摘要: Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-type compounds have been recently considered to be some of the most attractive candidates for aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their large ionic channels and fast kinetics. However, in this work, our findings demonstrate that NASICON-type compounds are maybe not suitable for AZIBs due to their structural instability. Herein two typical NASICON structures, Na3V2(PO4)(3) and Na3V2(PO4)(2)F-3, as cathodes for AZIBs are investigated. Surprisingly, it is found that both cathodes undergo structural decomposition in 1 M Zn(CF3SO3)(2) electrolyte during repeated cycling. Na3V2(PO4)(3) degrades into Zn3V2O8, V2OS, and VO2 after 200 cycles, while Na3V2(PO4)(2)F-3 decomposes into dominant phases of V2O5, VPO5, and Zn-3(OH)(2)V2O7 center dot 2H(2)O, which are demonstrated by a combination of galvanostatic charge and discharge cycling, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements. The possible decomposition mechanisms of both materials are not only associated with the inherent instability during Zn+ ion (de)intercalation but are also affected by the coinsertion of H+ and solvation effect of H2O, which accelerates the structural decomposition. This work presents insights on the structural evolution of NASICON-structured cathodes for AZIBs.
