Off-stoichiometric Na_3-3x V_2+x (PO₄)₃/C nanocomposites as cathode materials for high-performance sodium-ion batteries prepared by high-energy ball milling.

ABSTRACT: Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ (NVP) is regarded as a promising cathode material for sustainable energy storage applications. Here we present an efficient method to synthesize off-stoichiometric Na_3-3x V_2+x (PO₄)₃/C (x = 0-0.10) nanocomposites with excellent high-rate and long-life performance for sodium-ion batteries by high-energy ball milling. It is found that Na_3-3x V_2+x (PO₄)₃/C nanocomposites with x = 0.05 (NVP-0.05) exhibit the most excellent performance. When cycled at a rate of 1C in the range of 2.3-3.9 V, the initial discharge capacity of NVP-0.05 is 112.4 mA h g^-1, which is about 96% of its theoretical value (117.6
