Abstract

The Na+/Li+ electrochemical exchange in Na3FePO4CO3 (NFPC) carbonophosphate is studied for the first time in a hybrid cell using Li metal anode and Li-based electrolyte. The resulting ion-exchanged product is investigated. It is shown that the complete substitution of Na for Li is not achieved. The Na+/Li+ electrochemical exchange does not cause noticeable structural changes in the mixed Na/Li iron carbonophosphate; the initial monoclinic structure is preserved. During the first few cycles, a concurrent insertion of the Li+ and Na+ ions occurs, which is changed for the predominant Li intercalation/de-intercalation subsequently. Discharge capacity of NFPC/C achieves 61 mAh g−1 at 1 C, which is superior to that in a Na cell; the operating voltage is about 0.3 V higher. The Li/Na intercalation kinetics in the in situ formed mixed Na/Li iron carbonophosphate exceeds the sodium intercalation kinetics for NFPC cycled in a Na cell (DA+ = 1 × 10−15 cm2 s−1).
