ABSTRACT Li-ion storage devices having superior energy density are critical for one-time-charge long-term applications. Currently, much research endeavor is directed at enhancing the energy density of hybrid Li-ion capacitors, which incorporate the high energy of conventional Li-ion batteries with the elevated power density of Li-ion supercapacitors. Herein, we prepare orthorhombic GdCo(CN)6 as a new Prussian blue analog (PBA), showing that this compound offers excellent energy/power densities (605 Wh kg−1 and 174 W kg−1, respectively) and features Li-ion storage capacities (352 and 258 mAh gelectrode−1 at 100 and 1,000 mA g−1, respectively) that are almost twice higher than those of other cathode materials utilized in hybrid Li-ion capacitors. Thus, this study not only opens a new gate for the exploration of new-type PBAs, but also provides insights on the use of lanthanides in energy storage applications.

Introduction The diminution of fossil fuel resources and the increasing severity of environmental challenges highlight the need for integrating green, sustainable, and renewable energy resources into the electricity supply grid.1–3 However, the intermittent nature and uneven geographical distribution of these clean energy sources necessitate the use of energy storage devices4-7 such as Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Compared to other metal-ion batteries (e.g., Na-, K-, Mg-, and Al-ion), LIBs exhibit fast electrochemical kinetics due to the small ionic radius (3.82 Å in diameter) and low charge of Li+.8–10 This advantage has inspired researchers to develop advanced hybrid Li-ion capacitors, which generally comprise battery-type anodes and capacitor-type cathodes exhibiting high potential energy and power densities.11,12 To date, much effort is directed at the optimization of hybrid Li-ion capacitor anodes to improve capacity and rate 2 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

performance,13–16 while activated carbon or functional carbon–based materials (e.g., graphene) are still widely employed as cathode materials.17–19 The low capacity/capacitance of these carbon-based materials significantly hinders the further development of high-performance hybrid Li-ion storage devices, and the improvement of cathode material capacity to match that of functional anode materials is a primary demand. Therefore, better materials are still sought after. Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have received extensive attention in the field of electrical energy storage due to the capability of their unique crystal structure to accommodate other metal ions e.g., Al3+, K+, Li+, and Na+.20–33 However, PBAs are poor Li-ion capacitor or LIB electrode materials, typically exhibiting capacities of less than 200 mAh g−1. As the first step of enhancing the electrochemical performance of these cathode materials, we closely examined the reported PBAs, revealing that most of them contain fourth-row transition metal ions with 5 d-orbitals realizing various oxidation states.34,35 This finding inspired us to employ metals frequently overlooked such as lanthanides to construct new type of PBAs.36 Gadolinium (Gd), extensively used for the medical imaging, forms a stable trivalent state and salts that are well soluble in water, which allows Gd-based PBAs to be prepared at room temperature by wet chemical methods. Herein, we report a new type of PBA, Gd hexacyanocobaltate: GdCo(CN)6 denoted as GdHCCo, that featured an orthorhombic crystal structure instead of the conventional face-centered cubic structure and was therefore expected to exhibit distinctive properties when applied for Li-ion storage as a cathode material. The above compound displayed an excellent capability for Li-ion storage, featuring capacities of up to 352 mAh g−1 (almost twice higher than that of previously described carbon-based cathode materials for Li-ion capacitors), and therefore being one of the best electrode materials in the PBAs family. Analysis performed by multiple ex-situ

techniques demonstrated that Li-ion storage in GdHCCo is highly reversible and follows a hybrid mechanism. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first account of using a lanthanide-based PBA as a cathode material for Li-ion storage and presents a breakthrough in the application of PBAs as electrode materials for Li-ion storage.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Material preparation GdHCCo nanoparticles were prepared by a co-precipitation procedure. Briefly, aqueous Gd(NO3)3 (Sigma-Aldrich; 0.03 M, 100 mL) and K3Co(CN)6 (SigmaAldrich; 0.03 M, 100 mL) solutions were simultaneously dropwise added to deionized H2O (200 mL), and the mixture was vigorously stirred at 80 °C to facilitate crystal growth. After the formation of a white precipitate, the mixture was cooled down to room temperature, filtered, and the filter cake was rinsed several times with large amounts of deionized water (to remove impurity ions such as K+). Finally, the product was dried in a vacuum oven at 60 °C.

Physical characterization Sample structure was elucidated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using a Bruker D8 Advance diffractometer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was carried out by using an Al Kα source (PHI 5000 VersaProbe, Japan). Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were recorded using a LabRAM HV Evolution, and a Nicolet iS50, respectively. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was utilized for the composition and morphology study of the sample using a SUPRA 55VP. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images were acquired using a JEOL

JEM-F200 having an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The thermal stability of the as-prepared GdHCCo was probed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) that was performed by heating at a rate of 10 °C min−1 from 25 to 600 °C in a flow of N2. Quantitative elemental analysis was accomplished by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) utilizing ZSX-PRIMUS.

Electrode preparation A slurry including GdHCCo, carbon black (Super P Li), and poly(vinylidene difluoride) (7:2:1, w/w/w) was prepared by grinding the powders and redispersing them in N-methyl-2-pyrolidinone, similar to the standard procedure of slurry preparation widely employed in battery research communities and by battery manufacturers. The mixed powders were dried overnight prior to N-methyl-2pyrolidinone addition at 80 °C in a vacuum oven. The weight of samples was monitored before and after drying to ascertain the water evaporation as much as possible. A working electrode was prepared (~3 mg cm−2 mass loading) on a graphite paper current collector (Alfa Aesar) by spreading the slurry and subsequent drying in a vacuum oven at 60 °C.

Electrochemical characterization A two-electrode cell comprising a GdHCCo working electrode and sufficient Li metal foil (to determine that capacity was restricted only by the GdHCCo mass) was flooded with a 1.0 M solution of LiPF6 in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of diethylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate acquired in a glove box filled with Ar.

Prior to electrochemical characterization, the fresh electrode was subjected to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements (IM6ex ZAHNER Elektrik; frequency range = 10 mHz – 1 MHz, amplitude = 10 mV). Cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies were carried out using an electrochemical workstation instrument (WBCS3000, Wonatech, Korea). The potential range of 2.2– 4.5 V vs. Li+/Li at 0.2 mV s−1 scan rate was assigned for the measurements. The cycling of galvanostatic charge/discharge was achieved between 2.2 and 4.5 V vs. Li+/Li using various current densities of 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 mA g−1. The all specific capacities and current densities were calculated according to the active material weight (GdHCCo).

Ex-situ characterization Ex situ characterizations were accomplished to investigate the intercalation of Li+ ions and the mechanism of electrochemical Li-ion storage upon charge/discharge in the GdHCCo. Half-cells at diverse discharge (3.7, 3.1, 2.7, and 2.5 V vs. Li+/Li) and charge (3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 V vs. Li+/Li) states were disassembled, and the working electrodes were thoroughly rinsed in a glove box filled with Ar, vacuum-dried overnight, and subjected to ex-situ XRD, Raman spectroscopy, and FT-IR spectroscopy measurements.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In the theoretical crystal structure of GdHCCo, cyanide ligands bridge Co3+ and Gd3+ ions (Figure 1a), and each unit cell comprises of eight subunits, which can be occupied by Li+. Microscopic imaging (Figures 1b and 1d) revealed that GdHCCo exhibits an orthorhombic structure and strip morphology with Co and Gd elements

uniformly distributing throughout products. The XRD pattern of GdHCCo (Figure 1c) confirmed that this compound exhibits a Cmcm(63) orthorhombic crystal structure (a = 7.321 Å, b = 12.758 Å, c = 13.564 Å). The distinctive change from the conventional cubic structure to an orthorhombic one was ascribed to the increase of interplanar spacing due to the increased ion radius of Gd3+ (93.8 pm).37-39 The XRD patterns were experimentally studied and theoretically calculated exhibiting slight deviation on the intensity, as demonstrated by the (Yobs-Ycalc) line (Figure 1c). The background was corrected by pseudo-Voigt function. The allowed Bragg positions are marked as vertical lines. The Rietveld refined XRD parameters and obtained values after the refinement are illustrated in Table S1. Furthermore, the bridging nature of cyanide ligands in GdHCCo was verified by the observation of a strong C≡N stretching vibration at 2193 cm−1 in the corresponding FT-IR spectrum (Figure 1e). The C≡N stretching peak was deconvoluted into two signals indicating the stretching of cyanide bond in Co3+–C≡N and Co2+–C≡N environments.40-42 The Raman spectrum of GdHCCo (Figure 1f) featured twin peaks of the CN group at 2165 and 2183 cm–1 and was therefore quite different from those of PBAs containing fourth-row transition metal ions.43,44 Coordination of transition metal ions (e.g., Co3+ in GdHCCo) through the carbon of the cyanide ligand is known to strongly affect the C≡N stretching frequency,45,46 i.e. this frequency increases with increasing charge of the carbonbonded transition metal ion. Therefore, the sharp peak at 2183 cm−1 (Figure 1f) was attributed to Co3+-bonded cyanide, while the sideward twin peaks at 2165 cm−1 (Figure 1f) were ascribed to Co2+-bonded cyanide. The presence of Co2+ was ascribed to the reduction of the unstable Co3+ by water during synthesis. The low-energy region of the Raman spectrum of GdHCCo (Figure S1) featured peaks corresponding to Co2+–CN stretching and bending vibrations. Furthermore, the related FT-IR

spectrum (Figure 1e) featured an O–H vibration band at 3672 cm−1, which reflected the absorption of water from the ambient environment and the presence of coordinated and non-coordinated water molecules within the host framework. The presence of absorbed and coordinated water was confirmed by the initial weight loss in the TGA curve of GdHCCo, whereas sample decomposition started at ~100 ºC as shown by the different slope fitted in the TGA curve and rapid decrease in the weight (Figure S2).47-49 However, one should keep in mind that the observed thermal stability of GdHCCo makes it well suited for practical application as an electrode material at room temperature.

As expected, XPS (Figures 2 and S3) analysis of GdHCCo confirmed that the valence states of constituent elements (C, N, Co, and Gd) did not significantly change during synthesis, as it involved only a simple co-precipitation. Furthermore, peak deconvolution (Figure 2) was performed for each element, and several satellite peaks were seen in the case of C (Figure 2a). The results of Co2+ signal deconvolution (Figure 2d) agreed with those obtained for Co2+ peaks in FT-IR and Raman spectra. Furthermore, GdHCCo was found to contain highly pure Gd3+ (Figure 2c). The larger ionic radius of Gd3+ may place the cyanide bond under tension and pressure, facilitating the adoption of an orthorhombic crystal structure. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to reveal the in-depth theory behind this behavior.

Qualitative elemental analysis was also performed by EDX (Figure S4) and EDS mapping (Figure S5), and the constituent elements were found to be uniformly distributed. To obtain a relatively exact molecular formula of GdHCCo, this compound was characterized by XRF (Figure S6 and Table S2), and the obtained results were in agreement with those of EDX and EDS. Based on the elemental mass percentages provided in Table S2, the molecular formula of GdHCCo was determined as K0.0006GdCo(CN)6, and this compound was therefore concluded to contain much less K+ impurities than other PBAs.50,51 The electrochemical properties of GdHCCo were probed by CV. The shape of the obtained CV curve (Figure 3a) indicated a primarily capacitive type of Li-ion storage, although two overlaid tiny peaks were observed at ~3.7 V vs. Li+/Li. Based on the obtained results, the potential window for the operation of GdHCCo as a cathode material was determined as 2.2–4.5 V vs. Li+/Li. Even though the active potential window of graphite used for Li-ion storage is less than 1 V, a bare graphite paper current collector was inserted into the half-cell prior to capacity measurements to verify that the observed capacity originates from GdHCCo as the active material. As a result, the contribution of the naked graphite paper current collector to half-cell capacity was found to be negligibly small (Figure S7). The rate performance (Figure 3b) of GdHCCo as a half-cell cathode sustainably increased during the initial phase of cycling because of electrode material activation to form smooth channels for the transfer of Li+ and electrons.52,53 Figure 3c presents the corresponding voltage profiles of charge/discharge at diverse specific currents, demonstrating that stable charge/discharge processes were observed in all cases.

Cathode material stability largely determines the lifespan of the corresponding device. Therefore, we subjected two half-cells to long-term cycling tests, which were performed at 100 mA g−1 for 250 cycles (Figure 3d) and at 1,000 mA g−1 for 1,000 cycles (Figure 3e), observing good stability in both cases. Notably, the efficiency (77%) observed after 250 charge/discharge cycles at 100 mA g−1 increased to 98% when charge/discharge was conducted for 1,000 cycles at 1,000 mA g−1. Figure S8 shows representative voltage profiles recorded during long-term cycling at 1,000 mA g−1, revealing that these profiles did not exhibit distinct distortion and thus demonstrating successful and stable charge/discharge. 352 and 258 mAh g−1 capacities were acquired at the 10th charge/discharge cycle at 100 and 1,000 mA g−1, respectively, while values of 312 and 251 mAh g−1 were obtained after 250 and 1,000 charge/discharge cycles, respectively, at both current densities. Based on the obtained data, average capacity losses of 0.05 and 0.003% per cycle were calculated for cycling

at 100 and 1,000 mA g−1, respectively. The inset of Figure 3e shows that the assembled half-cell could light a 3-V LED lamp. After long-term cycling, the cathode material was probed for its crystal structure stability by using XRD analysis, and the characteristic (021), (022), (113), (223), and (115) peaks of GdHCCo were found to be well preserved, which indicated great stability of this material (Figure S9).

It is worth pointing out that the Farad-to-mAh conversion used in the present work is critical for the hybrid battery-capacitor system to remain similar to that conventional battery materials, rather than to materials employed for electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) or for Faradaic pseudo-capacitors.54,55 In Figures 4a and b, GdHCCo is compared with other cathode materials recently reported for Li-ion capacitors (see references 56-62 in Figure 4). The comparison shows that the capacities/capacitances of GdHCCo at various current densities were almost twice higher than those observed for state-of-the-art cathode materials under identical conditions. It is also worth mentioning that the capacity of GdHCCo was one of the highest among those of PBAs materials (Table S3). The calculated energy and power densities of the GdHCCo (normalized to single-electrode weight) showed that this

material occupies a position between high-performance rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors (Figure 4c). Gravimetric energy and power densities at the full-cell level were estimated as 605 Wh kg−1 and 174 W kg−1, respectively, by dividing the half-cell values by a factor of five.63,64 However, as the use of a Li metal anode is not practical, further studies are needed for an in-depth full-cell evaluation of GdHCCo as a cathode material.

Based on the semicircle intercept with the Z’-axis, charge transfer impedance was estimated to be as small as 25 Ω, which was assumed to be the key reason of superior electrochemical properties. In turn, structural comparison of GdHCCo with other PBAs revealed that this small impedance was related to the dependence of Li-ion diffusion on the framework structure. In contrast to other PBAs, GdHCCo has an orthorhombic crystal structure characterized by increased b and c lattice constants that exceed the basic value of 10.5 Å.65 Consequently, the presence of expanded Li-ion transfer channels inside GdHCCo results in increased charge transfer capability. To qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the contributions of diffusion-controlled and capacitive Li-ion storage to the total Li-ion storage capacity of GdHCCo, we subjected the GdHCCo electrode to CV measurements at different scan rates (0.5–2.5 mV s−1) within a constant potential window of 2.2–4.5 V vs. Li+/Li (Figure 5a). The curves obtained at all scan rates displayed a typical EDLC-type rectangular shape, featuring overlaid humps and no obvious distortion. The response currents measured at 3.5 V vs. Li+/Li in CV curves for the GdHCCo are represented in Figure 5b, which depicts the current dependence on the CV sweep rates. As the scan rates increase from 0.5 to 2.5 mV s-1, the relationship between CV scan rates and response currents of the GdHCCo electrode material gradually deviates from the linear manner suggesting the concomitant capacitive and diffusion-limited Li-ion storage. To further disclose this capacitive feature, the dependence of response current (i) on scan rate (v) was modeled by the power law (Eq. 1): i = avb.

Herein, we are interested in the percentage of different capacity contributions at various CV sweep rates. The contribution ratio of the storage mechanisms can be obtained by deriving the Eq. (1) as: i = k1v + k2v1/2,

(2)

where k1v illustrates the capacitive storage, and k2v1/2 represents the diffusionlimited contribution. The acquired results are shown in Figure 5c, which demonstrates that 76% of the total capacity is related to capacitive Li+ storage at 0.5 mV s−1. This contribution was improved with increasing the scan rate (88% at 2.5 mV s−1) indicating that the capacitive storage could be dominant under these conditions and showed that GdHCCo is more suited for use in capacitors.

To further disclose the origin of structural changes caused by Li+ intercalation/deintercalation during the diffusion process, electrodes in diverse charge/discharge states were characterized by ex-situ XRD (Figure 6). The intercalation of Li+ into the GdHCCo framework upon discharge was indicated by the shift of characteristic (021) and (022) peaks to lower angles due to concomitant framework expansion. This process was reversed during charging, as reflected by the shift of the above peaks in 15 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

the opposite direction. Overall, these peaks were well preserved at each charge/discharge state (Figure S11), which was an indicator of highly reversible local stretching. Finally, the preservation of bridging cyanide ligands in each charge/discharge state was confirmed by ex-situ Raman (Figure S12) and FT-IR (Figure S13) analyses.

CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we described an unprecedented synthesis of an orthorhombic Prussian blue analogue, namely GdHCCo, and demonstrated its high performance as a cathode material for Li-ion capacitors. High capacities of 352 and 258 mAh g−1 were obtained at the 10th charge/discharge cycle at 100 and 1,000 mA g−1, respectively, while values of 312 and 251 mAh g−1 were obtained after 250 and 1,000 charge/discharge cycles, respectively, at both current densities. The energy and power densities were estimated to be 605 Wh kg−1 and 174 W kg−1, respectively. Both surface- and diffusioncontrolled processes were found to contribute to Li-ion storage, and the contribution of the former increased from 76% at 0.5 mV s−1 to 88% at 2.5 mV s−1. Finally, the highly reversible nature of Li-ion intercalation/deintercalation into/from GdHCCo was demonstrated by ex-situ instrumental characterizations.
