Hydrogen Bond-Assisted Ultra-Stable and Fast Aqueous NH₄⁺ Storage.

ABSTRACT: Aqueous ammonium ion batteries are regarded as eco-friendly and sustainable energy storage systems. And applicable host for NH₄⁺ in aqueous solution is always in the process of development. On the basis of density functional theory calculations, the excellent performance of NH₄⁺ insertion in Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) is proposed, especially for copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF). In this work, we prove the outstanding cycling and rate performance of CuHCF via electrochemical analyses, delivering no capacity fading during ultra-long cycles of 3000 times and high capacity retention of 93.6% at 50 C. One of main contributions to superior performance from highly reversible redox reaction and structural change is verified during the ammoniation/de-a
