Na₆V₂O₈ is a mixed-valence vanadium oxide compound with a layered crystal structure, belonging to the family of sodium vanadates used in energy storage and catalysis applications. This material is primarily investigated as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries, where its layered architecture facilitates sodium-ion intercalation, making it relevant for stationary energy storage systems where cost and resource availability are critical. Compared to lithium-based alternatives, sodium vanadates offer advantages in raw material abundance and lower cost, though they remain largely in the research and development phase for commercial deployment.
