摘要

Iron-based mixed phosphates are considered as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and high structural stability. However, their electrochemical performance is limited by poor electronic conductivity and sluggish ion diffusion. In this study, Na4Fe3(PO4)2(P2O7) with porous coral-like S-doped carbon (NFPP-U0.5%) is presented as cathode materials for SIBs. The porous coral-like structure of the S-doped carbon layer, along with the C–S–Fe interaction, significantly enhances both electronic conductivity and sodium ion diffusion. NFPP-U0.5% delivers excellent rate performance, achieving a capacity of 80.3 mAh g−1 at 20 C. Moreover, the in-situ X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the C–S–Fe interaction, combined with the unique carbon structure, contributes to a small lattice volume change during cycling. NFPP-U0.5% finally reached an ultra-long cycling life (capacity retention of 82.66% after 25,000 cycles at 20 C). The outstanding electrochemical performances and the unique interface interaction demonstrate that the S-doped carbon coating NFPP is of high potential as a cathode material for low cost and long-lasting cyclability energy storage system.
