Fe(CN)6−4-doped polypyrrole: a high-capacity and high-rate cathode material for sodium-ion batteries

Abstract

A redox-active Fe(CN)₆⁻⁴-doped polypyrrole was synthesized and found to have a remarkable redox capacity of 135 mA h g⁻¹ in Na⁺ electrolyte, an excellent rate capability of 1600 mA g⁻¹ and a strong capacity retention of 85% over 100 cycles, showing great promise for enabling low-cost and environmentally benign Na-ion batteries for large-scale electric energy storage.
