Abstract: Na3V2(PO4)3 is regarded as a viable and promising cathode material in sodium-ion batteries because of its high capacity and NASICON structure. However, the low conductivity leads to unsatisfactory electrochemical performance under high current charge and discharge conditions. In this work, Na3V2(PO4)3/CN/rGO (NVP/CN/rGO)cathode material on the basis of nitrogen doped carbon and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) decorated are prepared via the solid phase method, and the influence of different contents of rGO on the microscopic morphology and electrochemical performance of the NVP/CN/rGO cathode material, are systematically studied by the aid of material characterization methods and electrochemical analysis techniques. The results reveal that NVP/CN/rGO-2 particles are very uniform, and they display an excellent electrochemical performance, which is confirmed by high discharge specific capacity (116.4 mAh·g-1 at 0.2 C) and long-term lifetime (97.2% capa-city retention after 1 500 cycles). The main reason for the excellent performance of the composites is that the special conductive network structure of grapheme can connect the isolated NVP/CN particles and further improve its conductivity, thereby showing excellent storage sodium perfor-mance.
