Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are widely studied for energy storage applications, but achieving cathode materials with balanced high energy density, stability, and fast charge/discharge performance remains a key challenge. In this study, we successfully synthesized a series of NASICON-type Na3.5−xMn0.5V1.5−xZrx(PO4)3/C, incorporating Mn, V, and Zr to investigate their impact on electrochemical performance. By introducing Zr alongside Mn and V, we developed a novel strategy to activate V4+/V5+ redox reactions, achieving high energy density. Moreover, this substitution promotes Na-ion migration by widening the migration pathways and generating additional Na vacancies, which greatly enhances electrode reaction kinetics and boosts overall performance. Na3.4Mn0.5V1.4Zr0.1(PO4)3/C demonstrates superior stability, retaining 90% of its capacity after 800 cycles, and delivers high-rate performance (84 mAh∙g−1 at 20C), significantly outperforming pristine Na3.5Mn0.5V1.5(PO4)3/C. These advancements highlight a potential approach for developing efficient and sustainable SIBs.
