Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) have attracted much attention as cathodes in sodium‐ion batteries due to their stable crystalline structure, high theoretical capacities, and facile synthesis. However, PBAs synthesized by the conventional precipitation method usually have the drawbacks of poor rate performance and cycling stability. Herein, the ball‐milling method is developed to prepare the ultrafine high‐quality Prussian blue. Benefited from its good crystallinity and ultrafine particle size of 40 nm, the obtained Na0.9Fe[Fe(CN)6]0.96 exhibits an outstanding cycling stability and rate capability, which can deliver a specific capacity of 106 mAh g−1 at 30 °C, maintaining 80% capacity after 500 cycles at 10 °C. The results show that a size effect can contribute to the enhancement of electrochemical kinetics of PBAs, and the scalable production of high‐performance PBAs can be anticipated based on the ball‐milling method.
Inorganic separator hydroxyapatite nanowires are designed to inhibit lithium dendrites growth and metal dissolution simultaneously in lithium transition metal oxide/Li battery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
