Sodium storage and capacity retention behavior derived from high-spin/low-spin Fe redox reaction in monoclinic Prussian blue based on operando Mossbauer characterization.

Zinan Wang et al.

Summary: Due to their high theoretical specific capacity, long cycle life, abundant resources, and environmental benignity, iron-based Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been widely investigated as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in recent years. In this study, the reaction and capacity degradation mechanism of well-crystallized and shape-controlled monoclinic Prussian blue (M-PB) were thoroughly investigated. It was found that the high-spin (HS) Fe in M-PB reacts completely and contributes to most of the capacity, while only part of the low-spin (LS) Fe reacts. The partial reaction of LS Fe in M-PB is the reason for its excellent cycling performance.

Hang Zhang et al.

Summary: Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have high theoretical energy density and low cost, but their high water and vacancy content lower the energy density and pose safety issues. A potassium-ions assisted strategy is proposed to synthesize highly crystallized PBAs, which exhibit increased redox potential and high energy density of approximately 450 Wh kg(-1). In addition, unconventional highly-reversible phase evolution and redox-active pairs were identified for the first time, and the preferred guest-ion storage sites and migration mechanism were systematically analyzed through theoretical calculations.

Low-Cost Zinc Substitution of Iron-Based Prussian Blue Analogs as Long Lifespan Cathode Materials for Fast Charging Sodium-Ion Batteries

Hang Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, a modified co-precipitation method was used to synthesize highly crystallized Prussian Blue analogs (PBAs). By introducing zinc as an electrochemical inert element to substitute high-spin iron, a highly reversible phase transition process for sustainable sodium-ion storage was achieved, resulting in improved cycle stability and specific capacity. In-situ tests confirmed minor lattice distortion and highly reversible phase transition of the zinc-substituted PBA during sodium-ion insertion and extraction, which greatly influenced the cycling stability. The zinc-substituted PBA exhibited remarkably enhanced cycling performance with a capacity retention of 58.5% over 2000 cycles at 150 mA g(-1) and superior rate performance up to 6000 mA g(-1).

Formation of Mn-Ni Prussian Blue Analogue Spheres as a Superior Cathode Material for Potassium-Ion Batteries

An Li et al.

Summary: Potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate (KMHCF) is a promising cathode material for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its impressive electrochemical performance, abundant elements, and easy synthesis. However, the capacity fading and poor K+ diffusion kinetics hinder its large-scale application. In this study, Mn-Ni Prussian blue analogue (MnNi-PBA) spheres were synthesized using a facile anion exchange method. The addition of Ni stabilizes the structure and provides rich active sites, leading to improved cycling performance and shorter ion diffusion pathways. The MnNi-PBA sphere cathode exhibits high initial discharge capacity, enhanced rate capability, and long cycle life. The reversible structural changes (monoclinic <-> cubic) of MnNi-PBA spheres are observed during cycling. These findings provide a design strategy for Mn-based Prussian blue analogues in PIBs.
