Atomic Structure of Low Temperature NVPF

Caption

The low-temperature structure of NVPF [Na3V2(PO4)2F3] solved in this work. Calculations from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory suggest that the sodium atoms (white) can move most easily in the planes between the cation sites of vanadium (teal) and phosphorus (mauve) atoms during battery use.
