A cathode active material for sodium batteries

promising candidate for high-performance next generation batteries

Overview | Product Information | Related Products

Prussian white, is a cathode active material used in sodium-ion batteries. Prussian white is the fully reduced form of Prussian blue, with a general chemical formula of A₂M'[M"(CN)₆] where A is alkali metal, while M' and M" are transition metals. Prussian white has a rigid and spacious crystal lattice, allowing rapid intercalation and extraction of sodium ions. The excellent volumetric stability enables Prussian white to withstand internal swelling, stress, and strain that develop during charge–discharge cycling.

Manganese and iron-based Prussian white compositions are particularly attractive due to their elemental abundance and high theoretical capacity. A representative manganese–iron Prussian white delivers a first discharge capacity of 154 mAh/g, corresponding to 90% of the theoretical capacity of 171 mAh/g, and retains 81% of this capacity after 20 cycles.
