Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sodium ion battery positive electrode materials, and in particular to a benzoquinone-based substance-coated Prussian blue composite material, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Prussian blue (PB) and its analogues (PBAs), as a typical open-frame structure material, are considered to be promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their low cost, simple synthesis, and high specific capacity. However, there are still some problems that need to be solved in the practical application of Prussian blue materials, such as: (1) Poor structural stability: During the charge and discharge process, Prussian blue materials are prone to structural collapse, resulting in capacity decay and decreased cycle performance. (2) Poor conductivity: The intrinsic conductivity of Prussian blue materials is poor, which limits the improvement of their rate performance. (3) Interfacial side reactions: There are interfacial side reactions between Prussian blue materials and electrolytes, which lead to reduced coulombic efficiency and shortened cycle life.

[0003] To address these issues, researchers have tried various modification methods, with surface coating being an effective approach. Traditional coating materials are mostly inorganic, such as carbon materials and metal oxides. While these can improve the electrochemical properties of Prussian blue to a certain extent, they still suffer from weak bonding between the coating and the substrate, as well as uneven coating.
