ABSTRACT
A carbon-coated
K0.76V0.55Nb0.45OPO4 (KVNP@C) polyanion
material was successfully synthe- sized by a simple sol-gel method. The KVNP@C possesses
a highly stable inorganic open-framework structure, which is hard to be
affected by the Na+ intercalation/deintercalation when used as an
anode material for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). The assembled KVNP@C/Na
half-cell shows a capacity retention of 81.2% and an average Coulombic efficiency
of 99.8% at a current density of 300 mA/g after 1500 cycles. In-situ XRD analysis reveals
a single-phase solid solution reaction mechanism with a lattice expansion of
4.76%. This work sheds insights into the quest for developing novel
polyanion-based anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.
