Abstract
- Na <subscript>4</subscript> MnV(PO <subscript>4</subscript> ) <subscript>3</subscript> /C (NMVP) has been considered an attractive cathode for sodium-ion batteries with higher working voltage and lower cost than Na <subscript>3</subscript> V <subscript>2</subscript> (PO <subscript>4</subscript> ) <subscript>3</subscript> /C. However, the poor intrinsic electronic conductivity and Jahn-Teller distortion caused by Mn <superscript>3+</superscript> inhibit its practical application. In this work, the remarkable effects of Zr-substitution on prompting electronic and Na-ion conductivity and also structural stabilization are reported. The optimized Na <subscript>3.9</subscript> Mn <subscript>0.95</subscript> Zr <subscript>0.05</subscript> V(PO <subscript>4</subscript> ) <subscript>3</subscript> /C sample shows ultrafast charge-discharge capability with discharge capacities of 108.8, 103.1, 99.1, and 88.0 mAh g <superscript>-1</superscript> at 0.2, 1, 20, and 50 C, respectively, which is the best result for cation substituted NMVP samples reported so far. This sample also shows excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 81.2% at 1 C after 500 cycles. XRD analyses confirm the introduction of Zr into the lattice structure which expands the lattice volume and facilitates the Na <superscript>+</superscript> diffusion. First-principle calculation indicates that Zr modification reduces the band gap energy and leads to increased electronic conductivity. In situ XRD analyses confirm the same structure evolution mechanism of the Zr-modified sample as pristine NMVP, however the strong ZrO bond obviously stabilizes the structure framework that ensures long-term cycling stability.<br /> (© 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.)
