Pyro-synthesis of a nanostructured NaTi2(PO4)(3)/C with a novel lower voltage plateau for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries
A pair of novel reversible oxidation/reduction peaks at around 0.44 V is discovered during the deep sodiation of NaTi2(PO4)(3)/C obtained by the pyro-synthetic approach. This novel low-voltage plateau doubles the charge/discharge capacity of NaTi2(PO4)(3), thus turning it into a more promising anode for Na-ion batteries. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
