Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) has attracted considerable attention as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). But its insufficient electronic conductivity, limited capacities, and fragile structure hinder its extended application, particularly in scenarios involving rapid charging and prolonged cycling. A hybrid cathode material has been developed to integrate both amorphous and crystalline phases, with the objective of improving the rate performance and Na storage capacity by leveraging bi-phase coordination. Consequently, the combination of amorphous and crystalline phases enhanced the kinetics of Na-ion diffusion, resulting in a 1-2 orders of magnitude enhancement in diffusion dynamics. Furthermore, the existence of amorphous states has been demonstrated to elevate the active Na2 site content, resulting in an increased reversible capacity. This assertion is substantiated by evidence derived from solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ss-NMR) and electrochemical characteristics. The innovative bi-phase collaborative material provides a specific capacity of 114 mAh/g at 0.2 C, exceptional rate performance of 82 mAh/g at 10 C, and remarkable long-term cycle stability, retaining 95 mAh/g at 5 C even after 300 cycles. In conclusion, the homogeneous hybridization of amorphous and crystalline phases presents itself as a promising and effective strategy for improving Na-ion storage capacity of cathodes in SIBs.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3(NVP) is an ideal cathode material for sodium ion battery due to its stable three-dimensional frame structure and high operating voltage. However, the low intrinsic conductivity and serious structural collapse limit its further application. In this work, a simultaneous optimized Na3V1.96Ru0.04(PO4)3/C@CNTs cathode material is synthesized by a simple sol-gel method. Specifically, the ionic radius of Ru3+ is slightly larger than that of V3+ (0.68 Å vs 0.64 Å), which not only ensures the feasibility of Ru3+ replacing V3+ site, but also appropriately expands the migration channel of sodium ions in NVP and stabilizes the structure, effectively improving the diffusion efficiency of sodium ions. Moreover, CNTs construct a three-dimensional conductive network between the grains, reducing the impedance at the interface and effectively improving the electronic conductivity. Ex-situ XRD analysis at different SOC were performed to determine the change in the crystal structure of Ru3+doped Na3V2(PO4)3, and the refinement results simultaneously demonstrate the relatively low volume shrinkage value of less than 3 % during the de-intercalation process, further verifying the stabilized crystal construction after Ru3+ substitution. Furthermore, the ex-situ XRD/SEM/CV/EIS after cycling indicate the significantly improved kinetic characteristics and enhanced structural stability. Notably, the modified Na3V1.96Ru0.04(PO4)3/C@CNTs reveals superior rate capability and ultralong cyclic performance. It submits high capacities of 82.3/80.9 mAh g-1 at 80/120C and maintains 71.3/59.6 mAh g-1 after 14800/6250 cycles, indicating excellent retention ratios of 86.6 % and 73.6 %, respectively. This work provides a multi-modification strategy for the realization of high-performance cathode materials, which can be widely applied in the optimization of various materials.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) based on the multielectron reactions between V2+ and V5+ has been considered a promising cathode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, it still suffers from unsatisfactory stability, caused by the poor reversibility of the V5+/V4+ redox couple and structure evolution. Herein, we propos a strategy that combines high-entropy substitution and electrolyte optimization to boost the reversible multielectron reactions of NVP. The high reversibility of the V5+/V4+ redox couple and crystalline structure evolution are disclosed by in situ X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra and in situ X-ray diffraction. Meanwhile, the electrochemical reaction kinetics of high-entropy substitution NVP (HE-NVP) can be further improved in the diglyme-based electrolyte. These enable HE-NVP to deliver a superior electrochemical performance (capacity retention of 93.1% after 2000 cycles; a large reversible capacity of 120 mAh g-1 even at 5.0 A g-1). Besides, the long cycle life and high power density of the HE-NVP∥natural graphite full-cell configuration demonstrated the superiority of HE-NVP cathode in SIBs. This work highlights that the synergism of high-entropy substitution and electrolyte optimization is a powerful strategy to enhance the sodium-storage performance of polyanionic cathodes for SIBs.

Abstract
The urgent development of sodium ion batteries has stimulated the rapid innovation of sodium super ionic conductor-type Na3V2(PO4)3 materials with high energy density and ultra-high charge/discharge rates, where the bottlenecks are the activation of multi-electron reactions and the utilization of the third sodium ion. Herein, we design a trace topological doping strategy to introduce barium ions into crystal domains of Na3V2(PO4)3 to partially replace vanadium sites. Deep learning demonstrates that the violation of the inversion symmetry of vanadium by barium substitution can improve the structural stability and change the charge density distribution of vanadium, resulting in the re-distribution of surface electrons and supplying more possible migration paths for sodium ions. Simultaneously, the slight alteration of the crystal structure helps the positive shift of vanadium valence from +3 to +4, providing more multi-electron redox reactions. Among these candidates, NVBP-2 manifests a specific capacity of 65.1 mA h g-1 at 50C rate with superior charge-discharge capability and cycling performance. Moreover, it possesses decent long-term cycling stability with 81.2% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 50C. In summary, the results indicate that trace topological doping of alkaline metal ions in combination with deep learning has a novel ability to achieve sodium ion storage regulation for sodium ion batteries, which exquisitely provides a new perspective for screening cathode materials with high electrochemical performance.

Abstract
The two-phase reaction of Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 - Na1 V2 (PO4 )3 in Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (NVP) is hindered by low electronic and ionic conductivity. To address this problem, a surface-N-doped NVP encapsulating by N-doped carbon nanocage (N-NVP/N-CN) is rationally constructed, wherein the nitrogen is doped in both the surface crystal structure of NVP and carbon layer. The surface crystal modification decreases the energy barrier of Na+ diffusion from bulk to electrolyte, enhances intrinsic electronic conductivity, and releases lattice stress. Meanwhile, the porous architecture provides more active sites for redox reactions and shortens the diffusion path of ion. Furthermore, the new interphase of Na2 V2 (PO4 )3 is detected by in situ XRD and clarified by density functional theory (DFT) calculation with a lower energy barrier during the fast reversible electrochemical three-phase reaction of Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 - Na2 V2 (PO4 )3 - Na1 V2 (PO4 )3 . Therefore, as cathode of sodium-ion battery, the N-NVP/N-CN exhibited specific capacities of 119.7 and 75.3 mAh g-1 at 1 C and even 200 C. Amazingly, high capacities of 89.0, 86.2, and 84.6 mAh g-1 are achieved after overlong 10000 cycles at 20, 40, and 50 C, respectively. This approach provides a new idea for surface crystal modification to cast intermediate Na2 V2 (PO4 )3 phase for achieving excellent cycling stability and rate capability.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP), possessing good ionic conduction properties and high voltage plateau, has been deemed as the most prospective material for sodium ion batteries. However, the weak intrinsic electronic conductivity has hindered its further commercialization. Herein, an ingenious strategy of Bi3+ substitution at V3+ site in NVP system is proposed. The ionic radius of Bi3+ is slightly larger than that of V3+, which can further expand the crystal structure inside the NVP, thus accelerating the migration of Na+. Meanwhile, the appropriate amount of carbon coating and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) enwrapping construct an effective three-dimensional network, which provides a conductive framework for electronic transfer. Furthermore, the introduction of CNTs also inhibit the agglomeration of active grains during the sintering process, reducing the particle size and shortening the diffusion path of Na+. Comprehensively, the conductivity, ionic diffusion ability and structural stability of the modified Na3V2-xBix(PO4)3/C@CNTs (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) sample are significantly improved. The Na3V1.97Bi0.03(PO4)3/C@CNTs sample obtains a reversible capacity of 97.8 mAh g-1 at 12C and maintains a value of 80.6 mAh g-1 after 9000 ultra-long cycles. As for the super high rate at 80C, it exhibits a high capacity of 84.34 mAh g-1 and retains a capacity of 73.34 mAh g-1 after 6000 cycles. The superior electrochemical performance is derived from the enhancement of the crystal structure by Bi3+ doping and the highly conductive network consisting of carbon coating layers and enwrapped CNTs.

Abstract
Generally, the transport of electrons and Na+ is seriously constrained in Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) due to intense interactions of V-O and PO bonds. Besides, polyamide acid (PAA) is hardly used in the sol-gel route due to insolubility. This work develops a facile liquid synthesis strategy based on modified PAA, achieving in-situ construction of a porous N-doped carbon framework with rich defects to improve the kinetics of NVP. The addition of triethylamine (TEA) reacts with carboxyls in PAA to achieve acid-base neutralization, turning PAA into polyamide salts with good solubility. The special morphology construction mechanism of this unique system was observed by ex-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Specifically, PAA undergoes in-situ conversion into chain-like polyimide (PI) through a thermal polymerization mechanism during the pre-sintering process. Meanwhile, NVP precursors are evenly dispersed in the PI fibers, efficiently reducing the particle size. After the final treatment, the favorable porous carbon skeleton could be generated derived from the partial decomposition of PI, on which small active grains are in situ grown. The resulting N-doped carbon substrate contains rich defects, benefiting from the migration of Na+. Furthermore, the porous construction is conducive to alleviating the stress and strain generated by the high current impact, increasing the contact area between electrodes/electrolytes to improve the utilization efficiency of active substances. Comprehensively, the optimized samples exhibit a capacity of 82.1 mAh g-1 at 15C with a retention rate of 95.45 % after 350 cycles. It submits a capacity of 67.6 mAh g-1 at 90C and remains 52.2 mAh g-1 after 1500 cycles. Even in full cells, it reveals a value of 110.6 mAh g-1. This work guides the application of in-situ multiple modifications of polymers in electrode materials.

Abstract
Based on the favorable ionic conductivity and structural stability, sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) materials especially utilizing multivalent redox reaction of vanadium are one of the most promising cathodes in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). To further boost their application in large-scale energy storage production, a rational strategy is to tailor vanadium with earth-abundant and cheap elements (such as Fe, Mn), reducing the cost and toxicity of vanadium-based NASICON materials. Here, the Na3.05 V1.03 Fe0.97 (PO4 )3 (NVFP) is synthesized with highly conductive Ketjen Black (KB) by ball-milling assisted sol-gel method. The pearl-like KB branch chains encircle the NVFP (p-NVFP), the segregated particles possess promoted overall conductivity, balanced charge, and modulated crystal structure during electrochemical progress. The p-NVFP obtains significantly enhanced ion diffusion ability and low volume change (2.99%). Meanwhile, it delivers a durable cycling performance (87.7% capacity retention over 5000 cycles at 5 C) in half cells. Surprisingly, the full cells of p-NVFP reveal a remarkable capability of 84.9 mAh g-1 at 20 C with good cycling performance (capacity decay rate is 0.016% per cycle at 2 C). The structure modulation of the p-NVFP provides a rational design on the superiority of others to be put into practice.

Abstract
Na superionic conductor (NASICON) structured cathode materials with robust structural stability and large Na+ diffusion channels have aroused great interest in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, most of NASICON-type cathode materials exhibit redox reaction of no more than three electrons per formula, which strictly limits capacity and energy density. Herein, a series of NASICON-type Na3+x MnTi1-x Vx (PO4 )3 cathode materials are designed, which demonstrate not only a multi-electron reaction but also high voltage platform. With five redox couples from V5+/4+ (≈4.1 V), Mn4+/3+ (≈4.0 V), Mn3+/2+ (≈3.6 V), V4+/3+ (≈3.4 V), and Ti4+/3+ (≈2.1 V), the optimized material, Na3.2 MnTi0.8 V0.2 (PO4 )3 , realizes a reversible 3.2-electron redox reaction, enabling a high discharge capacity (172.5 mAh g-1 ) and an ultrahigh energy density (527.2 Wh kg-1 ). This work sheds light on the rational construction of NASICON-type cathode materials with multi-electron redox reaction for high-energy SIBs.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are essential for large-scale energy storage attributed to the high abundance of sodium. Polyanion Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) is a dominant cathode candidate for SIBs because of its high-voltage and sodium superionic conductor (NASICON) framework. However, the electrochemical performance of NVP is hindered by the inherently poor electronic conductivity, especially for extreme fast charging and long-duration cycling. Herein, we develop a facile one-step in-situ polycondensation method to synthesize the three-dimensional (3D) Na3V2(PO4)3/holey-carbon frameworks (NVP@C) by using melamine as carbon source. In this architecture, NVP crystals intergrown with the 3D holey-carbon frameworks provide rapid transport pathways for ion/electron transmission to increase the ultrahigh rate ability and cycle capability. Consequently, the NVP@C cathode possesses a high reversible capacity of 113.9 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and delivers an outstanding high-rate capability of 75.3 mAh g-1 at 6000 mA g-1. Moreover, it shows that the NVP@C cathode is able to display a volumetric energy density of 54 Wh L-1 at 6000 mA g-1 (31 Wh L-1 for NVP bulk), as well as excellent cycling performance of 65.4 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles at 2000 mA g-1. Furthermore, the NVP@C exhibits remarkable reversible capabilities of 81.9 mAh g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1 and 60.2 mAh g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 even at a low temperature of -15 °C. The structure of porous carbon frameworks combined with single crystal materials by in-situ polycondensation offers general guidelines for the design of sodium, lithium and potassium energy storage materials.

Abstract
Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (NVP) has been regarded as a potential cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its excellent structural stability and rapid Na+ conductivity. However, its electrochemical performances are restricted by the large bulk structure and poor electronic conductivity. The construction of porous NVP materials is a powerful method to improve the electrochemical properties. This concept aims to provide an overview of recent progress of porous NVP materials for SIBs. Herein, the synthetic strategies and formation mechanisms of porous NVP materials as well as the relationship between the porous structures and electrochemical performances of NVP materials are reviewed. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for the preparation of porous NVP materials in this field are outlined.

Abstract
Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have been considered as potential candidates for large-scale energy storage, where O3-type Na-based layered oxide cathodes have attracted great attention due to their high capacity and low cost. However, O3-NaxTMO2 materials still suffer from insufficient air stability, which could lead to deteriorative electrochemical properties and thus hinder their practical application. In this work, a series of Al-doped O3-NaFe(1/3-x)Ni1/3Mn1/3AlxO2 cathodes prepared by a co-precipitation method were investigated to enhance their electrochemical performance and air stability through stabilizing their structural and interface chemical properties. The Al-doped O3-NaFe(1/3-0.01)Ni1/3Mn1/3Al0.01O2 (NFNMA0.01) cathode delivers a comparable capacity of 138 mAh g-1 and keeps a capacity retention of 85.88% after 50 cycles at 0.2 C, while the undoped O3-NaFe1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 (NFNM) can only keep a capacity retention of 71.02%, although with an initial capacity of 141 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C. For the air stability, the capacity decay rates are 58.87 and 5.07% for the undoped NFNM and Al-doped NFNMA0.01 after the air exposure for 30 days, respectively. The greatly decaying electrochemical performance could be due to the formation of carbonates during air exposure, which can be efficiently suppressed by Al doping. The doped Al3+ has been confirmed to be inserted into the NFNM crystal lattice, inducing the reduced values of lattice parameters a and c due to the smaller ionic radius of Al3+ (53.5 pm) vs Fe3+ (55.0 pm). This study demonstrates that Al doping plays an important role in the air stability and cycling stability for layered cathode materials, which offers an efficient strategy to optimize the material design for their practical application in NIBs.
