Mechanochemical effect on the electrochemical properties of a Na3(VO)2(PO4)2F positive electrode for sodium-ion batteries

We employed a solvent-free mechanochemical post-treatment on a fluorophosphate electrode for sodium-ion batteries. Electrochemical analysis showed enhanced kinetic properties and improved ionic mobility while maintaining crystal structure.
