Abstract Sodium ion batteries have attracted much attention in recent years, due to the higher abundance and lower cost of sodium, as an alternative to lithium ion batteries. However, a major challenge is their lower energy density. In this work, we report a novel multi‐electron cathode material, KVOPO ₄ , for sodium ion batteries. Due to the unique polyhedral framework, the V ³⁺ ↔ V ⁴⁺ ↔ V ⁵⁺ redox couple was for the first time fully activated by sodium ions in a vanadyl phosphate phase. The KVOPO ₄ based cathode delivered reversible multiple sodium (i.e. maximum 1.66 Na ⁺ per formula unit) storage capability, which leads to a high specific capacity of 235 Ah kg ⁻¹ . Combining an average voltage of 2.56 V vs. Na/Na ⁺ , a high practical energy density of over 600 Wh kg ⁻¹ was achieved, the highest yet reported for any sodium cathode material. The cathode exhibits a very small volume change upon cycling (1.4% for 0.64 sodium and 8.0% for 1.66 sodium ions). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the KVOPO ₄ framework is a 3D ionic conductor with a reasonably, low Na ⁺ migration energy barrier of ≈450 meV, in line with the good rate capability obtained.
