Optimization of NaFePO4 nanoparticles act as cathode in Sodium-ion batteries

Abstract

Over the next phase of rechargeable batteries, a detailed investigation has gone into creating future cathode materials. The utilisation of phosphate framework materials as electrodes in the next source of energy storage technologies will be a challenging and appealing option and because of its best cycle and cycling rate, as well as its low cost. NaFePO₄ has been regarded a viable electrode material in sodium ion batteries. Microwave, hydrothermal, and solid state procedures were used to synthesize the NaFePO₄ nanoparticles. As per XRD structural studies, the solid state method shows the maximum intensity peaks of NaFePO₄. Then the FTIR analysis was used to identify the PO₄^3-groups and the morphology studies were done for the outcome of the solid state method. The findings demonstrated that the solid state produced NaFePO₄ nanoparticles acts as a potential electrode materials for sodium ion batteries.
