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.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 664:381-388.

Abstract
Na3MnTi(PO4)3 (NMTP) emerges as a promising cathode material with high-performance for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Nevertheless, its development has been limited by several challenges, including poor electronic conductivity, the Mn3+ Jahn-Teller effect, and the presence of a Na+/Mn2+ cation mixture. To address these issues, we have developed a cation/anion-dual regulation strategy to activate the redox reactions involving manganese, thereby significantly enhancing the performance of NMTP. This strategy simultaneously enhances the structural dynamics and facilitates rapid ion transport at high rates by inducing the formation of sodium vacancy. The combined effects of these modifications lead to a substantial improvement in specific capacity (79.1 mAh/g), outstanding high-rate capabilities (35.9 mAh/g at 10C), and an ultralong cycle life (only 0.040 % capacity attenuation per cycle over 250 cycles at 1C for Na3.34Mn1.2Ti0.8(PO3.98F0.02)3) when used as a cathode material in SIBs. Furthermore, its performance in full cell demonstrates impressive rate capability (44.4 mAh/g at 5C) and exceptional cycling stability (with only 0.116 % capacity decay per cycle after 150 cycles at 1C), suggesting its potential for practical applications. This work presents a dual regulation strategy targeting different sites, offering a significant advancement in the development of NASICON phosphate cathodes for SIBs.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathode materials with the advantages of long cycle life and superior thermal stability have been considered promising cathode candidates for SIBs. However, the unsatisfactory energy density derived from low theoretical capacity and operating voltage (3.35 V vs. Na+/Na, based on the V3+/V4+ redox couple) inevitably limits their practical application. Therefore, the activation of the V4+/V5+ redox couple (∼4.0 V vs. Na+/Na) in NVP-based cathode materials to boost the energy density of SIBs has attracted extensive attention. Herein, we first analyze the challenges of activation of the V4+/V5+ redox couple in NVP-based cathode materials. Subsequently, the recent achievement of NVP-based cathode materials with activated V4+/V5+ redox reactions for SIBs is overviewed. Finally, further research directions of high voltage V4+/V5+ redox reactions in NVP-based cathodes are proposed. This review provides valuable guidance for developing high energy density NVP-based cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
The stable phase transformation during electrochemical progress drives extensive research on vanadium-based polyanions in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), especially Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP). And the electron transfer between V3+/4+ redox couple in NVP could be generally achieved, owing to the confined crystal variation during battery service. However, the more favorable V4+/5+ redox couple is still in hard-to-access situation due to the high barrier and further brings about the corresponding inefficiency in energy densities. In this work, the multilevel redox in NVP frame (MLNP) alters reaction pathway to undergo homeostatic solid solution process and breaks the high barrier of V4+/5+ at high voltage, taking by progressive transition metal (V, Fe, Ti, and Cr) redox couple. The diversified reaction paths across diffusion barriers could be realized by distinctive release/uptake of inactive Na1 site, confirmed by the calculations of density functional theory. Thereby its volume change is merely 1.73% during the multielectron-transfer process (≈2.77 electrons). MLNP cathode could achieve an impressive energy density of 440 Wh kg-1, driving the leading development of MLNP among other NASICON structure SIBs. The integration of multiple redox couples with low strain modulates the reaction pathway effectively and will open a new avenue for fabricating high-performance cathodes in SIBs.

Abstract
Na3V2(PO4)3 is a promising high-voltage cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) and organic sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the poor rate capability, specific capacity, and cycling stability severely hamper it from further development. In this work, Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) with vanadium nitride (VN) quantum dots encapsulated by nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) nanoflowers (NVP/VN@NC) are manufactured as cathode using in situ nitridation, carbon coating, and structural adjustment. The outer NC layer increases the higher electronic conductivity of NVP. Furthermore, VN quantum dots with high theoretical capacity not only improve the specific capacity of pristine NVP, but also serve as abundant "pins" between NVP and NC to strengthen the stability of NVP/VN@NC heterostructure. For Zn-ion storage, these essential characteristics allow NVP/VN@NC to attain a high reversible capacity of 135.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, and a capacity retention of 91% after 2000 cycles at 5 A g-1. Meanwhile, NVP/VN@NC also demonstrates to be a stable cathode material for SIBs, which can reach a high reversible capacity of 124.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, and maintain 92% of initial capacity after 11000 cycles at 5 A g-1. This work presents a feasible path to create innovative high-voltage cathodes with excellent reaction kinetics and structural stability.

Abstract
A Na4MnV(PO4)3 (NMVP) cathode is regarded as a promising cathode candidate for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, issues such as low electronic conductivity and partial cation dissolution contribute to high polarization and structure distortion. Herein, we engineered the local electron density and reaction kinetic properties of NMVP cathodes with varying oxygen vacancies by introducing varying amounts of Zr doping and carbon coating. The optimized sample exhibited a high-rate capacity of 71.8 mAh g-1 at 30 C (83.1% capacity retention after 1000 cycles) and excellent performance over a wide temperature range (84.1 mAh g-1 at 60 °C and 61.4 mAh g-1 at -30 °C). In situ X-ray diffraction technology confirmed a redox solid solution and a two-phase reaction mechanism, revealing minor changes in cell volume and slight strain variations after Zr doping, effectively suppressing the structural distortion. Theoretical calculations illustrated that Zr doping largely shrinks the band gap of NMVP, enriches local electron density, and slightly alters the local element distribution and bond lengths. Moreover, full-cells have shown high energy density (259.9 Wh kg-1) and outstanding cycling stability (200 cycles). The work provides fresh insights into the synergistic effect of strain suppressing and interface engineering in promoting the development of wide temperature range and long-calendar-life SIBs.

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
Encapsulating nanomaterials in carbon is one of the main ways to increase the cathode stability, but it is difficult to simultaneously optimize the rate capacity and enhance durability derived from the insufficient ion transport channels and deficient ion adsorption sites that constipate the ion transport and pseudocapacitive reaction. Herein, we develop the ligand-confined growth strategy to encapsulate the nano-Na3V2(PO4)3 cathode material in various carbon channels (microporous, mesoporous, and macroporous) to discriminate the optimal carbon channels for synchronously improving rate capacity and holding the high-rate cycle stability. Benefiting from the unobstructed ion/charge transport channels and flexible maskant created by the interconnected mesoporous carbon channels, the prepared Na3V2(PO4)3 nanoparticles confined in mesoporous carbon channel (Mes-NVP/C) achieve a discharge-specific capacity of 70 mAh g-1 even at the ultrahigh rate of 100 C, higher than those of the Na3V2(PO4)3 nanoparticles confined in microporous and macroporous carbon channel (Micr-NVP/C and Macr-NVP/C), respectively. Significantly, the capacity retention rate of Mes-NVP/C after 5000 cycles at 20 C is as high as 90.48%, exceeding most of the reported work. These findings hold great promise for traditional cathode materials to synergistically realize fast charging ability and long cycle life.

Abstract
The stable three-dimensional framework and high operating voltage of sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type Na3V2(PO4)3 has the potential to work with long cycle life and high-rate performance; however, it suffers from the poor intrinsic electronic conductivity and low energy density. Herein, Ga3+ is introduced into Na3V2(PO4)3 to activate the V4+/V5+ redox couple at a high potential of 4.0 V for enhancing energy density of the materials (Na3V2-xGax(PO4)3). After the partial substitution of Ga3+ for V3+, three redox couples (V2+/V3+, V3+/V4+ and V4+/V5+) of V are reversibly converted in the voltage range of 1.4-4.2 V, suggesting multi-electrons (>2e-) involved in the reversible reaction, and simultaneously the electronic conductivity of the materials is effectively enhanced. As a result, the cathode with x = 0.75 exhibits excellent electrochemical properties: in the voltage range of 2.2-4.2 V, delivering an initial capacity of 105 mAh/g at 1C with a capacity retention rate of 92.3% after 400 cycles, and providing a stable reversible capacity of 88.3 mAh/g at 40C; and in the voltage range of 1.4-4.2 V, presenting the reversible capacity 152.3 mAh/g at 1C (497.6 Wh kg-1), and cycling stably for 1000 cycles at 20C with a capacity decay of 0.02375% per cycle. It is found that the Na3V2-xGax(PO4)3 cathodes possess the sodium storage mechanism of single-phase and bi-phase reactions. This investigation presents a useful strategy to enhance the energy density and cycling life of NASICON-structured polyanionic phosphates by activating high-potential V4+/V5+ redox couple.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for sustainable energy and concerns about the scarcity of lithium resources, sodium and potassium ion batteries have emerged as promising alternative energy storage technologies. MXene, as a novel two-dimensional material, possesses exceptional electrical conductivity, high surface area, and tunable structural features that make it an ideal candidate for high-performance electrode materials. However, its limited theoretical capacity hinders its widespread application. To overcome this limitation, MXene has been combined with other materials through synergistic effects between different components to enhance the overall electrochemical performance and expand its application in sodium/potassium ion batteries. Recently, substantial advancements have been realized in the exploration of MXene-based composites as energy storage materials, encompassing their synthesis, design, and the comprehension of charge storage mechanisms. This paper aims to propose a comprehensive summary of the latest developments in MXene-based composites as electrode materials for sodium ion batteries and potassium ion batteries, with a particular emphasis on the enhanced physicochemical properties resulting from composite formation. Moreover, the challenges faced by MXene materials in sodium ion batteries and potassium ion batteries are thoroughly discussed, and future research directions to further advance this field are proposed.

In-situ constructing porous N-doped carbon skeleton with rich defects from modified polyamide acid to boost the high performance of Na 3V 2(PO 4) 3 cathode for full sodium-ion batteries. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 656:513-527.

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
Recently, all-solid-state sodium batteries (Na-ASSBs) have received increased interest owing to their high safety and potential of high energy density. The potential of Na-ASSBs based on sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-structured Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 (Na3 VP) cathodes have been proven by their high capacity and a long cycling stability closely related to the microstructural evolution. However, the detailed kinetics of the electrochemical processes in the cathodes is still unclear. In this work, the sodiation/desodiation process of Na3 VP is first investigated using in situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The intermediate Na2 V2 (PO4 )3 (Na2 VP) phase with the P21 /c space group, which would be inhibited by constant electron beam irradiation, is observed at the atomic scale. With the calculated volume change and the electrode-electrolyte interface after cycling, it can be concluded that the Na2 VP phase reduces the lattice mismatch between Na3 VP and NaV2 (PO4 )3 (NaVP), preventing structural collapse. Based on the density functional theory calculation (DFT), the Na+ ion migrates more rapidly in the Na2 VP structure, which facilitates the desodiation and sodiation processes. The formation of Na2 VP phase lowers the formation energy of NaVP. This study demonstrates the dynamic evolution of the Na3 VP structure, paving the way for an in-depth understanding of electrode materials for energy-storage applications.

Abstract
Manganese-based layered oxides are prospective cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost and high theoretical capacities. The biphasic intergrowth structure of layered cathode materials is essential for improving the sodium storage performance, which is attributed to the synergistic effect between the two phases. However, the in-depth formation mechanism of biphasic intergrowth materials remains unclear. Herein, the layered/tunnel intergrowth Na0.6MnO2 (LT-NaMO) as a model material was successfully prepared, and their formation processes and electrochemical performance were systematically investigated. In situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction displays the detailed evolution process and excellent thermal stability of the layered/tunnel intergrowth structure. Furthermore, severe structural strain and large lattice volume changes are significantly mitigated by the interlocking effect between the phase interfaces, which further enhances the structural stability of the cathode materials during the charging/discharging process. Consequently, the LT-NaMO cathode displays fast Na+ transport kinetics with a remarkable capacity retention of ∼70.5% over 300 cycles at 5C, and its assembled full cell with hard carbon also exhibits high energy density. These findings highlight the superior electrochemical performance of intergrowth materials due to interlocking effects between layered and tunnel structures and also provide unique insights into the construction of intergrowth cathode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Na3 V2 (PO4 )2 O2 F (NVPOF) is widely accepted as advanced cathode material for sodium-ion batteries with high application prospects ascribing to its considerable specific capacity and high working voltage. However, challenges in the full realization of its theoretical potential lie in the novel structural design to accelerate its Na+ diffusivity. Herein, considering the important role of polyanion groups in constituting Na+ diffusion tunnels, boron (B) is doped at the P-site to obtain Na3 V2 (P2- x Bx O8 )O2 F (NVP2- x Bx OF). As evidenced by density functional theory modeling, B-doping induces a dramatic decrease in the bandgap. Delocalization of electrons on the O anions in BO4 tetrahedra is observed in NVP2- x Bx OF, which dramatically lowers the electrostatic resistance experienced by Na+ . As a result, the Na+ diffusivity in the NVP2- x Bx OF cathode has accelerated up to 11 times higher, which secures a high rate property (67.2 mAh g-1 at 60 C) and long cycle stability (95.9% capacity retention at 108.6 mAh g-1 at 10 C after 1000 cycles). The assembled NVP1.90 B0.10 OF//Se-C full cell demonstrates exceptional power/energy density (213.3 W kg-1 @ 426.4 Wh kg-1 and 17970 W kg-1 @ 119.8 Wh kg-1 ) and outstanding capability to withstand long cycles (90.1% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 105.3 mAh g-1 at 10 C).

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
Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) is regarded as one of the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, it suffers from a dense bulk structure and low intrinsic electronic conductivity, which lead to limited electrochemical performances. Herein, we propose a surfactant-assisted molding strategy to regulate the pore-forming process in NVP/C composite cathode materials. More precisely, the forming process of the pores in NVP could be easily controlled by utilizing the huge difference in critical micelle concentration of a surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) in water and ethanol. By reasonably modulating the ratio of water and ethanol in the solution, the as-synthesized NVP/C sample exhibited a three-dimensional interconnected structure with hierarchical micro/meso/macro-pores. Benefiting from these hierarchical porous structures in NVP/C, the structural stability, contact surface with the electrolyte, and electronic/ionic conductivity were improved simultaneously; whereby the optimized porous NVP/C sample exhibited an excellent high-rate performance (61.3 mA h g-1 at 10 C) and superior cycling stability (90.2% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 10 C).

Abstract
Na3V2O2(PO4)2F (NVOPF) is gaining attention as a high-energy cathode candidate for sodium-ion batteries owing to its wide operating voltage, high energy density and excellent thermal stability. However, its intrinsic poor electrical conductivity results in its current sodium-storage performance being far below expectations. Herein, two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets with excellent electrical conductivity are introduced to construct an interconnected conductive framework to tightly encapsulate NVOPF nanoparticles. The Ti3C2Tx nanosheets ensure superior electronic contacts, along with inhibiting the agglomeration of NVOPF nanoparticles, thus accelerating electron and ion transfer during sodium-ion de/intercalation and maximizing the storage capacity. As a result, the optimized NVOPF/Ti3C2Tx cathode exhibits high rate capabilities (111 mA h g-1 at 0.2 C and 78 mA h g-1 at 20 C), with an impressively high capacity retention of 74.8% over a wide temperature range (from -20 to 20 °C). Additionally, the assembled sodium-ion full cell provides a highly reversible capacity of 116 mA h g-1 at 1 C, with a capacity retention of 67.2% after 100 cycles. These inspiring results provide new insights for improving the charge-transfer kinetics of the NVOPF cathode and this methodology may be extended to other cathode materials.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have aroused great research interest due to their high theoretical capacity and high energy density. To further develop lithium-sulfur batteries, it has become more and more important to put more efforts in promoting the adsorption and rapid catalytic conversion of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs). Herein, Ni/Co bimetallic phosphides were encapsulated into nitrogen-doped dual carbon conductive network (NiCoP@NC) by annealing and phosphorizing Ni-ZIF-67 precursor at high temperature. Due to their numerous co-adsorption/catalytic sites and high conductivity of carbon skeleton, the encapsulated Ni/Co phosphides particles could significantly enhance the anchoring and catalytic conversion of LiPSs and provide ultrafast channels for Li+ transport. When used as a modified separator for LSBs, the cells displayed superior performance with an initial capacity of 1083.4 m Ah g-1 at 0.5 C and outstanding cycle stability with a capacity decay rate of only 0.09% per cycle for 300 cycles. Besides, even at high sulfur loading (3.2 mg cm-2), they still present satisfactory performance. Therefore, this study presents a novel strategy on how to use MOF derived bimetallic phosphides with chemical adsorption and catalytic conversion of polysulfides for high-power advanced lithium-sulfur batteries.
