Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A transition metal hexacyanoferrate (TMH) cathode battery is provided. The battery has a A x Mn[Fe(CN) 6 ] y .zH 2 O cathode, where the A cations are either alkali or alkaline-earth cations, such as sodium or potassium, where x is in the range of 1 to 2, where y is in the range of 0.5 to 1, and where z is in the range of 0 to 3.5. The A x Mn[Fe(CN) 6 ] y .zH 2 O has a rhombohedral crystal structure with Mn 2+/3+ and Fe 2+3+ having the same reduction/oxidation potential. The battery also has an electrolyte, and anode made of an A metal, an A composite, or a material that can host A atoms. The battery has a single plateau charging curve, where a single plateau charging curve is defined as a constant charging voltage slope between 15% and 85% battery charge capacity. Fabrication methods are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for synthesizing a transition metal hexacyanoferrate (TMH) battery material, the method comprising: preparing a first solution of Mn 2+ ; preparing a second solution of an A salt of Fe(CN) 6 4− ; mixing the first and second solutions; in response to mixing the first and second solutions, precipitating A x Mn[Fe(CN) 6 ] y .zH 2 O; where A cations are selected from a group consisting of alkali and alkaline-earth cations; where x is in a range of 1 to…
