摘要

In this study, a series of Cr3⁺-doped NaCrxFe2-xPO4(SO4)2(x = 0–0.10) cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries were successfully synthesized via a solid-state method, aiming to synergistically address the inherent sluggish kinetics of NaFe2(PO4)(SO4)2(NFPS). Systematic characterization revealed that an appropriate amount of Cr3⁺(x = 0.08) was successfully incorporated into the lattice, optimizing the structure. This doping induced lattice contraction, leading to a dense bulk-like morphology and a concentrated mesopore distribution (3–7 nm), which provides continuous channels for ion transport. XPS analysis confirmed the presence of Cr in the + 3 oxidation state and its effective role in homogenizing the chemical environment of the Fe active sites. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that NFPS-Cr0.08 exhibited optimal overall performance: it delivered a first-cycle discharge-specific capacity of 58 mAh g⁻1 at 25 mA g⁻1, with a high capacity retention of 89.7% after 80 cycles, and demonstrated excellent rate performance, maintaining a high capacity output even at an elevated current density of 100 mA g−1. EIS spectra showed the smallest charge transfer resistance and the steepest Warburg slope for this sample, confirming optimal interfacial reaction kinetics and sodium-ion diffusion rate. CV tests indicated that it maintained excellent capacitive behavior and rapid charge storage capability even at high scan rates up to 0.50 V s⁻1. The findings provide clear guidance for designing high-performance polyanionic cathode materials.
