摘要：Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), as a kind of metal-organic framework-like materials, has attracted great attention in capacitive deionization (CDI) field due to excellent redox activity, but its desalination performance, especially its desalination rate, is greatly limited due to its poor electrical conductivity. Hybridization of PBAs with MXene can potentially solve this problem, but still remains intrinsic limitation, such as poor vertical charge transfer between nano-sheets. Herein, we engineered a three-dimensional (3D) charge transfer pathway in nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF)/MXene through in situ close packing of NiHCF nanoparticles on MXene nano-stacking by electrostatic attraction. Compared to charge transfer mode in two-dimensional (2D) nano-sheets, 3D MXene nano-stacking can not only have excellent conductivity like MXene to provide horizonal charge transfer pathway alongside nano-sheets, but also possess unique vertical charge transfer pathway between nano-sheets. As a result, the NiHCF/MXene exhibits a superior desalination performance with a high desalination capacity of 30 mg g-1, ultrahigh desalination rate of 9.5 mg g-1 min-1 and good cycling stability over 30 cycles. This work demonstrates an effective way to address the poor CDI performance of nickel hexacyanoferrate nanoparticles by employing 3D MXene nano-stacking as charge transfer support, and is of significance to be applied for other nanoparticle materials.
