In this work, the electrochemical properties of carbon and reduced graphene-coated Na₄Ni₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇ materials have been evaluated as high-voltage positive electrodes for sodium-ion batteries. Na₄Ni₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇ exhibits the highest Ni³⁺/Ni²⁺ redox potential of 4.8 V vs. Na⁺/Na with a theoretical capacity of 127 mAh g^-1. Here, we report on the synthesis and characterizations of Na₄Ni₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇-reduced graphene oxide and Na₄Ni₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇-carbon composites. The high-voltage dimethyl carbonate–based electrolyte has been chosen to explore the electrochemical properties of Na₄Ni₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇ as a cathode. Carbon-coated Na₄Ni₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇ composite electrode delivers a stable discharge capacity of 51 mAh g^-1 at 0.1 C rate for 40 cycles which corresponds to a reversible intercalation/de-intercalation of 1.3 sodium ions. The structural deformation has been observed during the charge–discharge process beyond the removal of 1.3 Na⁺ ions and has been confirmed by in situ PXRD measurements. The present results provide a guideline to improve the performances of the high-voltage Na₄Ni₃(PO₄)₂P₂O₇ material for the next generation sodium-ion batteries.
