▎ 摘  要

Mixed polyanion materials with a 3D framework for battery electrodes have been attracting significant attention recently in view of the requirements to further improve energy storage and power densities. Herein, we present a design of a hierarchical Na7V4(P2O7)(4)(PO4)/C nanorod-graphene composite as sodium-and lithium-storage cathode materials. The hierarchical structure is composed of a 1D rectangular Na7V4(P2O7)(4)(PO4)/C nanorod, which is coated by in situ residual carbon and wrapped by a reduced graphene-oxide sheet. The open network of graphene and the surface carbon coating of the Na7V4(P2O7)(4)(PO4)/C nanorod provide bicontinuous electron and ion pathways, providing a three-dimensional conductive network for efficient electron and ion transfer. The flexible electrode built from the hierarchical composite free of binder or conductive additive exhibits improved electron conductivity and higher sodium/lithium ion migration coefficients than the pristine Na7V4(P2O7)(4)(PO4)/C nanorod. It approaches the initial reversible electrochemical capacities of 91.4 and 91.8 mA h g(-1) with high discharge potentials over 3.8 V (vs. Na/Na+ or Li/Li+) and good cycling properties with capacity retentions of 95% and 83% after 200 cycles at a 1 C rate in sodium and lithium intercalation systems, respectively. Even at 10 C, it still delivers 87.4% (for sodium) and 78.2% (for lithium) of the capacity and high cycling stability. Taking into consideration the compatibilities of both sodium/lithium ions and their superior electrochemical characteristics, the bicontinuous hierarchical composite is considered to be a promising high-rate capability electrode material for advanced energy storage applications.
