This invention belongs to the technical field of
sodium-
ion battery
cathode materials and discloses a method for preparing
anhydrous iron-based Prussian white compounds, comprising the following steps: forming a suspension A with an iron-based Prussian white compound prepared by a traditional liquid-phase co-
precipitation method and water; adding an
aqueous solution B prepared with
persulfate, surfactant, and
sodium additive to suspension A to obtain suspension C; heating, stirring, and aging suspension C under the protection of an
inert gas; removing the supernatant, centrifuging and washing the precipitate to obtain a white or light blue precipitate; and
vacuum drying the precipitate to obtain the
anhydrous iron-based Prussian white compound. This invention uses
persulfate ions and surfactants to remove the
water of crystallization from the iron-based Prussian white compound synthesized by liquid-phase co-
precipitation under the strong oxidizing effect of
persulfate, which can reduce the adverse effects of
water of crystallization during battery charging and discharging on the stability of the organic
electrolyte, and improve cycle stability and rate performance.
