In situ bimetallic-encapsulated strategy improves crystallinity and minimizes lattice strain in sodium-ion batteries.
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are promising sodium‐ion battery (SIBs) cathodes but face practical limitations, including low crystallinity, lattice strain accumulation, and sluggish ion/electron transport. These challenges are overcome through an in situ bimetallic (FeNi)‐encapsulated N‐doped carbon nanotube (FeNi@NCT) precursor strategy to synthesize FeNiPBA/NCT. This approach achieves synergistic “crystallinity‐strain‐transport” optimization: 1) Controlled Fe 2+ /Ni 2+ leaching from precursors promotes high crystallinity; 2) Ni doping weakens framework–Na + interactions and mitigates lattice strain during solid‐solution cycling; 3) An interconnected N‐doped carbon nanotube (NCT) network enhances charge transfer kinetics. Consequently, FeNiPBA/NCT delivers superior rate performance and remarkable cycling stability (83.5% capacity retention after 2000 cycles at 1.0 A g −1 ), demonstrating a scalable paradigm for high‐performance SIB cathodes.
