Abstract
With the rapid development of electric vehicles and smart grids, the demands for energy supply systems such as secondary batteries are increasing exponentially. Despite the world-renowned achievements in portable devices, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have struggled to meet the demands due to the constraints of total lithium resources. As the most promising alternative to LIBs, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are generating widespread research enthusiasm around the world. Among all components, the cathode material remains the primary obstacle to the practical application of SIBs due to its inability to match the performance of other components. Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) stands out as a promising cathode material for SIBs, given its suitable theoretical specific capacity, appropriate operating voltage, robust structural stability, and excellent ionic conductivity. In this article, we first review recent modification strategies for NVP, including conductive substance coating, ion doping (single-, dual- and multi-site doping) and morphology modulation (from zero-dimensional (0D) to three-dimensional (3D)). Subsequently, we summarize five ways in which density functional theory (DFT) calculations can be applied in guiding NVP modification studies. Furthermore, a series of emerging studies combining DFT calculations are introduced. Finally, the remaining challenges and the prospects for optimization of NVP in SIBs are presented.

[PMID: 37864868 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.10.075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/23/2023]
Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) is highly valued based on the stable construction among the polyanionic compounds. Nevertheless, the drawback of low intrinsic conductivity has been impeded its further application. In this paper, the internal channels of the crystal structure are extended by the introduction of larger radius Ce3+, which increases the transport rate of Na+. The introduction of Mo6+ replacing the V site leads to a beneficial n-type doping effect and facilitates the transportation of electrons. Besides, CeO2 cladding is introduced to further enhance the electronic conductivity of NVP system. Initially, CeO2 serves as an n-type semiconductor and functions as a conductive additive to significantly enhance the electronic conductivity of the electrode, thereby improving the electrochemical characteristics. Moreover, CeO2 functions as an oxygen buffer, aiding in the maintenance of active metal dispersion during operation and enabling efficient electron transfer between CeO2 and [VO6] octahedra in NVP, thus fostering outstanding electrical connectivity between the oxides. CeO2 cladding can be effectively integrated with the carbon layer to stabilize the NVP system. Comprehensively, the modified Na3V1.79Ce0.07Mo0.07(PO4)3/C@8wt.%CeO2 (CeMo0.07@8wt.%CeO2) composite exhibits excellent rate and cycling properties. It delivers a capacity of 113.4 mAh/g at 1C with a capacity retention rate of 80.3 % after 150 cycles. Even at 10C and 40C, it also submits high capacities of 84.7 mAh/g and 76 mAh/g, respectively. Furthermore, the CHC//CeMo0.07@8wt.%CeO2 asymmetric full cell possesses excellent sodium storage property, indicating its prospective application potentials.

Abstract
In this work, several carbon-decorated Na3V2(PO4)3 materials (NVP@C-750/800/850) are successfully fabricated using a sol-gel approach and subsequent heat treatment. When NVP@C-800 is used as a cathode, it shows an ultralong cycle life (2000 cycles) at a high rate of 10C, which is superior to the other two electrodes and those of reported NVP@C cathodes in the literature. The excellent results of NVP@C-800 are attributed to its nanostructure and the well-defined conductive carbon layer. The symmetric sodium (Na)-ion battery (SIB) with NVP@C-800 as both a cathode and an anode shows a high capacity at 40 mA g-1 with a voltage plateau of about 1.79 V and energy density of 113 W h kg-1, revealing that NVP@C is of great application prospect.
