Na$_{4}$Co$_{3}$(PO$_{4}$)$_{2}$P$_{2}$O$_{7}$/NC composite as a negative electrode for sodium-ion batteries (2107.09524v1)

Published 20 Jul 2021 in physics.app-ph and physics.chem-ph

Abstract: In recent years, the mixed phosphates based polyanionic electrode materials have attracted great attention in sodium-ion batteries due to their structural stability during cycling and open framework for ion diffusion. Here, we report the electrochemical performance of Na${4}$Co${3}$(PO${4}$)${2}$P${2}$O${7}$/nitrogen doped carbon (NCPP/NC) composite as a negative electrode (anode) for sodium ion batteries in the working potential range of 0.01--3.0~V. It delivers a reversible discharge capacity of 250~mAhg${-1}$ at 0.5~C current rate, which corresponds to the insertion/extraction of four sodium ions. The rate capability study indicates the reversible mechanism and highly stable capacity (61 mAhg${-1}$) even at high rate up to 5~C as compared to pristine NCPP. The incorporation of the N doped carbon spheres in the composite is expected to enhance the electronic/ionic conductivity, which plays an important role in improving the performance and stability up to 400 cycles at 1~C rate. Intriguingly, the analysis of cyclic voltammetry data measured at different scan rates confirm the capacitive/diffusive controlled mechanism and the extracted diffusion coefficient is found to be around 10${-10}$ cm$2$s${-1}$. Our results demonstrate that the NCPP/NC composite is also a potential candidate as anode in sodium-ion batteries due to its three dimensional framework, cost effectiveness, enhanced specific capacity as well as further possibility of improving the stability.
