electrical devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, and digital electronics. [1] However, improvement is still required to make this technology also suitable for the large-scale grid, hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and pure electric vehicles (PEV), where high energy density is on demand. In order to further increase the energy density, it is urgent to develop positive electrode materials with high potential and high capacity and negative electrode materials with high capacity. [2] In addition, the materials should deliver high power and good cycling stability.Thanks to its high operating potential, high thermal stability, and low synthetic costs, lithium vanadium phosphate, Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 (LVP), has recently attracted much attention as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. [2b,3] Its high power ability (due to its high diffusion coefficient) and exceptional stability make this material very attractive also in hybrid supercapacitor devices. [4] LVP has two different crystal structures: [5] the rhombohedral structure, with the space group R-3 and the monoclinic one, with the space group P2 1 /n.The rhombohedral LVP (NASICONtype) consists of [VO 6 ] octahedra and [PO 4 ] tetrahedra connected through shared corners, forming [V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 ] "lantern" units, stacked along the [001] direction, where lithium ions lie to a unique 4-fold coordinated crystallographic site. Due to the In this work, the effect of Li + substitution in Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 with a large divalent ion (Ca 2+ ) toward lithium insertion is studied. A series of materials, with formula Li 3−2x Ca x V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C (x = 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5) is synthesized and studied in the potential region 3-0.01 V versus Li + /Li. Synchrotron diffraction demonstrates that Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C has a monoclinic structure (space group P2 1 /n), while Ca 1.5 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C possesses a rhombohedral structure (space group R-3c). The intermediate compounds, Li 2 Ca 0.5 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C and LiCaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C, are composed of two main phases, including monoclinic Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C and rhombohedral Ca 1.5 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C. Cyclic voltammetry reveals five reduction and oxidation peaks on Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C and Li 2 Ca 0.5 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C electrodes. In contrast, LiCaV 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C and Ca 1.5 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C have no obvious oxidation and reduction peaks but a box-type voltammogram. This feature is the signature for capacitive-like mechanism, which involves fast electron transfer on the surface of the electrode. Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C undergoes two solid-solution and a short two-phase reaction during lithiation and delithiation processes, whereas Ca 1.5 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C only goes through capacitive-like mechanism. In operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy confirms that, in both Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C and Ca 1.5 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C, V ions are reduced during the insertion of the first three Li ions. This study demonstrates that the electrochemical characteristic of polyanionic phosphates can be easily tuned by r...
