%X Nb-based NAtrium Super Ionic CONductor (NASICON) frameworks (e.g., Nb2(PO4)3 and Na1.5V0.5Nb1.5(PO4)3) are emerging as the attractive Na-ion anodes due to their lower intercalation voltage (≈1.4–1.2 V vs Na+/Na0) and higher storage capacities (≈140–160 mAh g−1). However, their practical realization is limited by moderate cycle life and rate performances. In this work, a carbon-coated NASICON-NaV0.25Al0.25Nb1.5(PO4)3 (NaVAlNb/C) anode is unveiled for fast charging Na-ion batteries. The incorporation of Al3+ increases covalency of NASICON and creates disordered Na-ion sublattice as observed by X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements. Besides, the carbon-coating and particle downsizing produces facile electron and ion percolation network. Accordingly, the NaVAlNb/C anode renders extraordinary rate performances (80 mAh g−1 at 20C) with longer cycling stability (95.2
