Optimization of synthesis conditions of Na4Nb8P4O32 electrode material for sodium-ion batteries

The optimal conditions for the synthesis of Na4Nb8P4O32 were found and the phase composition, morphology and electrochemical properties were studied in this work. The effect of the temperature and the synthesis time on the phase composition of Na4Nb8P4O32 were shown. According to the X-ray phase analysis data the optimal synthesis conditions were 900°C and 2.5 hours. The values of ionic and electronic conductivity were 2.7 · 10−7 S/cm and 6.1 · 10−6 S/cm, respectively.
