Abstract
NASICON (Na+super ionic conductor) structures of NaxMV(PO4)3(M = Mn, Fe, Ni) were prepared, characterized by aberration-corrected STEM and synchrotron radiation, and demonstrated to be durable cathode materials for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. In Na4MnV(PO4)3, two redox couples of Mn3+/Mn2+and V4+/V3+are accessed with two voltage plateaus located at 3.6 and 3.3 V and a capacity of 101 mAh g-1at 1 C. Furthermore, the Na4MnV(PO4)3cathode delivers a high initial efficiency of 97%, long durability over 1000 cycles, and good rate performance to 10 C. The robust framework structure and stable electrochemical performance makes it a reliable cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.
