Redox Couple Modulation in NASICON Phosphates toward High-Performance Cathodes for Na-Ion Batteries

Natrium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type phosphates have aroused a great interest as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) by virtue of their stable 3-dimensional frameworks, flexible molecular formula tunability, and superior ionic conductivity. Nevertheless, the intrinsic low electr...

description Natrium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type phosphates have aroused a great interest as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) by virtue of their stable 3-dimensional frameworks, flexible molecular formula tunability, and superior ionic conductivity. Nevertheless, the intrinsic low electronic conductivity and relatively low theoretical specific capacity place obstacles in their way toward achieving higher electrochemical performance. In addition, only 2-electron reactions in most NASICON cathodes and poor reversibility of high-voltage redox couples severely limit their energy density. To address the above tough issues, an in-depth understanding of transition metal selection, elements ratio optimization, and Na-storage mechanism is of paramount importance. Here, this mini review summarizes the latest progresses on the NASICON-type phosphate cathodes for SIBs from the perspective of redox couple modulation. NASICON cathodes featuring high operating voltage and multielectron reactions are discussed in detail. Finally, the remaining challenges and personal outlooks based on redox couple regulation are put forward, shedding light on the designing rules for high-energy and long-durability NASICON-type phosphate cathodes for SIBs in the future.
