Abstract
Suffering from their severe frame distortion, conventional Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have still remained challenges in poor cyclability and short life-span for cathodes of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). By employing a two-step co-precipitation coating strategy, a cubic sheet FeCu-HCF@Cu-HCF composite was in-situ synthesized in this paper with a core-shell structure of NaxFe1-yCuy[Fe(CN)6] (FeCu-HCF) as a core and NaxCu[Fe(CN)6] (Cu-HCF) as a shell layer. As an active cathode for SIBs, as-prepared FeCu-HCF@Cu-HCF composite showed an excellent cyclability retaining its initial capacity of 83.08 % after 300 cycles at 0.5C and high-rate capability of up 10C (1C = 140 mA·g−1). Results analysis demonstrated that FeCu-HCF@Cu-HCF sample achieved an improved reaction kinetics with a higher Na+ diffusion coefficient and a lower coordinated water content than FeCu-HCF, indicating its better application prospect for high-performance of SIBs.
