AbstractNa-ion batteries have been considered promising candidates for stationary energy storage. However, their wide application is hindered by issues such as high cost and insufficient electrochemical performance, particularly for cathode materials. Here, we report a solvent-free mechanochemical protocol for the in-situ fabrication of sodium vanadium fluorophosphates. Benefiting from the nano-crystallization features and extra Na-storage sites achieved in the synthesis process, the as-prepared carbon-coated Na3(VOPO4)2F nanocomposite exhibits capacity of 142 mAh g−1 at 0.1C, higher than its theoretical capacity (130 mAh g−1). Moreover, a scaled synthesis with 2 kg of product was conducted and 26650-prototype cells were demonstrated to proof the electrochemical performance. We expect our findings to mark an important step in the industrial application of sodium vanadium fluorophosphates for Na-ion batteries.

AbstractCobalt Prussian blue analogues (Co-PBA; NaxCo[Fe(CN)6]y), consisting of cyano-bridged transition metal network, –Fe–CN–Co–NC–Fe–, are promising cathode materials for Na-ion secondary batteries. In the oxidation process, oxidization of Fe and/or Co are compensated by Na+ deintercalation. Here, we investigated the oxidization process of three Co-PBAs by means of in situ infrared absorption (IR) spectroscopy. With use of an empirical rule of the frequencies of the CN− stretching mode in ferrocyanide ([FeII(CN)6]4−) and ferricyanide ([FeIII(CN)6]3−), the oxidation processes of Co-PBAs were determined against the Fe concentration (y) and temperature (T). We will discuss the interrelation between the oxidation processes and Fe concentration (y).

A novel strategy for the oxidation of Mg-based intermetallic compounds using CO<sub>2</sub> as an oxidizing agent was realized via simple thermal treatment, called ‘CO2-thermic Oxidation Process (CO-OP)’. Furthermore, as a value-added application, electrochemical properties of one of the reaction products (carbon-coated macroporous silicon) was evaluated. Considering the facile tunability of the chemical/physical properties of Mg-based intermetallics, we believe that this route can provide a simple and versatile platform for functional energy materials synthesis as well as CO<sub>2</sub> chemical utilization in an environment-friendly and sustainable way.
