    • Abstract

       

      The NASICON-type Na$_3$V$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$ (NVP) material was synthesized through the sol–gel route and characterized as cathode in sodium-ion battery by the cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) as well as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. Scan rate-dependent CV demonstrates an approximate diffusion-type behaviour and gives the diffusion coefficient value 5.24 ${\times}$ 10$^{–11}$ cm$^2$ s$^{–1}$ for Na$^+$ in NVP. Both GITT and EIS tests demonstrate the U-shape diffusion coefficients for Na$^+$ correlated to stoichiometry ranging from 10$^{–16}$ to 10$^{–11}$ cm$^2$ s$^{–1}$, where bottom of the diffusion rate corresponding the plateau voltage well matches with CV data. The strong interaction between the main skeleton and Na$^+$ during the two-phase reaction as demonstrated by the X-ray diffraction results was believed as the reason that reduces the diffusion rate of Na$^+$ at the plateau voltage.
