Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) is emerging as a promising cathode material for high-voltage sodium-ion batteries. Whereas, the inferior intrinsic electrical conductivity leading to poor rate performance and cycling stability. To address this issue, a strategy of synthesizing unique yolk-shell structured NVPF with copper substitution via spray drying method is proposed. Besides, the synergistic modulation of both crystalline structure and interfacial properties results in significantly enhanced intrinsic and interfacial conductivity of NVPF. The optimized yolk-shell structured cathode materials can possess a high capacity of 117.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C, and remains a high-capacity retention of 91.3% after 5000 cycles. A detailed investigation of kinetic properties combined with in situ XRD technology and DFT calculations, has been implemented, particularly with regard to electron conduction and sodium ion diffusion. Consequently, the yolk-shell structured composition of Na3V1.94Cu0.06(PO4)2F3 with nitrogen-modified carbon coating layer shows the lowest polarization potential because of the effectively enhanced electronic conductivity and Na+ diffusion process in the bulk phase. The robust electrochemical performance suggests that developing the unique yolk-shell structure with the collaboration of interface and bulk crystal properties is a favorable strategy to design cathode material with a high performance for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF), a typical sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) type structure, has attracted much interest as a potential positive electrode in sodium-ion battery. However, the inherently poor electronic conductivity of phosphates compromises the electrochemical properties of this material. Here, we develop a general strategy to improve the electrochemical performance by preparing a new composite material "polyaniline (PANI)@NVPF" using a Pickering emulsion method. The X-ray diffraction and Raman results indicated a successful PANI coating without affecting the NASICON-type structure of NVPF, and they enhanced the interfacial bonding between the two components. Also, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy analyses revealed that the PANI content influenced the thermal stability and morphology of the nanocomposites. As a result, the sodium test cells exhibited multielectron reactions and a better rate performance for PANI@NVPF nanocomposites as compared to NVPF. Specifically, 2%PANI@NVPF maintained 70% of its initial capacity at 5C. Ex-situ electron paramagnetic resonance revealed the existence of mixed valence states of vanadium (V4+/V3+) in both discharge and charge processes. Consequently, the successful PANI coating into the sodium superionic conductor framework improved the sodium diffusion channels with a measurable increase of diffusion coefficients with cycling (ca. 3.25 × 10-11 cm2 s-1). Therefore, PANI@NVPF nanocomposites are promising cathode candidates for high-rate sodium-ion battery applications.

Abstract
Sodium ion batteries have attracted great attention for large scale energy storage devices to replace lithium-ion batteries. As a promising polyanionic cathode material of sodium-ion batteries, Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) belonging to NASICON exhibits large gap space and excellent structural stability, leading to a high energy density and ultralong cycle lifespan. To improve its stability and Na ion mobility, K+ cations are introduced into NVPF crystal as in situ partial substitution for Na+. The influence of K+ in situ substitution on crystal structure, electronic properties, kinetic properties, and electrochemical performance of NVPF are investigated. Through ex situ examination, it turns out that K+ occupied Na1 ion, in which the K+ does not participate in the charge-discharge process and plays a pillar role in improving the mobility of Na+. Moreover, the doping of K+ cation can reduce the bandgap energy and improve the electronic conductivity. Besides, the optimal K+ doping concentration in N0.92K0.08VPF/C is found so as to achieve rapid Na+ migration and reversible phase transition. The specific capacity of N0.92K0.08VPF/C is as high as 128.8 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C, and at 10 C its rate performance is excellent, which shows a capacity of 113.3 mAh g-1.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) represent a promising energy storage technology with great safety. Because of their high operating potential, superior structural stability, and prominent thermal stability, polyanion-type phosphates have garnered significant interest in superior prospective cathode materials for SIBs. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of poor intrinsic electronic conductivity, sluggish kinetics, and volume variation during sodiation/desodiation remain great challenges for satisfactory rate performance and cycle stability, which severely hinder their further practical applications. In this work, by adjusting the amounts of pretreated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNT) added intentionally at the beginning of the preparation, biphasic polyanion-type phosphate materials (marked as NFC) are synthesized through a one-pot solid state reaction methodology, which are composed of CNT-interwoven Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) and a small amount of Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP). Benefiting from the improved electronic conductivity and unique composition and structure, the optimized sample (labeled as NFC-2) illustrates exceptional cycle stability and remarkable rate performance. The discharge capacities of the NFC-2 electrode are 114.8 and 78.6 mAh g-1 tested at 20 and 5000 mA g-1, respectively. Notably, such an electrode still gives out 75.7% capacity retention upon 10 000 cycles at 5000 mA g-1. In situ X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that the NFC-2 cathode has outstanding structural reversibility during charge/discharge cycles. More importantly, such a biphasic material has achieved impressive electrochemical performance within a wide operating temperature range of -20-50 °C. When temperature is decreased to -20 °C, the NFC-2 electrode still delivers an initial discharge capacity of 102.4 mAh g-1 and exhibits a remarkable capacity retention of 97.8% even after 500 cycles at 50 mA g-1. In addition, the sodium-ion full cell assembled by integrating NFC-2 cathode and hard carbon anode shows a satisfying energy density of 431.3 Wh kg-1 at 20 mA g-1 with a better long-term cycle performance. The synergistic effect among high energy NVPF, conductive CNT, and stable NVP may lead to the great improvement in the electrochemical sodium storage performance of the NFC-2 sample. Such biphasic polyanion-type phosphate materials will inject new ideas into the material design for SIBs with excellent electrochemical performance and further promote practical applications of this advanced energy storage technology.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF), recognized for its Na superionic conductor architecture, emerges as a promising candidate among polyanion-type cathodes for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). However, its adoption in practical applications faces obstacles due to its inherently low electronic conductivity. To address this challenge, we employ a binary co-doped strategy to design Na3.3K0.2V1.5Mg0.5(PO4)2F3 cathode with nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) coating layer. This configuration enhances electronic conductivity and reduces diffusion barriers for sodium ion (Na+). The strategy of incorporating nitrogen-doped carbon coating not only facilitates the formation of a porous structure but also introduces additional defects and active sites. Such modifications accelerate the reaction kinetics and augment electrolyte interaction through an expanded specific surface area, thus streamlining the electrochemical process. Concurrently, strategic heteroatom substitution leads to a more efficient engagement of Na+ in the electrochemical activities, thereby bolstering the cathode's structural integrity. The vanadium fluorophosphate Na3.3K0.2V1.5Mg0.5(PO4)2F3@NC exhibits an electrochemical performance, including a high discharge specific capacity of 124.3 mA h g-1 at 0.1C, a long lifespan of 1000 cycles with a capacity retention of 93.1 % at 10C, and a rate property of 73.2 mA h g-1 at 20C. This research provides a method for preparing binary doped NVPF for energy storage electrochemistry.

Abstract
Cost-effectiveness plays a decisive role in sustainable operating of rechargeable batteries. As such, the low cost-consumption of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) provides a promising direction for "how do SIBs/PIBs replace Li-ion batteries (LIBs) counterparts" based on their resource abundance and advanced electrochemical performance. To rationalize the SIBs/PIBs technologies as alternatives to LIBs from the unit energy cost perspective, this review gives the specific criteria for their energy density at possible electrode-price grades and various battery-longevity levels. The cost ($ kWh-1 cycle-1) advantage of SIBs/PIBs is ascertained by the cheap raw-material compensation for the cycle performance deficiency and the energy density gap with LIBs. Furthermore, the cost comparison between SIBs and PIBs, especially on cost per kWh and per cycle, is also involved. This review explicitly manifests the practicability and cost-effectiveness toward SIBs are superior to PIBs whose commercialization has so far been hindered by low energy density. Even so, the huge potential on sustainability of PIBs, to outperform SIBs, as the mainstream energy storage technology is revealed as long as PIBs achieve long cycle life or enhanced energy density, the related outlook of which is proceeded as the next development directions for commercial applications.

Abstract
Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-structured Na4MnCr(PO4)3 (NMCP) possessing unique three-electron transfer process renders admirable energy density for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). However, the current issues like its sluggish Na+ diffusion kinetics, deficient intrinsic conductivity, and unsatisfactory structural stability, hinder its practical application. Herein, a selective replacement of O elements in PO4 group by Cl anions in the NMCP system was developed to significantly enhance its electrochemical performance. The results affirm that the enhanced performance of Cl doped samples can be attributed to the enlargement of cell size, the creation of Na vacancies and the weakness of Na2O bond after Cl doping. The as-prepared Na3.85□0.15MnCr(PO3.95Cl0.05)3/C (NMCPC - 15/C) cathode delivers a high capacity (128.0 mAh/g at 50 mA g-1) and excellent rate performance (73.0 mAh/g at 1000 mA g-1) in contrast to NMCP/C that merely provides 105.2 mAh/g at 50 mA g-1 and reduces to 47.4 mAh/g at 1000 mA g-1. Meanwhile, NMCPC - 15/C shows a capacity retention of 60.7 % at 1000 mA g-1 after 500 cycles, while only 37.1 % for NMCP/C in the same test conditions. Moreover, the satisfactory performance and energy density of NMCPC - 15/C||hard carbon (HC) full cell confirm the potential practicality of NMCPC - 15. Therefore, chloride ions doping into NMCP has practical application prospects in the preparation of high-performance cathode materials and our work also offers new inspiration to apply anion doping strategies in promoting the performance of the other NASICON-structured cathodes for SIBs.

Abstract
Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) (NFPP) has been considered a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its environmental friendliness and economic viability. However, its electrochemical performance is constrained by connatural low electronic conductivity and inadequate sodium ion diffusion. Herein, a high-entropy substitution strategy is employed in NFPP to address these limitations. Ex situ X-ray diffraction analysis reveals a single-phase electrochemical reaction during the sodiation/desodiation processes and the increased configurational entropy in HE-NFPP endows an enhanced structure, which results in a minimal volume variation of only 1.83%. Kinetic analysis and density functional theory calculation further confirm that the orbital hybrid synergy of high-entropy transition metals offers a favorable electronic structure, which efficaciously boosts the charge transfer kinetics and optimizes the sodium ion diffusion channel. Based on this versatile strategy, the as-prepared high-entropy Na4Fe2.5Mn0.1Mg0.1Co0.1Ni0.1Cu0.1(PO4)2(P2O7) (HE-NFPP) cathode can deliver a prominent rate performance of 55 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 and an ultra-long cycling lifespan of over 18 000 cycles at 5 A g-1. When paired with a hard carbon (HC) anode, HE-NFPP//HC full cell exhibits a favorable cycling durability of 1000 cycles. This high-entropy engineering offers a feasible route to improve the electrochemical performance of NFPP and provides a blueprint for exploring high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Activating multielectron reactions of sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type cathodes toward higher energy density remains imperative to boost their application feasibility. However, multisodium storage with high stability is difficult to achieve due to the sluggish reaction kinetics, irreversible phase transitions, and negative structural degradation. Herein, a kind of NASICON-type Na2.5V1.5Ti0.5(PO4)3/C (NVTP-0.5) hierarchical microsphere consisting of abundant primary nanoparticles is designed, realizing a reversible 3.2-electron reaction with high stability. The optimized NVTP-0.5 cathode demonstrates an ultrahigh discharge capacity of 192.42 mAh g-1, energy density of up to 497.3 Wh kg-1 at 20 mA g-1, and capacity retention ratio of 94.1% after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1. Additionally, the NVTP-0.5 cathode delivers excellent tolerance to extreme temperatures while also achieving a high-energy density of 400 Wh kg-1 (based on the cathode mass) in a full-cell configuration. Systematic in situ/ex situ analysis results confirm the multisodium storage processes of NVTP-0.5 involving successive redox reactions (V2+/V3+, Ti3+/Ti4+, and V3+/V4+ redox couples) and reversible structure evolution (solid-solution and biphasic mechanisms), which contribute to the high capacity and excellent cycling stability. This work indicates that the rational regulation of components with different functions can unlock more possibilities for the development of NASICON-type cathodes.

Abstract
High voltage, high rate, and cycling-stable cathodes are urgently needed for development of commercially viable sodium ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we report a facial ball-milling to synthesize a carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 composite (C-NVPF). Benefiting from the highly conductive carbon layer, the C-NVPF material exhibits a high reversible capacity (110.6 mA h g-1 at 0.1C), long-term cycle life (54% of capacity retention up to 2000 cycles at 5C), and excellent rate performance (35.1 mA h g-1 at 30C). The present results suggest promising applications of the C-NVPF material as a high-performance cathode for sodium ion batteries.

Abstract
The shortage of resources such as lithium and cobalt has promoted the development of novel battery systems with low cost, abundance, high performance, and efficient environmental adaptability. Due to the abundance and low cost of sodium, sodium-ion battery chemistry has drawn worldwide attention in energy storage systems. It is widely considered that wide-temperature tolerance sodium-ion batteries (WT-SIBs) can be rapidly developed due to their unique electrochemical and chemical properties. However, WT-SIBs, especially for their electrode materials and electrolyte systems, still face various challenges in harsh-temperature conditions. In this review, we focus on the achievements, failure mechanisms, fundamental chemistry, and scientific challenges of WT-SIBs. The insights of their design principles, current research, and safety issues are presented. Moreover, the possible future research directions on the battery materials for WT-SIBs are deeply discussed. Progress toward a comprehensive understanding of the emerging chemistry for WT-SIBs comprehensively discussed in this review will accelerate the practical applications of wide-temperature tolerance rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) has been regarded as a favorable cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high voltage and stable structure. However, the limited electronic conductivity restricts its rate performance. NVPF@reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was synthesized by a facile microwave-assisted hydrothermal approach with subsequent calcination to shorten the hydrothermal time. NVPF nanocuboids with sizes of 50-150 nm distributed on rGO can be obtained, delivering excellent electrochemical performance such as a longevity life (a high capacity retention of 85.6% after 7000 cycles at 10 C) and distinguished rate capability (116 mAh g-1 at 50 C with a short discharging/charging time of 1.2 min). The full battery with a Cu2Se anode represents a capacity of 116 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1. The introduction of rGO can augment the electronic conductivity and advance the Na+ diffusion speed, boosting the cycling and rate capability. Besides, the small lattice change (3.3%) and high structural reversibility during the phase transition process between Na3V2(PO4)2F3 and NaV2(PO4)2F3 testified by in situ X-ray diffraction are also advantageous for Na storage behavior. This work furnishes a simple method to synthesize polyanionic cathodes with ultrahigh rate and ultralong lifespan for fast-charging SIBs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are widely considered a hopeful alternative to lithium-ion battery technology. However, they still face challenges, such as low rate capability, unsatisfactory cycling stability, and inferior variable-temperature performance. In this study, a hierarchical Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 (NVPF) @reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite (NVPF@rGO/CNT) is successfully constructed. This composite features 0D Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 nanoparticles are coated by a cross-linked 3D conductive network composed of 2D rGO and 1D CNT. Furthermore, the intrinsic Na+ storage mechanism of NVPF@rGO/CNT through comprehensive characterizations is unveiled. The synthesized NVPF@rGO/CNT exhibits fast ionic/electronic transport and excellent structural stability within wide working temperatures (-40-50 °C), owing to the zero-strain NVPF and the coated rGO/CNT conductive network that reduces diffusion distance for ions and electrons. Moreover, the stable integration between NVPF and rGO/CNT enables outstanding structural stability to alleviate strain and stress induced during the cycle. Additionally, a practice full cell is assembled employing a hard carbon anode paired with an NVPF@rGO/CNT cathode, which provides a decent capacity of 105.2 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C, thereby attaining an ideal energy density of 242.7 Wh kg-1 . This work provides valuable insights into developing high-energy and power-density cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
The efficient operation of metal-ion batteries in harsh environments, such as at temperatures below -20 °C or at high charge/discharge rates required for EV applications, calls for a careful selection of electrode materials. In this study, we report advantages associated with the solid solution (de)intercalation over the two-phase (de)intercalation pathway and identify the main sources of performance limitations originating from the two mechanisms. To isolate the (de)intercalation pathway as the main variable, we focused on two cathode materials for Na-ion batteries: a recently developed KTiOPO4-type NaVPO4F and a well-studied Na3V2(PO4)2F3. These materials have the same elemental composition, operate within the same potential range, and demonstrate very close ionic diffusivities, yet follow different (de)intercalation routes. To avoid any interpretation uncertainties, we obtained these materials in the form of particles with merely identical morphology and size. A detailed electrochemical study revealed a much lower capacity and energy density retention for phase-transforming Na3V2(PO4)2F3 compared to NaVPO4F, which exhibits a single-phase behavior over a wide range of Na concentrations. The reasons for the inferior rate capability and temperature tolerance for the phase-separating Na3V2(PO4)2F3 material should be affiliated with slow phase boundary propagation. We hope that the comprehensive information on limiting factors provided for both mechanisms is useful for the further optimization of electrode materials toward a new generation of high-power and low-temperature metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Polyanionic material, specifically the NASICON-type material, is considered a promising cathode material for Na-ion batteries (SIBs) because of its stable structure and high operating voltage. Further, it improves the energy density correlated with the well utilization of all Na in the compound. For Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 (NVPF), the extraction of the third Na, reported as the electrochemical inactivated, can be realized at a high voltage region while forming an irreversible tetragonal phase. In this study, we introduce Ti doping to the Na2 VTi(PO4 )2 F3 (NVTPF) material; we reveal that the Ti-doped NVTPF could effectively suppress the irreversible phase transformation, thus successfully harnessing Na in a wide voltage range. Experimental study discloses that the Ti-substituted Na2 VTi(PO4 )2 F3 could take up the Na+ from Amam phase to Cmc21 phase between 1.0 V and 4.8 V reversibly accounting for the 2 Na+ transportation that shows favorable Na+ kinetics and structural stability. Our research provides the strategy to stabilize the polyanion structure upon charging at a high voltage range and inspires the utilization of full sodium in the polyanionic materials, which could be considered as a material design for future conventional applications.

Abstract
Next-generation secondary batteries including sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are considered the most promising candidates for application to large-scale energy storage systems due to their abundant, evenly distributed and cost-effective sodium/potassium raw materials. The electrochemical performance of SIBs (PIBs) significantly depends on the inherent characteristics of the cathode material. Among the wide variety of cathode materials, sodium/potassium vanadium fluorophosphate (denoted as MVPF, M = Na and K) composites are widely investigated due to their fast ion transportation and robust structure. However, their poor electron conductivity leads to low specific capacity and poor rate capacity, limiting the further application of MVPF cathodes in large-scale energy storage. Accordingly, several modification strategies have been proposed to improve the performance of MVPF such as conductive coating, morphological regulation, and heteroatomic doping, which boost the electronic conductivity of these cathodes and enhance Na (K) ion transportation. Furthermore, the development and application of MVPF cathodes in SIBs at low temperatures are also outlined. Finally, we present a brief summary of the remaining challenges and corresponding strategies for the future development of MVPF cathodes.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) is an extremely promising sodium storage cathode material for sodium-ion batteries because of its stable structure, wide electrochemical window, and excellent electrochemical properties. Nevertheless, the low ionic and electronic conductivity resulting from the insulated PO43- structure limits its further development. In this work, the different valence states of Mnx+ ions (x = 2, 3, 4) doped NVPF were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. A series of tests and characterizations reveals that the doping of Mn ions (Mn2+, Mn3+, Mn4+) changes the crystal structure and also affects the residual carbon content, which further influences the electrochemical properties of NVPF-based materials. The sodiation/desodiation mechanism was also investigated. Among them, the as-prepared NVPF doped with Mn2+ delivers a high reversible discharge capacity (116.2 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C), and the capacity retention of 67.7% after 400 cycles at 1 C was obtained. Such excellent performance and facile modified methods will provide new design ideas for the development of secondary batteries.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2FO2 is a promising candidate for practical use as a positive electrode material in Na-ion batteries thanks to its high voltage and excellent structural stability upon cycling. However, its limited intrinsic transport properties limit its performance at fast charge/discharge rates. In this work, two efficient approaches are presented to optimize the electrical conductivity of the electrode material: particle nanosizing and particle coating with an ionic liquid (IL). The former reveals that particle downsizing from micrometer to nanometer range improves the electronic conductivity by more than two orders of magnitude, which greatly improves the rate capability without affecting the capacity retention. The second approch dealing with an original surface modification by applying an IL coating strongly enhances the ionic mobility and offers new perspectives to improve the energy storage performance by designing the electrode materials' surface composition.

Abstract
Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 has attracted wide attention due to its high voltage platform, and stable crystal structure. However, its application is limited by the low electronic conductivity and the ease formation of impurity. In this paper, the spherical Br-doped Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 /C is successfully obtained by a one-step spray drying technology. The hard template polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) supplements the loss of fluorine, forming porous structure that accelerates the infiltration of electrolyte. The soft template cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) enables doping of bromine and can also control the fluorine content, meanwhile, the self-assembly effect strengthens the structure and refines the size of spherical particles. The loss, compensation, and regulation mechanism of fluorine are investigated. The Br-doped Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 /C sphere exhibits superior rate capability with the capacities of 116.1, 105.1, and 95.2 mAh g-1 at 1, 10, and 30 C, and excellent cyclic performance with 98.3% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 10 C. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows weakened charge localization and enhanced conductivity, meanwhile the diffusion energy barrier of sodium ions is reduced with Br doping. This paper proposes a strategy to construct fluorine-containing polyanions cathode, which enables the precise regulation of structure and morphology, thus leading to superior electrochemical performance.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)2F3 is a typical NASICON structure with a high voltage plateau and capacity. Nevertheless, its applications are limited due to its low conductivity and poor rate performance. In this study, nitrogen-boron co-doped carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF-CNB) was prepared by a simple sol-gel method using an ionic liquid (1-vinyl-3-methyl imidazole tetrafluoroborate) as a source of nitrogen and boron for the first time. The morphology and electrochemical properties of NVPF-CNB composites were investigated. The results show that a nitrogen-boron co-doped carbon layer could increase the electron and ion diffusion rate, reduce internal resistance, and help alleviate particle agglomeration. NVPF-CNB-30 exhibited better rate performance under 5C and 10C charge/discharge with initial reversible capacities of 99 and 90 mA h g-1, respectively. Furthermore, NVPF-CNB-30 illustrates excellent cyclic performance with the capacity retention rate reaching 91.9% after 500 cycles at 5C, as well as a capacity retention rate of about 95.5% after 730 cycles at 10C. The evolution of the material's structure during charge/discharge processes studied by in situ X-ray diffraction confirms the stable structure of nitrogen-boron co-doped carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3. Co-doping of nitrogen and boron also provides more active sites on the surface of Na3V2(PO4)2F3, revealing a new strategy for the modification of sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
High-voltage sodium metal batteries are a highly intriguing battery technology in view of their resource sustainability, cost efficiency, and ultrahigh energy density. However, developing a high-performance electrolyte, compatible with both high-voltage cathodes and highly reactive sodium metal anodes, is extremely challenging. In this work, we delicately formulate a ternary phosphate electrolyte, composing of a cost-effective sodium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide salt, a nonflammable triethyl phosphate (TEP) solvent, and a fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) co-solvent. By rationally tailoring the TEP/FEC ratio, the ternary phosphate electrolyte displays a well-balanced performance, not only enabling highly efficient sodium deposition (an average Coulombic efficiency of 95.7% for Na//Cu cells) but also inheriting the intrinsic anodic stability (≥4.5 V vs Na+/Na) and nonflammability of phosphates. As a consequence, high-voltage Na3V2(PO4)2F3 cathode-based sodium metal cells (Na3V2(PO4)2F3//Na) deliver remarkable cyclic stability (97.9% capacity retention after 300 cycles), which is among the best for Na3V2(PO4)2F3-based batteries. This work may guide the electrolyte design principles and is highly enlightening in developing high energy density sodium-based batteries.

Abstract
Impossible voltage plateau regulation for the cathode materials with fixed active elemental center is a pressing issue hindering the development of Na-superionic-conductor (NASICON)-type Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 (NVPF) cathodes in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a high-entropy substitution strategy, to alter the detailed crystal structure of NVPF without changing the central active V atom, is pioneeringly utilized, achieving simultaneous electronic conductivity enhancement and diffusion barrier reduction for Na+ , according to theoretical calculations. The as-prepared carbon-free high-entropy Na3 V1.9 (Ca,Mg,Al,Cr,Mn)0.1 (PO4 )2 F3 (HE-NVPF) cathode can deliver higher mean voltage of 3.81 V and more advantageous energy density up to 445.5 Wh kg-1 , which is attributed by the diverse transition-metal elemental substitution in high-entropy crystalline. More importantly, high-entropy introduction can help realize disordered rearrangement of Na+ at Na(2) active sites, thereby to refrain from unfavorable discharging behaviors at low-voltage region, further lifting up the mean working voltage to realize a full Na-ion storage at the high voltage plateau. Coupling with a hard carbon (HC) anode, HE-NVPF//HC SIB full cells can deliver high specific energy density of 326.8 Wh kg-1 at 5 C with the power density of 2178.9 W kg-1 . This route means the unlikely potential regulation in NASICON-type crystal with unchangeable active center becomes possible, inspiring new ideas on elevating the mean working voltage for SIB cathodes.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have aroused intense research and academic interest due to the natural abundance and cost-effectiveness of sodium resources. Presently, cathode materials based on the Na3(VO1-xPO4)2F1+2x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1, NVPF1+2x) polyanionic framework show intriguing electrochemical performances toward practical and advanced SIBs due to its high operating voltage (>3.9 V) and high energy density (>500 Wh kg-1). Different from conventional approaches focusing on delicate morphology design, metal ion substitution, and the conductive matrix's incorporation to overcome the low intrinsic electrical conductivity, here we adopt a one-step microwave-assisted hydrothermal approach to optimize the electrochemical performances of NVPF1+2x via manipulating its phase compositions with different vanadium sources and distinguishing the tetragonal (I4/mmm) symmetry of the Na3(VOPO4)2F phase from the orthorhombic symmetry (Amam) of the Na3V2(PO4)2F3 phase. The introduction of the conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) framework and its impacts on the phase compositions were systematically investigated. The rGO framework with different calcination temperature can alter the phase composition and the electrical conductivity of NVPF1+2x cathodes significantly, thus having a great impact on their electrochemical performances. Galvanostatic charge/discharge, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique are adopted to compare their electrode polarization and kinetics difference and show that NVPF@rGO-600 °C possesses a high rate, small polarization, and fast kinetics electrochemical properties. This work provides new insights into manipulating phase compositions of the NVPF1+2x cathode by modulating the synthesis conditions and revealing their synergistic effect with a rGO conductive framework toward a superior rate capability and more realistic practical applications for SIBs.

Abstract
To mitigate the associated challenges of instability and capacity improvement in Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 (NVPF), rationally designed uniformly distributed hollow spherical NVPF and coating the surface of NVPF with ultrathin (≈2 nm) amorphous TiO2 by atomic layer deposition is demonstrated. The coating facilitates higher mobility of the ion through the cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) and enables higher capacity during cycling. The TiO2 @NVPF exhibit discharge capacity of >120 mAhg-1 , even at 1C rates, and show lower irreversible capacity in the first cycle. Further, nearly 100% capacity retention after rate performance in high current densities and 99.9% coulombic efficiency after prolonged cycling in high current density is reported. The improved performance in TiO2 @NVPF is ascribed to the passivation behavior of TiO2 coating which protects the surface of NVPF from volume expansion, significantly less formation of carbonates, and decomposition of electrolyte, which is also validated through post cycling analysis. The study shows the importance of ultrathin surface protection artificial CEI for advanced sodium-ion battery cathodes. The protection layer is diminishing parasitic reaction, which eventually enhances the Na ion participation in reaction and stabilizes the cathode structure.

Abstract
Attempts to utilize lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale electrochemical energy storage systems have achieved initial success, and solid-state LIBs using metallic lithium as the anode have also been well developed. However, the sharply increased demands/costs and the limited reserves of the two most important metal elements (Li & Co) for LIBs have raised concerns about future development. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) equipped with advanced cobalt-free cathodes show great potential in solving both "lithium panic" and "cobalt panic", and have made remarkable progress in recent years. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recent advances of high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials for advanced SIBs, systematically analyze the conflicts of structural/electrochemical stability with intrinsic insufficiencies of cobalt-free cathode materials, and extensively discuss the strategies of constructing stable cobalt-free cathode materials by making full use of non-cobalt transition-metal elements and suitable crystal structures, all of which aim to provide insights into the key factors (e.g., phase transformation, particle cracks, crystal defects, lattice distortion, lattice oxygen oxidation, morphology, transition-metal migration/dissolution, and the synergistic effects of composite structures) that can determine the stability of cobalt-free cathode materials, provide guidelines for future research, and stimulate more interest on constructing high-performance cobalt-free cathode materials.

Abstract
A NASICON-based Na3V2(PO4)2F3 (NVPF) cathode material is reported herein as a potential symmetric cell electrode material. The symmetric cell was active from 0 to 3.5 V and showed a capacity of 85 mAh/g at 0.1 C. With cycling, the NVPF symmetric cell showed a very long and stable cycle life, having a capacity retention of 61% after 1000 cycles at 1 C. The diffusion coefficient calculated from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) was found to be ~10-9-10-11, suggesting a smooth diffusion of Na+ in the NVPF symmetric cell. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) carried out during cycling showed increases in bulk resistance, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) resistance, and charge transfer resistance with the number of cycles, explaining the origin of capacity fade in the NVPF symmetric cell. Finally, the postmortem analysis of the symmetric cell after 1000 cycles at a 1 C rate indicated that the intercalation/de-intercalation of sodium into/from the host structure occurred without any major structural destabilization in both the cathode and anode. However, there was slight distortion in the cathode structure observed, which resulted in capacity loss of the symmetric cell. The promising electrochemical performance of NVPF in the symmetric cell makes it attractive for developing long-life and cost-effective batteries.

Abstract
There are still many problems that hinder the development of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), including poor rate performance, short-term cycle lifespan, and inferior low-temperature property. Herein, excellent Na-storage performance in fluorophosphate (Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 F3 ) cathode is achieved by lattice regulation based on charge balance theory. Lattice regulation of aliovalent Mn2+ for V3+ increases both electronic conductivity and Na+ -migration kinetics. Because of the maintaining of electrical neutrality in the material, aliovalent Mn2+ -introduced leads to the coexistence of V3+ and V4+ from charge balance theory. It decreases the particle size and improves the structural stability, suppressing the large lattice distortion during cathode reaction processes. These multiple effects enhance the specific capacity (123.8 mAh g-1 ), outstanding high-rate (68% capacity retention at 20 C), ultralong cycle (only 0.018% capacity attenuation per cycle over 1000 cycles at 1 C) and low-temperature (96.5% capacity retention after 400 cycles at -25 °C) performances of Mn2+ -induced Na3 V1.98 Mn0.02 (PO4 )2 F3 when used as cathode in SIBs. Importantly, a feasible sodium-ion full battery is assembled, achieving outstanding rate capability and cycle stability. The strategy of aliovalent ion-induced lattice regulation constructs cathode materials with superior performances, which is available to improve other electrode materials for energy storage systems.

Abstract
A general polymer-assisted spinodal decomposition strategy is used to prepare hierarchically porous sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON)-structured polyanion-type materials (e.g., Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 , Li3 V2 (PO4 )3 , K3 V2 (PO4 )3 , Na4 MnV(PO4 )3 , and Na2 TiV(PO4 )3 ) in a tetrahydrofuran/ethanol/H2 O synthesis system. Depending on the boiling point of solvents, the selective evaporation of the solvents induces both macrophase separation via spinodal decomposition and mesophase separation via self-assembly of inorganic precursors and amphiphilic block copolymers, leading to the formation of hierarchically porous structures. The resulting hierarchically porous Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 possessing large specific surface area (≈77 m2 g-1 ) and pore volume (≈0.272 cm3 g-1 ) shows a high specific capacity of 117.6 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C achieving the theoretical value and a long cycling life with 77% capacity retention over 1000 cycles at 5 C. This method presented here can open a facile avenue to synthesize other hierarchically porous polyanion-type materials.

Abstract
Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C composite materials are synthesized with various carbon sources via a simple spray-drying method in this study, and the effect of carbon sources on structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties of Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C materials are investigated in detail. XRD and SEM results indicate that the reduction ability of carbon sources has a key impact on the structure and morphology of Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C composite materials. Among these Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C materials, the sample prepared with ascorbic acid presents a uniform hollow spherical architecture. Electrochemical analysis demonstrates that the Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C sample prepared with ascorbic acid has optimal electrochemical performance. The sample shows high discharge capacities of 95.1 and 48.1 mAh g−1 at 0.05C and 1C rates, respectively, and it exhibits an improved cycle stability (91.7% retention after 100 cycles at 0.5C), which are superior to Na2Fe0.6Mn0.4PO4F/C materials prepared with other carbon sources. This study demonstrates that the reduction ability of carbon sources significantly influences the electrochemical properties of fluorophosphate/C composite materials. This work also provides a promising strategy to obtain high performance cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium shortage and the growing demand for electricity storage has encouraged researchers to look for new alternative energy-storage materials. Due to abundant potassium resources, similar redox potential to lithium metal, and low cost, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), as one of the promising alternatives, have been applied in energy-storage research recently. However, PIBs do not have adequate competition in their electrochemical efficiency because the molar volume of potassium ions is higher than those in lithium and sodium ions. Therefore, for better application and development of PIBs, finding suitable anode and cathode materials is currently the most important task. The latest developments in electrode materials for PIBs have been outlined in depth in this review. It focuses on the structural design and synthetic methods for novel electrode materials, ingenious optimization and tuning strategies, and explains the intrinsic reaction mechanism. The effects of organic electrolytes and aqueous electrolytes on battery systems are compared and clarified. Finally, theoretical and viable insights are given to the challenges posed by the creation and practical application of PIBs in the future.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are heralded as promising candidates for grid-scale energy storage systems due to their low cost and abundant sodium resources. Excellent rate capacity and outstanding cycling stability are always the goals for SIBs. Up to now, nearly all attention has been focused on the control of morphology and structure of electrode materials, but the influence of binders on their performance is neglected, especially in cathode materials. Herein, using Na3V2(PO4)2O2F (NVPOF) as a cathode material, the influence of four different binders (sodium alginate, SA; carboxymethylcellulose sodium, CMC; poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF; and poly(acrylic latex), LA133) on its electrochemical performance is studied. As a result, when using SA as the binder, the electrochemical performance of the NVPOF electrode is improved significantly, which is mainly because of the high water solubility, rich carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, and high adhesive and cohesive properties of the SA binder, leading to the uniform distribution of active materials NVPOF and carbon black in electrodes, good integrity, low polarization, and superior kinetic properties of the NVPOF electrodes, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique. More importantly, when coupled with a hard carbon anode, the fabricated sodium-ion full cells also exhibit excellent rate performance, thus providing a preview of their practical application. This work shows that the battery performance can be improved by matching suitable binder systems, which is believed to have great importance for the further optimization of the electrochemical performance of SIBs.
