Popis: In order to clarify the possibility of cathode activity of Na 2 O-FeO-P 2 O 5 glasses for sodium ion batteries, glass formation tendency, crystallization behavior, electrical conductivity as well as charge and discharge properties are examined. Glass formation in x FeO–(100- x )NaPO 3 was confirmed for x ≤ 45 by melt quenching up to 1000 °C in N 2 filled electric furnace. By means of electrical conductivity tests, conductivity was increased with increases of x content in x FeO–(100- x )NaPO 3 and the activation energy for electrical conductivity was decreased. Charge and discharge profiles for Na anode exhibits high reversible discharge capacity as 115 mAh/g at 0.1 °C rate in 40FeO-60NaPO 3 (30Na 2 O–40FeO–30P 2 O 5 ) glass. The results on Raman scattering spectra suggests that glass structure is subjected to polymerized Q 1 and Q 2 phosphate units. And polymerized phosphates in glass cause lower density, open structure and sodium ion diffusive channels as well.
