Moving to Aqueous Binder: A Valid Approach to Achieving High-Rate Capability and Long-Term Durability for Sodium-Ion Battery.

ABSTRACT: Polyanionic Na3V2(PO4)2F3 with a NASICON-type structure is heralded as a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its fast ionic conduction, high working voltage, and favorable structural stability. However, a number of challenging issues remain regarding its rate capability and cycle life, which must be addressed to enable greater application compatibility. Here, a facile and effective approach that can be used to overcome these disadvantages by introducing an aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) binder is reported. The resulting conductive network serves to accelerate the diffusion of Na+ ions across the interface as well as in the bulk. The strong binding force of the CMC and stable solid permeable interface protect the electrode from degradation, leading to an excell
