ABSTRACT
Accepted: 15 October 2020
Watery rechargeable sodium-ion batteries are alluring as elective materials to replace conventional lithium-ion batteries for the improvement of next-generation devices due to the abundance of sodium assets. Hence, we report the NaFePO4/MWCNT hybrid nanocomposite for high-performance cathode material for sodium-ion batteries synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route. The structural and morphological information of the products was identified through XRD, Raman and FESEM studies. The results suggest that orthorhombic crystalline structure with Pnma space group and the disk-like NaFePO4 was consistently wrapped on the MWCNT. Furthermore, the NaFePO4 wrapped MWCNT hybrid anode electrode show superior surface area (78 m2/g) and pore size (12.74 nm) than bare NaFePO4 (78 m2/g; 43.44 nm). The electrochemical results divulge that the hybrid electrode showed outstanding stability and high specific capacitance. NaFePO4/MWCNT hybrid electrode reached discharge capacity of 90 mAhg-1 at corresponding current density of 0.1 C. Still it has maintain as 98% of retention after the 100th cycles test. The EIS further hold high electrochemical nature of the NaFePO4/MWCNT composite electrode than pristine NaFePO4.

On a very basic level, these frameworks require rechargeable batteries to get tall vitality effectiveness by utilizing charge and release behavior to avoid the misfortune of overabundance energy. Energy-storage devices (ESDs) with tall control and vitality densities are critically required to meet the expanding request of convenient devices, electrical vehicles, and grid-

The rechargeable Li-ion battery (LIB) of the remote hand-held devices has invigorated endeavors to create lower-cost batteries for large-capacity energy capacity that can compete economically with the energy stored in a fossil fuel [4–7]. Vehicle jolt is one of the foremost critical arrangements that address the challenges of f
