Abstract
Polyanionic Na3V2(PO4)3 is considered as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries; however, it is limited by its poor electronic conductivity resulting in inferior rate capability and cycling stability. Herein, the rational design and synthesis of Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) particles embedded in various N-doped carbon matrices, that is, nitrogen-doped pyrolytic carbon (N−C), carbon nanotubes (N-CNT), graphene nanosheets (N-rGO), and Ketjen black nanospheres (N-KB), are reported together with the structural investigation and electrochemical performance. It is evidenced that the N-doped carbon coating efficiently improves the rate capability and cyclability with minor polarization of NVP materials as a result of enhanced electronic/ionic conductivities and facilitated charge transfer at the electrode−electrolyte interface. Particularly, the NVP nanograins dispersed in the N-doped carbon nanotube matrix exhibit the best rate and cycling performance. When cycled at rates from 0.1 to 20 C, the discharge capacity decays only slightly from 114 to 100 mAh g−1, offering outstanding high power capacity retention (88 %). Moreover, the material retains excellent capacity (92 %) upon long-term cycling (3000 cycles) at extremely high rate of 50 C.
