Abstract
A Li-rich polyanionic compound based on V3+ with a previously unknown structure, Li5VF4(SO4)2, has been developed as a high-voltage cathode material for Li-ion batteries. The solvothermal preparation of this material, crystal structure solution, and initial electrochemical characterization are presented. An analysis based on density functional theory electronic structure calculations suggests that a high voltage close to 5 V is required to extract two Li ions and to reach the oxidation state of V5+. However, the use of conventional carbonate-based electrolytes, which exhibit increasing degradation above a potential of 4.3 V, does not permit the full capacity of this compound to be achieved at this time.

Abstract
Anhydrous compounds are crucially important for many technological applications, such as achieving high performance in lithium/sodium cells, but are often challenging to synthesize under hydrothermal conditions. Herein we report that a modified solvo-/hydro-fluorothermal method with fluoride-rich and water-deficient condition is highly effective for synthesizing anhydrous compounds by the replacement of hydroxyl groups and water molecules with fluorine. Two anhydrous phosphate germanium fluorides, namely, Na3[GeF4(PO4)] and K4[Ge2F9(PO4)], with chainlike structures involving multiple fluorine substitutions, were synthesized using the modified solvo-/hydro-fluorothermal method. The crystal structure of Na3[GeF4(PO4)] is constructed by the common single chains ∞1{[GeF4(PO4)]3-} built from alternating GeO2F4 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra. For K4[Ge2F9(PO4)], it takes the same single chain in Na3[GeF4(PO4)] as the backbone but has additional flanking GeOF5 octahedra via an O-corner of the PO4 groups, resulting in a dendrite zigzag single chain ∞1{[Ge2F9(PO4)]4-}. The multiple fluorine substitutions in these compounds not only force them to adopt the low-dimensional structures because of the "tailor effect" but also improve their thermal stabilities. The thermal behavior of Na3[GeF4(PO4)] was investigated by an in situ powder X-ray diffraction experiment from room temperature to 700 °C. The modified solvo-/hydro-fluorothermal method is also shown to be effective in producing the most germanium-rich compounds in the germanophosphate system.
