as potential cathode materials for rechargeable Li batteries, and their behavior in several nonaqueous Li salt solutions. Classic electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, atomic adsorption, atomic emission, in situ and ex situ at… Show more
“…While rechargeable lithium and metal hydride anodes have increased the energy The most recent development in super-iron cathode chemistry is that it is reversible, which has led to the demonstration of rechargeable super-iron batteries. In accord with recent studies [22,24,30,32], the principal limitation to Fe(VI) reversibility has been the passivation of Fe(VI)/Fe(III) redox couple due to resistive buildup of low-conductivity ferric salts. Recently, it has been shown that ultra-thin Fe(VI) layers are reversible cathodes.…”

“…However, the more recent evidence suggests that the iron centers undergo a partially reversible Faradaic reduction in the compounds from 6 + to 3 + states, central to this interpretation is direct Mössbauer measurement of the iron valence state of the cathode during charge storage [32]. Fig.…”

“…Recently, it has been shown that ultra-thin Fe(VI) layers are reversible cathodes. Consequently they are rechargeable in electrolytes, respectively, conducive to both lithium-ion [32] and metal hydride [24,30] anode batteries. This review paper first focuses on the reversible alkaline super-iron cathodes, then provides a summary of the primary and rechargeable nonaqueous super-iron batteries.…”

“…FTIR provides not only a specific "fingerprint" distinguishing the various Fe(VI) oxides, as shown in Figure 5, but importantly we have also developed it as a quantitative technique to determine the Fe(VI) salt purity through the addition of a standardized BaSO 4 salt [8]. Discharge of cathode replaced, commercial alkaline button cells provides rapid screening of the redox activity of alternative salts [6,10,11,14,15,19,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

A super-iron Li-ion cathode with a 3-fold higher reversible capacity (a storage capacity of 485 mAh/g) is presented. One of the principle constraints to vehicle electrification is that the Li-ion cathode battery chemistry is massive, and expensive. Demonstrated is a 3 electron storage lithium cathodic chemistry, and a reversible Li super-iron battery, which has a significantly higher capacity than contemporary Li-ion batteries. The super-iron Li-ion cathode consists of the hexavalent iron (Fe(VI)) salt, Na 2 FeO 4 , and is formed from inexpensive and clean materials. The charge storage mechanism is fundamentally different from those of traditional lithium ion intercalation cathodes. Instead, charge storage is based on multi-electron faradaic reduction, which considerably enhances the intrinsic charge storage capacity.
The history of the oxo compounds of iron in its highest oxidation states is reviewed and modern activities in this long neglected area of inorganic chemistry are highlighted. The chemistry of ferrates(VI) is the most rapidly advancing branch owing to several potential applications in diverse fields such as environmental chemistry and energy storage. Convenient and high‐yield preparations of ferrates(VI) in high purity are presented, followed by a coverage of the analytical, spectroscopic, and structural characterization in the solid and in solution, with a focus on the stability of these compounds, which had long been under‐estimated. Particular attention has been paid to the fascinating mechanisms that have been proposed for the intriguing “self‐decay” of the [FeO4]2– dianion. Redox processes with inorganic and organic substrates are summarized including fresh and waste water treatment on the one hand and “super‐iron batteries” on the other. Recent advances in the experimental and computational approach to ferrates(VII) [FeO4]– and the elusive “iron tetroxide” [FeO4] are described.
