- Among Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), NaxFe[Fe(CN)(6)](1-y)center dot nH(2)O is a highly attractive cathode material for sodium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity of similar to 170 mA h g(-1) and inexpensive raw materials. However, concerns remain over its long-term electrochemical performance and structural factors which impact sources of resistance in the material and subsequently rate performance. Refined control of the [Fe(CN)(6)] vacancies and water content could help in realizing its market potential. In this context, we have studied a low-defect Berlin green (BG) Na0.30(5)Fe[Fe(CN)(6)](0.94(2))center dot nH(2)O with varied water content corresponding to 10, 8, 6, and 2 wt%. The impact of water on the electrochemical properties of BG was systematically investigated. The electrodes were cycled within a narrow voltage window of 3.15-3.8 V vs. Na/Na+ to avoid undesired phase transitions and side reactions while preserving the cubic structure. We demonstrate that thermal dehydration leads to a significantly improved cycling stability of over 300 cycles at 15 mA g(-1) with coulombic efficiency of >99.9%. In particular, the electrode with the lowest water content exhibited the fastest Na+-ion insertion/extraction as evidenced by the larger CV peak currents during successive scans compared to hydrated samples. The results provide fundamental insight for designing PBAs as electrode materials with enhanced electrochemical performance in energy storage applications.
