Abstract
Optimized carbon-coated Na3V2(PO4)2F3 showed exceptional rate and electrochemical cycling capabilities, more than 4000 times at 1 C rate, as demonstrated by performance of hard carbon//Na3V2(PO4)2F3 18650 prototypes of 75 Wh kg−1.1 These attractive results, among others, attract a renewed interest in the field of Na-ion and Li-ion batteries for vanadium fluoride phosphates. The control of their electrochemical performance requires the careful tuning of the oxygen and thus vanadyle-type defects’ concentration in these materials. Indeed, the competition between the ionic V3+−F bond and the covalent V4+=O bond has a major effect on the structure of the pristine materials, and thus on the phase diagram and redox mechanisms involved upon their cycling in batteries. It will be illustrated for series of LiVPO4F1-yOy 2,3 and Na3V2-xMx(PO4)2F3-yOy 1, 4-6 phases combining mainly Synchrotron X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy studies. Original, probably firstly unexpected, crystal chemistry and redox activity will be discussed.
