Iron-Based Mixed Phosphate NaFe(PO)PO Thin Films for Sodium-Ion Microbatteries.

Iron-based polyanionic materials can be exploited to realize low cost, durable, and safe cathodes for both bulk and thin film sodium-ion batteries. Herein, we report pulsed laser deposited mixed phosphate NaFe(PO)PO as a positive electrode for thin film sodium-ion microbatteries. The bulk material and thin films of NaFe(PO)PO are employed by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) and the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique, respectively.
