Carbon decorated Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3 for high-rate lithium-ion batteries:Electrochemical performance and charge compensation mechanism

Fast charging and high-power delivering batteries are highly demanded in mobile electronics,electric vehicles and grid energy storage,but there are full of challenges.The star-material Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ is demonstrated as a promising high-rate cathode material meeting the above requirements.Herein,we report the carbon decorated Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (LVP/C) cathode prepared via a facile method,which displays a remarkable high-rate capability and long-term cycling performance.Briefly,the prepared LVP/C delivers a high discharge capacity of 122 mAh g^-1(-93% of the theoretical capacity) at a high rate up to 20 C and a superior capacity retention of 87.1% after 1000 cycles.Importantly,by applying a combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and full-range mapping of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering,we clearly elucidate the structural and chemical evolutions of LVP upon various potentials and cycle numbers.We show unambiguous spectroscopic evidences that the evolution of the hybridization strength between V and O in LVP/C as a consequence of lithiation/delithiation is highly reversible both in the bulk and on the surface during the discharge-charge processes even over extended cycles,which should be responsible for the remarkable electrochemical performance of LVP/C.Our present study provides not only an effective synthesis strategy but also deeper insights into the surface and bulk electrochemical reaction mechanism of LVP,which should be beneficial for the further design of high-performance LVP electrode materials.

流变相法制备海藻酸基碳包覆Li3V2(PO4)3材料的电化学性能

Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃/C (LVP/C) cathode materials were successfully prepared by a rheological phase method using alginic acid as the carbon source. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns demonstrate that all the samples contain pure LVP with the same monoclinic structure. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show that LVP/C materials have a uniform particle size. The LVP/C sample with 10% (w) alginic acid shows the best cycling stability. It delivers a discharge capacity of 117.5 mAh·g^-1 (3.0-4.3 V), which can be maintained at 116.5 mAh·g^-1 after 50 cycles at a rate of 0.1C. Its capacity retentions of 99.1% (3.0-4.3 V) and 76.8% (3.0-4.8 V) after 50 cycles are prominently higher than those of pristine Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃, which are 89.7% (3.0-4.3 V) and 62.39% (3.0-4.8 V). These outstanding electrochemical performances are mainly attributed to the alginic acid-based carbon coating, which can increase the electronic conductivity of materials and buffer the mechanical damage of the active materials during the Li ion insertion/extraction process, thus improving the electrochemical performance of the LVP/C samples.

Nitrogen-doped Carbon Coated Na3V2(PO4)3 with Superior Sodium Storage Capability

Cathodes with high cycling stability and rate capability are required for ambient temperature sodium ion batteries in renewable energy storage application. Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ is an attractive cathode material with excellent electrochemical stability and fast ion diffusion coefficient within the 3D NASICON structure. Nevertheless, the practical application of Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ is seriously hindered by its intrinsically poor electronic conductivity. Herein, solvent evaporation method is presented to obtain the nitrogen-doped carbon coated Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ cathode material, delivering enhanced electrochemical performances. N-Doped carbon layer coating serves as a highly conducting pathway, and creates numerous extrinsic defects and active sites, which can facilitate the storage and diffusion of Na⁺. Moreover, the N-doped carbon layer can provide a stable framework to accommodate the agglomeration of the electrode upon electrode cycling. N-Doped carbon coated Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃(NC-NVP) exhibits excellent long cycling life and superior rate performances than bare Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ without carbon coating. NC-NVP delivers a stable capacity of 95.9 mA·h/g after 500 cycles at 1 C rate, which corresponds to high capacity retention(94.6%) with respect to the initial capacity(101.4 mA·h/g). Over 91.3% of the initial capacity is retained after 500 cycles at 5 C, and the capacity can reach 85 mA·h/g at 30 C rate.
