Impact of Sodium on the Water Dynamics in Prussian Blue Analogues
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are interesting cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries, especially the iron-based, [Fe(CN)6]n− vacancy-free PBA Na2–xFe[Fe(CN)6]·zH2O. However, the presence of water has an opposing role in the application of PBAs as electrode materials: the water provides structural stability ensuring minimum volume changes during sodium extraction and insertion, however, water can react with the electrolyte leading to unwanted side reactions. Therefore, water must be replaced with another compatible small molecule to ensure optimal performance. To achieve this, insights into the dynamics of water are crucial. Two samples with compositions of Na1.90(9)Fe0.90(7)2+Fe0.10(3)3+[Fe2+(CN)6]·2.12(2)H2O and Na0.34(5)Fe3+[Fe2.66(5)+(CN)6]·0.360(4)H2O were investigated using quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS). The results show that the water dynamics strongly depend on the sodium content. The water was found to diffuse within a spherical cavity in the porous framework with a radius of 2.6 Å for the high sodium-containing sample and 1.8 Å for the low sodium-containing sample consistent with the pore sizes in the crystal structures. In addition to the water diffusing within the pores, it was found that a small fraction of the water exhibits a rattling or rotational motion suggesting that this water strongly interacts and binds to the sodium ions. For the high sodium-containing sample, this rattling or rotational motion transforms into quantum rotational tunneling of the water below 75 K. These results give new fundamental insight into the role of water in PBAs, laying the groundwork for substituting water with another small molecule compatible with nonaqueous battery systems while also ensuring structural stability.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
