Abstract
Iron-based phosphates for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as viable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for grid-scale energy storage, owing to their high performance, exceptional low-temperature stability, and abundant resources. This review discusses the fundamental principles of iron-based phosphate cathode reactions from a microscopic perspective and highlights the limitations and challenges associated with NaFePO4, Na3Fe2(PO4)3, Na2FePO4F (NFPF), and Na4Fe3(PO4)2P2O7 (NFPP) materials. To address these challenges, we systematically summarize the improvement strategies for NaFePO4, Na3Fe2(PO4)3, NFPF, and NFPP regarding ion diffusion efficiency, electrical conductivity, and large-scale applications. Finally, through comprehensive analysis, we propose three strategic research priorities for NFPP and provide an outlook on the future development of commercially viable high-performance iron-based phosphate cathodes.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
