Herein, we introduce a 4.0 V class high‐voltage cathode material with a newly recognized sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)‐type structure with cubic symmetry (space group P 2 1 3), Na 3 V(PO 3 ) 3 N. We synthesize an N‐doped graphene oxide‐wrapped Na 3 V(PO 3 ) 3 N composite with a uniform carbon coating layer, which shows excellent rate performance and outstanding cycling stability. Its air/water stability and all‐climate performance were carefully investigated. A near‐zero volume change (ca. 0.40 %) was observed for the first time based on in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction, and the in situ X‐ray absorption spectra revealed the V 3.2+ /V 4.2+ redox reaction with high reversibility. Its 3D sodium diffusion pathways were demonstrated with distinctive low energy barriers. Our results indicate that this high‐voltage NASICON‐type Na 3 V(PO 3 ) 3 N composite is a competitive cathode material for sodium‐ion batteries and will receive more attention and studies in the future.
