ABSTRACT

Prussian blue (PB) cathodes are plagued by subpar rate capability and inadequate cycling performance, which stem from their low electronic conductivity and side reactions with the electrolyte. Carbon coating represents an effective solution to this issue. Nevertheless, it cannot fully encapsulate cathode materials. In this study, we synthesize carbon sol using starch as a precursor and successfully encapsulate the carbon on the surface of PB to form PB@C through the liquid phase method at low temperature. The carbon coating can effectively prevent PB from being corroded by the electrolyte during the cycling process and accelerate the transfer of electrons. The PB@C cathode demonstrates a significant capacity of 169 mAh g-1 at a low rate of 0.1C, approaching its theoretical specific capacity, and it is capable of retaining a capacity of 85 mAh g-1 even at a high rate of 30C. The material demonstrates impressive high-rate cycling performance, maintaining a capacity of 70 mAh g−1 and achieving a capacity retention rate of 76.7% after undergoing 1000 cycles at a rate of 20C. This outstanding rate capability and cycling stability are ascribed to the carbon coating layer, which can boost the electron transfer among materials, enhances the diffusion coefficient for sodium ions, and improves structural integrity. These outcomes imply that the PB@C material holds exceptional promise as a cathode for sodium–ion batterie.
