capacity retention at 20 C after 12,000 cycles) and anode (109.3 mA h g −1 at 20 C; 87% capacity retention at 20 C after 5000 cycles), both of them outperforms the majority of previously reported literature. Moreover, the symmetric full cell assembled by NVP@C/N-GA also demonstrates admirable electrochemical properties . Thus, this work may provide new avenues for constructing electrodes with high rate capability and ultralong-life.
