Abstract
NASICON-type Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) is a promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), but its performance is hindered by Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) impurities and intrinsic limitations. To overcome these challenges, Ti-substituted NVPF cathodes are successfully synthesized using the sol–gel method in this study. Theoretical calculations and advanced analyses confirm that substituting Ti ions for V in the NVPF lattice effectively eliminates NVP impurities, mitigates the low-voltage plateau issue, and enhances both electronic conductivity and sodium-ion diffusion kinetics. Hence, the optimized Na3V1.95Ti0.05(PO4)2F3 cathode demonstrated a high initial capacity of 129.10 mAh g–1 at 0.2 C. Notably, it exhibited excellent cycling stability, with capacity retentions of 91.98% after 500 cycles at 5 C and 81.14% after 6000 cycles at 30 C, significantly outperforming the unsubstituted NVPF sample. This study provides a practical new approach for the development of high-performance cathode materials for SIBs and is expected to accelerate the commercialization process of SIBs.
nasiconon型Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF)是一种很有前途的钠离子电池(sib)阴极材料,但其性能受到Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP)杂质和内在限制的影响。为了克服这些挑战,本研究采用溶胶-凝胶法成功合成了ti取代的NVPF阴极。理论计算和高级分析证实,在NVPF晶格中用Ti取代V可以有效地消除NVP杂质,缓解低压平台问题,并提高电子导电性和钠离子扩散动力学。因此,优化后的Na3V1.95Ti0.05(PO4)2F3阴极在0.2℃下具有129.10 mAh g-1的高初始容量,且具有良好的循环稳定性,在5℃下循环500次后容量保留率为91.98%,在30℃下循环6000次后容量保留率为81.14%,明显优于未替代的NVPF样品。本研究为sib高性能正极材料的开发提供了一条实用的新途径,有望加快sib的商业化进程。
