Abstract
Triphylite NaFePO4 emerges as a promising solution for sodium secondary batteries due to its abundant constituent elements and high energy density, making it attractive for sustainable energy storage applications. However, the direct synthesis of triphylite NaFePO4 is hindered by its thermal metastability. In this study, we propose an oxygen-powered sustainable production method for heterosite FePO4, the desodiated form of triphylite NaFePO4, derived from LiFePO4. Oxygen gas serves as the oxidizing agent for delithiating LiFePO4, and a closed-loop process has been successfully established to enable lithium recycling, which is essential for achieving cost-effective FePO4 production. Furthermore, we propose a high energy density metal cell configuration that utilizes the charged state of sodium metal batteries (Na/FePO4 configuration), aiming to improve the cyclability of Na-metal-free cells while maintaining the high energy density, thereby addressing a significant challenge in sodium metal battery technology.
