Boosting High‐Rate Sodium Storage Performance of N‐Doped Carbon‐Encapsulated Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ Nanoparticles Anchoring on Carbon Cloth

The further development of high‐power sodium‐ion batteries faces the severe challenge of achieving high‐rate cathode materials. Here, an integrated flexible electrode is constructed by smart combination of a conductive carbon cloth fiber skeleton and N‐doped carbon (NC) shell on Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (NVP) nanoparticles via a simple impregnation method. In addition to the great electronic conductivity and high flexibility of carbon cloth, the NC shell also promotes ion/electron transport in the electrode. The flexible NVP@NC electrode renders preeminent rate capacities (80.7 mAh g −1 at 50 C for cathode; 48 mAh g −1 at 30 C for anode) and superior cycle performance. A flexible symmetric NVP@NC//NVP@NC full cell is endowed with fairly excellent rate performance as well as good cycle stability. The results demonstrate a powerful polybasic strategy design for fabricating electrodes with optimal performance.
