Commercially available Na4Fe(CN)6 and Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 are two cheap compounds that have ever been investigated as positive electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries. However, poor electronic conductivity of Na4Fe(CN)6 and sodium deficiency of Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 prevent these two materials from being used in practical rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. In this paper, a NaFeFe(CN)6 cathode material was synthesized by ball milling the Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3/ Na4Fe(CN)6 mixture. The obtained NaFeFe(CN)6 demonstrated a single cubic phase indexed to Fm3m space group similar to Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 but with larger lattice parameter due to the existence of Na+ in the lattice framework. The NaFeFe(CN)6 electrode delivered first desodiation capacity of 119.4 mAh g-1 and first sodiation capacity of 153.6 mAh g-1 at 0.05C rate. The NaFeFe(CN)6 showed excellent cycling stability with reversible capacities of 118.2 mAh g-1 and 96.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1C and 1C rate, respectively. In-situ XRD analyses demonstrated a single cubic phase process during charge-discharge of NaFeFe(CN)6 electrode. Low water content benefited from the solid reaction method and the homogenous single phase process during charge/discharge assured the stable long term cycling performance of the NaFeFe(CN)6 product.
