摘要
Sodium iron hexacyanoferrate (NaFeHCF) has been recognized as a promising Prussian blue analogue (PBA)-based electrode for electrochemical desalination; however, its application potential is limited by its unsatisfactory desalination capacity and cycling stability. Herein, the structurally distorted high-quality monoclinic NaFeHCF with fewer defects in the framework was synthesized by a crystal-controlled coprecipitation method via tuning the crystallization reaction conditions and applied to seawater desalination. Physicochemical characterization and desalination experiments show that the NFHFC-2 with minimized defects possesses enhanced electrochemical activity of Fe2+ and electrochemical kinetics, thus achieving higher desalination performance (specific capacity of 75.0 mA h g-1 and capacity retention of 85.3% after 50 cycles). Furthermore, a symmetrical NFHCF-2 RCDB is assembled, and the operation parameters (including various salinities and electrode spacing) are optimized to achieve a remarkable salt removal capacity (SRC) of 108.9 mg g-1 and a salt removal rate (SRR) of 2.22 mg g-1 min-1 with low energy consumption (0.056 kW h kg-1-NaCl) and outstanding cycling stability (almost no capacity attenuation in 150 cycles). Impressively, the RCDB further exhibits favorable technical feasibility in the simultaneous removal of univalent/bivalent ions from the natural seawater. This study inspires the design of high-quality PBA-based electrodes with optimized crystal structures for electrochemical desalination. This study reveals that structure distortion induced monoclinic NaFeHCF with minimized defects enables stable, rapid and low energy consumption desalination in rocking-chair desalination battery.
