Medium‐Entropy Doping Stimulated Multielectron Redox for Ultrastable High‐Capacity Na 3 V 2 (PO 4
Luwei Shi, Jicong Zhang, Ruian Fan, Yan Lin, Shanlin Li, Tao Hu, Changqing Ye, Ulla Lassi, Ruguang MaPolyanion‐based sodium‐ion cathodes are attractive candidates for next‐generation energy storage owing to the excellent structural stability, yet the practical deployment is hindered by limited specific capacity. Here, a medium‐entropy Na superionic conductor (NASICON)‐type Na 3 Fe 0.3 Cr 0.3 V 1.1 Ti 0.3 (PO 4 ) 3 (ME‐NVP) cathode is proposed to enhance redox utilization while reducing vanadium content. Medium‐entropy doping effectively activates the V 4+ /V 5+ couple, enabling high reversible electrochemical behavior over a wide voltage window of 1.5 to 4.6 V. ME‐NVP achieves a high specific capacity of 160.1 mAh g −1 at 0.1 C through the stepwise multielectron redox reactions including Ti 3+ /Ti 4+ , Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ , V 2+ /V 3+ , V 3+ /V 4+ , and V 4+ /V 5+ , delivering an energy density of 475 Wh kg −1 . More impressively, the synergistic effect among multiple transition‐metal species endows ME‐NVP with outstanding rate capability and cycling stability, maintaining 100% capacity retention after 4000 cycles at 20 C. Combined density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in situ X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analyses reveal reduced Na + migration barriers, enhanced conductivity, and solid‐solution‐type Na + storage behavior, which together accounts for the improved performance. This work establishes medium‐entropy engineering as a viable strategy for designing high‐performance multianion electrode materials.
