A new type of flexible Na-3(VOPO4)(2)F cathode with nanocubes tightly assembled on carbon cloth is fabricated for the first time, showing superior rate capability, stable cycling performance, and good mechanical flexibility. When assembled with a directly-grown Na2Ti2O5 anode, a fully binder-free Na-ion battery is achieved with high working voltage, increased gravimetric energy/power densities, and the ability to power a LED indicator at bending angles from 0 degrees to 180 degrees.
Flexible Na-ion storage cathodes are still very few due to the challenge in achieving both reliable mechanical flexibility and excellent electrochemical performances. Herein, a new type of flexible Na-3(VOPO4)(2)F cathode with nanocubes tightly assembled on carbon cloth is fabricated by a facile solvothermal method for the first time. The cathode is able to exhibit superior rate capability and stable cycling performance up to 1000 cycles, due to the surface-assembling of crystalline nanocubes on carbon fibers. In addition, it shows good mechanical flexibility, nearly no capacity decay is observed after continuous bending of 500 times. With this novel cathode and a directly-grown Na2Ti2O5 anode, a fully binder-free Na-ion battery is assembled. It can deliver a high working voltage and increased gravimetric energy/power densities (maximum values: 220.2 Wh/kg; 5674.7 W/kg), and can power a LED indicator at bending angles from 0 degrees to 180 degrees.
