Abstract
A protected transition metal hexacyanoferrate (TMHCF) battery cathode is presented, made from AxMyFez(CN)n.mH2O particles, where the A cations are either alkali or alkaline-earth cations, and M is a transition metal. In one aspect the cathode passivation layer may be materials such as oxides, simple salts, carbonaceous materials, or polymers that form a film overlying the AxMyFez(CN)n.mH2O particles. In another aspect, the cathode passivation layer is a material such as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, or iodine that interacts with the AxMyFez(CN)n.mH2O particles, to cure defects in the AxMyFez(CN)n.mH2O crystal lattice structure. Also presented are TMHCF battery synthesis methods.
