Preparation and electrochemical performance of VOPO4·2H2O nanosheet cathode for sodium-ion batteries

doi:10.19799/j.cnki.2095-4239.2020.0087

Abstract

Abstract:

VOPO₄·2H₂O is thought to be a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its typical two-dimensional layered structure, which facilitates rapid sodium transportation. Here, a cathode constructed of VOPO₄·2H₂O nanosheets (thickness: ~10 nm) was successfully prepared via a simple hydrothermal method. The corresponding morphology and electrochemical properties of the cathode were systematically analyzed. The as-prepared VOPO₄·2H₂O nanosheets were very uniform, and when used as the SIB cathode, it displayed an excellent electrochemical performance including high reversible specific capacity, excellent rate capability and good cycling stability. For example, the VOPO₄·2H₂O nanosheet cathode showed a high average operating voltage of 3.5 V and a reversible capacity of 130 mA·h/g at a rate of 0.05 C. Even at a high rate of 5 C, the cathode could still obtain a capacity of 70 mA·h/g and a retention of 77% was maintained after 400 cycles. This outstanding sodium storage performance is primarily due to the advantages of its unique nanosheet structure, which promotes rapid sodium diffusion.
