The lowest formation-enthalpy Li-site substitution can improve the redox potential.
Li8NaV3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 was first prepared with Na in Li1(2b) site.
Two-step reaction was proposed via Li3VO4 or (Li8Na)1/3VO4 as intermediates.
Li8NaV3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 showed a 4.4 V charge plateau at the 1st cycle.
Li9V3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 and Li8NaV3(P2O7)3(PO4)2 are promising Li-ion anodes.
