[0002] Vanadium redox flow batteries have shown great promise in large-scale energy storage due to their advantages such as power-capacity decoupling, long cycle life, and high safety. However, the cost of vanadium electrolyte, the active material, accounts for a relatively high proportion of the total system cost, affecting the battery's economic efficiency.
[0003] Currently, the industry has proposed a two-phase energy storage system of "solid energy storage material + vanadium electrolyte," which involves adding a potential-matched solid energy storage material to the electrolyte tank. The principle is to utilize redox mediators dissolved in the electrolyte, such as vanadium ions, to undergo a reversible electron exchange reaction with active sites on the surface of the solid material, thereby storing some energy within the solid material. However, existing solid energy storage materials still use vanadium as the primary metallic active center, failing to fundamentally reduce the overall battery system's dependence on expensive vanadium resources, resulting in limited overall cost reduction.

Furthermore, the solid-state energy storage material provided by this invention possesses electrochemical performance suitable for application in vanadium redox flow batteries. Detailed Implementation
[0041] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, a detailed description of the invention will be provided through specific embodiments.
[0042] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a solid energy storage material, which is a Prussian blue analogue with the general chemical formula M. x [Fe(CN)6] y Furthermore, the general chemical formula satisfies the relationship 3≤x+2y≤4; where M is the ion corresponding to one of the elements Co, Ni, Mn, and Cu, or M is a V ion, and an anion vacancy exists in the Prussian blue analogue, or M is a combination of the ions corresponding to two of the elements V, Co, Ni, Mn, and Cu; x is the total number of moles of various metal ions in M; y is [Fe(CN)6] 4- The number of moles.
[0043] This invention provides an effective path to reduce the dependence of vanadium redox flow battery systems on expensive vanadium resources. Specifically, when M is one of Co, Ni, Mn, or Cu, a completely vanadium-free solid energy storage material is achieved, minimizing vanadium consumption. When M is V ions and anionic vacancies exist in the Prussian blue analogue, the introduction of anionic vacancies significantly optimizes the electronic structure and ion transport kinetics of the single vanadium-based Prussian blue analogue, enabling the material to achieve higher energy storage capacity and efficiency per unit mass or unit volume than traditional vanadium-based materials. This means that the total amount of vanadium resources required to achieve the same battery capacity is effectively reduced, decreasing dependence on vanadium resources from the perspective of material utilization efficiency. When M is a combination of V and another element from Co, Ni, Mn, or Cu, the vanadium content in the material is significantly reduced. This invention reduces dependence on vanadium resources through multiple technical paths, including "significantly improving vanadium utilization efficiency," "partial substitution," and "complete vanadium-free." Furthermore, the solid energy storage material provided by this invention possesses electrochemical performance suitable for application in vanadium redox flow batteries.
[0044] Preferably, when M is a combination of corresponding ions of two elements, if the combination includes V ions, the molar ratio of V ions to the other element ion is 1:1 to 1:9; if the combination does not include V ions, the molar ratio of the two element ions is 1:1 to 1:9. This specific ratio range is key to achieving efficient synergy between element ions and optimizing the electrochemical performance of the material; this preferred molar ratio range enables solid energy storage materials to achieve low vanadium content while possessing excellent electrochemical performance, ensuring the feasibility and effectiveness of their application in vanadium redox flow batteries.
[0045] Preferably, the general chemical formula of the Prussian blue analogue is V x1 W x2 [Fe(CN)6] yFurthermore, the general chemical formula satisfies the relationship 3≤x1+x2+2y≤4; where W is the ion corresponding to one of the elements Co, Ni, Mn, and Cu; x1 is the molar number of V ions; and x2 is the molar number of W-corresponding ions. The molar ratio of V ions to W-corresponding ions is 1:1 to 1:9, and anion vacancies exist in the Prussian blue analogue.
[0046] Thus, a synergistic effect is achieved by introducing anion vacancies and doping them with a specific ratio of bimetallic materials. Specifically, the presence of anion vacancies effectively modulates the electronic structure of the material, providing more channels and active sites for ion transport, thereby greatly improving the material's reaction kinetics and reversibility. Furthermore, the preferred molar ratio of V ions to their corresponding W ions of 1:1 to 1:9 can synergize with the anion vacancies. The combined effect of these two factors, compared to vacancy-free VW materials and single-metal materials, demonstrates a significant improvement in capacity enhancement and voltage efficiency per unit mass in vanadium redox flow batteries. The "vacancy-doping synergy" strategy employed in this invention not only successfully achieves the goal of reducing the vanadium content but also overcomes the technical bottlenecks of slow reaction kinetics and limited capacity enhancement effects in existing solid-state energy storage materials, providing support for the realization of high-performance, low-cost vanadium redox flow batteries.
[0047] More preferably, W is an ion corresponding to one of the elements Co, Ni, and Mn. Within the material framework of "vacancy-doping synergy," the V-Co, V-Ni, and V-Mn systems exhibit more significant improvements in capacity enhancement and voltage efficiency per unit mass.

Thus, the initial Prussian blue framework is first formed by mixing solutions A and B, followed by the subsequent addition of solution C, V 5+ The subsequent addition of [a specific substance] allows for the targeted oxidation of low-valent vanadium in the previously formed lattice, thereby introducing anionic vacancies within the crystal. This preparation process ensures that the material possesses excellent ionic conductivity and abundant active sites, providing the technological basis for achieving the "vacancy-doping synergy" effect and significantly improving the material's capacity and voltage efficiency per unit mass in vanadium redox flow batteries.

[0056] In this process, solution A is added dropwise to solution B to mix and react, with the volume ratio of solution A to solution B being 1:1 to 1:3.
[0057] Thus, the method for preparing solid energy storage materials provided by the present invention ensures the high efficiency of the synthesis reaction and the uniformity of product quality by limiting the specific concentration range of reactants in solution A and solution B, the suitable acidity of solution B, and the optimized volume ratio of solution A and solution B.

When the reactant concentration is too low, the probability of ion collisions in the reaction system decreases significantly, and metal ions and cyanide ions cannot fully coordinate to form a complete cubic framework, easily generating amorphous cyanometallic compounds (such as amorphous Fe4[Fe(CN)6)). 3 Incomplete reactions and low yields can occur due to local ion concentration imbalances, such as the formation of impurities like metal hydroxides (e.g., M(OH)2, M(OH)3) and carbonates. When reactant concentrations are too high, the ion activity in the system increases sharply, leading to local supersaturation. Metal ions rapidly combine with cyanide ions to form unstable intermediates. Simultaneously, the salting-out effect causes high-concentration electrolytes to precipitate and adsorb onto the surface of PBA particles, contaminating the product and hindering crystal growth. A suitable reactant concentration can satisfy the collision frequency required for coordination between metal ions and cyanide ions, resulting in moderate crystal growth, while maintaining the stoichiometric ratio of metal ions to cyanide ions in the system and balancing the effective yield.
[0207] The comparison of the experimental results of Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 shows that, under the condition of constant concentration, the presence of anion vacancies increased the capacity by 68.75 mAh, and the capacity increase per unit mass increased by 2.75 mAh / g. This indicates that the sample containing anion vacancies has high ionic conductivity and can effectively improve the efficiency of capacity increase per unit mass of solid energy storage materials in flow batteries.
[0208] A comparison of the experimental results of Examples 3, 5, 10, and 15 with Examples 6-9, 11-14, and 16-19 shows that doping with manganese, cobalt, and nickel has a significant effect on improving the efficiency of capacity increase per unit mass of the samples. Among them, cobalt doping has the best effect, with a capacity increase of 1271 mAh, a maximum capacity increase per unit mass of 50.84 mAh / g, and a voltage efficiency of 82.00%. Compared with Example 3, the capacity increase is 756.50 mAh, and the capacity increase per unit mass is 30.26 mAh / g. Examples 20-24 show that due to the low potential of copper ions, copper doping slows down the reaction kinetics of the solid energy storage material, and its performance is not as good as that of the all-vanadium solid energy storage material. The above results indicate that by selecting metal ions with appropriate potentials for doping, the performance of solid energy storage materials synthesized by binary metals is significantly better than that of solid energy storage materials synthesized by single elements.
[0209] A comparison of the results of Examples 6-9, 11-14, 16-19 and 21-24 shows that the performance of the solid energy storage material synthesized by bimetallic elements is significantly correlated with the feed ratio, and the capacity increase per unit mass of the sample exhibits a volcano-shaped distribution as the vanadium input decreases.
[0210] The comparison of the results of Examples 10 and 25, and Examples 13 and 26 shows that different types of metal salts have little effect on the final performance of the samples during synthesis.
[0211] A comparison of the results of Examples 13 and 27-30 shows that the acid concentration during sample synthesis has a certain impact on the sample performance. When the acid concentration is too low, metal ions are prone to hydrolysis, such as Ni. 2+ +2OH - →Ni(OH)2↓, the generated hydroxide competes with the cyanide ion for binding with metal ions, preventing the formation of a complete "M-CN-M'" framework. The "M-CN-M'" framework is the core skeletal structure of Prussian blue materials, where M and M' represent two different metal ions, and CN represents the cyanide ion; when the acid concentration is too high, CN... - Under strongly acidic conditions, it will rapidly protonate to form HCN, and further hydrolyze to NH4. + and CO3 2- This leads to a sharp drop in the effective cyanide concentration in the system, preventing the formation of a complete framework with metal ions; simultaneously, the already formed PBAs framework is unstable under strongly acidic conditions, and the MN bonds in the cubic structure are easily broken by H+. + Damage may occur, potentially leading to the dissolution and formation of mononuclear cyanide complexes, such as [Fe(CN)6]. 4- [Ni(CN)4] 2- Alternatively, it may be converted into metal salts, such as FeCl3 or NiCl2, ultimately failing to yield the target product; a suitable acid concentration can effectively inhibit the hydrolysis of metal ions, H...+ Consume OH - To avoid M(OH) n It generates cyanide without destroying its coordination activity.
