Microstructure tuned NaV(PO)@C electrodes toward ultra-long-life sodium-ion batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as the best replacement for Li-ion batteries. In this regard, research on developing a reliable cathode material for SIBs is burgeoning. Rhombohedral NaV(PO) (NVP), is a typical sodium super ionic conductor (NASICON) type material having prominent usage as a cathode material for SIBs.
