Abstract
A lithium-ion battery cathode material, Li2.5Na0.5V2(PO4)3/C, was prepared by the sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). As a control, Li3V2(PO4)3/C (LVP/C) was also prepared and studied. The effect of sodium-ion doping on the structure and electrochemical properties was studied. The XRD pattern of Li2.5Na0.5V2(PO4)3/C indicates that the monoclinic structure of Li3-xNaxV2(PO4)3 has transformed into a rhombohedral structure because of large amount of sodium-ion doping. For Li2.5Na0.5V2(PO4)3/C, a specific discharge capacity of 118 mAh · g-1 is achieved at a 0.5 C charge rate and 1 C discharge rate, and a 92.4% retention rate of the initial capacity is obtained after 50 cycles. Different from monoclinic LVP, there is only one discharge plateau at 3.7 V in the charge/discharge voltage profile of Li2.5Na0.5V2(PO4)3/C.
