Popis: In this article, we demonstrate the electrochemical activity of AVP2O7/C (A = Li, Li0.5Na0.5, and Na) prepared by a scalable and easy-to-adopt oxalic dihydrazide assisted solution combustion method for application in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). A series of compounds thus prepared are found to possess a monoclinic structure consisting of a three-dimensional porous network and sufficient void volume to facilitate facile intercalation/deintercalation of sodium ions. However, among the corresponding composites obtained with Super P carbon, the lithium analog, viz., LiVP2O7/C, demonstrates better electrochemical performance than the rest of the compositions, viz., Li0.5Na0.5VP2O7/C and NaVP2O7/C, when explored as anode in SIBs. In other words, LiVP2O7/C anode exhibits a stable reversible capacity of 125 mA h g–1 at 1 C rate (115 mA g–1) up to 100 cycles. Further, at 1 C rate condition, an acceptable capacity of 90 mA h g–1 has been observed up to 1000 cycles with a Coulombic efficiency of 99%, which is notewo...
