Carbon-Coating Na2FePO4F Cathode with High Rate Capability and Cycling Stability for Sodium Ion Batteries
摘要
There is an immediate need for cathodes that are affordable, highly efficient, and durable to advance the commercial success of sodium ion batteries (SIBs). We describe a novel approach involving a ball-milling technique to create carbon-coated Na2FePO4F microspheres (C-NFPF@C). The C-NFPF@C material, endowed with a highly conductive carbon layer, showcases impressive electrochemical properties, including a significant reversible capacity of 115 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C, a durable cycle life maintaining 81% capacity after 3000 cycles at 5 C, and remarkable rate performance with 44 mAh g−1 at 50 C. The recent research suggests that the C-NFPF@C material is highly promising for use as a cathode in SIBs due to its effectiveness.
