Abstract
- Polyanion compounds offer a playground for designing prospective electrode active materials for sodium-ion storage due to their structural diversity and chemical variety. Here, by combining a NaVPO <subscript>4</subscript> F composition and KTiOPO <subscript>4</subscript> -type framework via a low-temperature (e.g., 190 °C) ion-exchange synthesis approach, we develop a high-capacity and high-voltage positive electrode active material. When tested in a coin cell configuration in combination with a Na metal negative electrode and a NaPF <subscript>6</subscript> -based non-aqueous electrolyte solution, this cathode active material enables a discharge capacity of 136 mAh g <superscript>-1</superscript> at 14.3 mA g <superscript>-1</superscript> with an average cell discharge voltage of about 4.0 V. Furthermore, a specific discharge capacity of 123 mAh g <superscript>-1</superscript> at 5.7 A g <superscript>-1</superscript> is also reported for the same cell configuration. Through ex situ and operando structural characterizations, we also demonstrate that the reversible Na-ion storage at the positive electrode occurs mostly via a solid-solution de/insertion mechanism.<br /> (© 2022.
