Fund Project:

We report the synthesis of a novel multiwalled carbon nanotube-Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (MWCNT-NVP) composite with excellent electrochemical performance. The composite material was prepared by a hydrothermal process combined with a sol-gel method. The MWCNT-NVP composite consists of Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (NVP) and a small amount of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (8.74%(w)). The MWCNTs were successfully dispersed between the NVP nanoparticles, which was confirmed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and served as a kind of "electronic wire". Electrochemical measurements show that the MWCNTNVP composite has enhanced capacity and cycling performance compared with pristine Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃. At a current rate of 0.2C (35.2 mA·g^-1), the initial reversible discharge capacity of the MWCNT-NVP was 82.2 mAh·g^-1, and 72.3 mAh·g^-1 was maintained after 100 cycles when cycled between 3.0 and 4.5 V. od cycling performance was also observed when cycling between 1.0 and 3.0 V. The initial reversible capacity was 100.6 mAh·g^-1 and the capacity retention was 90% after 100 cycles. Additionally, electrochemical AC impedance showed that the electronic conductivity of MWCNT-NVP was significantly improved in the presence of the MWCNTs. These results indicate that the MWCNT-NVP composite has outstanding properties, and is thus a promising alternative for lithium-ion batteries with relatively low lithium consumption.
