Summary: In this work, nitrogen-doped carbon-coated NaV3O8 materials were successfully synthesized using a rheological phase method with melamine as a nitrogen source. The nitrogen-doped carbon coating improved the thickness and properties of the surface coating without changing the crystal structure of NVO. The best electrochemical properties were observed in NVO@NC with a molar ratio of melamine to citric acid of 2.75:1.25. The nitrogen-doped carbon coating enhanced the discharge capacity and sodium ion diffusion coefficient, providing NVO materials with high-capacity and ultrafast Na-ion storage.

Summary: Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have developed rapidly due to the abundance, distribution, and low cost of sodium. Sodium superion conductor (NASICON) based electrode materials are promising for sodium storage, but their low electronic conductivity limits their electrochemical performance. Strategies such as coating with carbon, reducing size, combining with other carbon materials, and doping elements have been studied to enhance the conductivity of NASICON-based cathode materials.
