Abstract
Prussian blue and Prussian blue analogues have attracted increasing attention as versatile framework materials with a wide range of applications in catalysis, energy conversion and storage, and biomedical and environmental fields. In terms of energy storage and conversion, Prussian blue-based materials have emerged as suitable candidates of growing interest for the fabrication of batteries and supercapacitors. Their outstanding electrochemical features such as fast charge-discharge rates, high capacity and prolonged cycling life make them favorable for energy storage application. Furthermore, Prussian blue and its analogues as rechargeable battery anodes can advance significantly by the precise control of their structure, morphology, and composition at the nanoscale. Their tunable structural and electronic properties enable the detection of many types of analytes with high sensitivity and specificity, and thus, they are ideal materials for the development of sensors for environmental detection, disease trend monitoring, and industrial safety. Additionally, Prussian blue-based catalysts display excellent photocatalytic performance for the degradation of pollutants and generation of hydrogen. Specifically, their excellent light capturing and charge separation capabilities make them stand out in photocatalytic processes, providing a sustainable option for environmental remediation and renewable energy production. Besides, Prussian blue coatings have been studied particularly for corrosion protection, forming stable and protective layers on metal surfaces, which extend the lifespan of infrastructural materials in harsh environments. Prussian blue and its analogues are highly valuable materials in healthcare fields such as imaging, drug delivery and theranostics because they are biocompatible and their further functionalization is possible. Overall, this review demonstrates that Prussian blue and related framework materials are versatile and capable of addressing many technical challenges in various fields ranging from power generation to healthcare and environmental management.

Chem Asian J 2024; 19:e202301145. [PMID: 38703395 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202301145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have gained tremendous attention as promising low-cost electrochemically-tunable electrode materials, which can accommodate large Na+ ions with attractive specific capacity and charge-discharge kinetics. However, poor cycling stability caused by lattice strain and volume change remains to be improved. Herein, metal-doping strategy has been demonstrated in FeNiHCF, Na1.40Fe0.90Ni0.10[Fe(CN)6]0.85 ⋅ 1.3H2O, delivering a capacity as high as 148 mAh g-1 at 10 mA g-1. At an exceptionally high rate of 25.6 A g-1, a reversible capacity of ~55 mAh g-1 still can be obtained with a very small capacity decay rate of 0.02 % per cycle for 1000 cycles, considered one of the best among all metal-doped PBAs. This exhibits the stabilizing effect of Ni doping which enhances structural stability and long-term cyclability. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction reveals an extremely small (~1 %) change in unit cell parameters. The Ni substitution is found to increase the electronic conductivity and redox activity, especially at the low-spin (LS) Fe center due to inductive effect. This larger capacity contribution from LS Fe2+C6/Fe3+C6 redox couple is responsible for stable high-rate capability of FeNiHCF. The insight gained in this work may pave the way for the design of other high-performance electrode materials for sustainable sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
As a pioneering battery technology, even though sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are safe, non-flammable, and capable of exhibiting better temperature endurance performance than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), because of lower energy density and larger ionic size, they are not amicable for large-scale applications. Generally, the electrochemical storage performance of a secondary battery can be improved by monitoring the composition and morphology of electrode materials. Because more is the intricacy of a nanostructured composite electrode material, more electrochemical storage applications would be expected. Despite the conventional methods suitable for practical production, the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) would offer enormous opportunities for next-generation battery applications by delicately systematizing the structure and composition at the molecular level to store sodium ions with larger sizes compared with lithium ions. Here, the review comprehensively discusses the progress of nanostructured MOFs and their derivatives applied as negative and positive electrode materials for effective sodium storage in SIBs. The commercialization goal has prompted the development of MOFs and their derivatives as electrode materials, before which the synthesis and mechanism for MOF-based SIB electrodes with improved sodium storage performance are systematically discussed. Finally, the existing challenges, possible perspectives, and future opportunities will be anticipated.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have advantages such as high voltage and low cost, making them one kind of the promising positive electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Particle dispersion is a key physical parameter of electrode materials, and understanding its impact on electrochemical performance is a prerequisite for obtaining high-performance PBAs. In this article, two PBAs samples with different particle dispersion were synthesized through sodium citrate-assisted co-precipitation method by means of staying and stirring. The influence of particle dispersion on electrochemical performance was investigated through polarization curve and AC impedance tests. It was found that PBAs with well-dispersed particles exhibited excellent rate performance, with a capacity of ~120 mAh g-1 at 1 C rate and a capacity retention of 75 % after 100 cycles. The capacity retention rate could reach 63 % at 5 C rate, far higher than that of PBAs samples with poor particle dispersion. From the perspective of electrochemical kinetics analysis, it has been shown that PBAs with well-dispersed particles exhibit smaller electrochemical polarization and faster Na+ diffusion reaction kinetics, which are key factors in achieving excellent rate performance.

In Situ Growth of Sodium Manganese Hexacyanoferrate on Carbon Nanotubes for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Batteries. Molecules 2024; 29:313.

Abstract
Sodium manganese hexacyanoferrate (NaMnHCF) has emerged as a research hotspot among Prussian blue analogs for sodium-ion battery cathode materials due to its advantages of high voltage, high specific capacity, and abundant raw materials. However, its practical application is limited by its poor electronic conductivity. In this study, we aim to solve this problem through the in situ growth of NaMnHCF on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) using a simple coprecipitation method. The results show that the overall electronic conductivity of NaMnHCF is significantly improved after the introduction of CNTs. The NaMnHCF@10%CNT sample presents a specific capacity of 90 mA h g-1, even at a current density of 20 C (2400 mA g-1). The study shows that the optimized composite exhibits a superior electrochemical performance at different mass loadings (from low to high), which is attributed to the enhanced electron transport and shortened electron pathway. Surprisingly, the cycling performance of the composites was also improved, resulting from decreased polarization and the subsequent reduction in the side reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface. Furthermore, we revealed the evolution of potential plateau roots from the extraction of crystal water during the charge-discharge process of NaMnHCF based on the experimental results. This study is instructive not only for the practical application of NaMnHCF materials but also for advancing our scientific understanding of the behavior of crystal water during the charge-discharge process.

Abstract
Tetracyanonickelate (TCN)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show great potential in electrochemical applications such as supercapacitors due to their layered morphology and tunable structure. This study reports on improved electrochemical performance of exfoliated manganese tetracyanonickelate (Mn-TCN) nanosheets produced by the heat-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) technique. The structural change was confirmed by the Raman frequency shift of the C≡N band from 2177 to 2182 cm-1 and increased band gap from 3.15 to 4.33 eV in the exfoliated phase. Statistical distribution obtained from atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows that 50% of the nanosheets are single-to-four-layered and have an average lateral size of ∼240 nm2 and thickness of ∼1.2-4.8 nm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns suggest that the material maintains its crystallinity after exfoliation. It exhibits an almost 6-fold improvement in specific capacitance (from 13.0 to 72.5 F g-1) measured at a scan rate of 5 mV s-1 in 1 M KOH solution. Galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) measurement shows a capacity enhancement from ∼18 F g-1 in the bulk phase to ∼45 F g-1 in the exfoliated phase at a current density of 1 A g-1. Bulk crystals exhibit an increasing trend of capacitance retention by ∼125% over 1000 charge-discharge cycles attributed to electrochemical exfoliation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) demonstrates a 5-fold reduction in the total equivalent series resistance (ESR) from 4864 Ω (bulk) to 1089 Ω (exfoliated). The enhanced storage capacity in the exfoliated phase results from the combined effect of the electrochemical double-layer charge storage mechanism at the nanosheet-electrolyte interface and the Faradic process characteristic of the pseudocapacitive charge storage behavior.

Abstract
Liesegang patterns that develop as a result of reaction-diffusion can simultaneously form products with slightly different sizes spatially separated in a single medium. We show here a reaction-diffusion method using a dormant reagent (citrate) for developing Liesegang patterns of cobalt hexacyanoferrate Prussian Blue analog (PBA) particle libraries. This method slows the precipitation reaction and produces different-sized particles in a gel medium at different locations. The gel-embedded particles are still catalytically active. Finally, the applicability of the new method to other PBAs and 2D systems is presented. The method proves promising for obtaining similar inorganic framework libraries with catalytic abilities.

Abstract
Transition-metal selenides have captured significant research attention as anode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical specific capacities and excellent electronic conductivity. However, volumetric expansion and inferior cycle life still hinder their practical application. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) ordered macroporous bimetallic (Mn,Fe) selenide modified by a carbon layer (denoted as 3DOM-MnFeSex@C) composite containing a heterojunction interface is fabricated through selenizing a 3D ordered macroporous Mn-based Prussian Blue analogue single crystal. The 3DOM-MnFeSex@C exhibits hierarchically porous architecture with enhanced mass-transfer efficiency; MnSe and FeSe2 particles are encapsulated into macroporous carbon framework, which can significantly promote the electronic conductivity and maintain the structural integrity. The density functional theory calculation indicates that the heterojunction interface between MnSe and FeSe2 has been successfully engineered so that Na+ can be readily adsorbed and rapidly converted, thus promoting the reaction kinetics and extending the cyclic life. As expected, the 3DOM-MnFeSex@C composite delivers excellent rate performance (277.6 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1), and prolonged cycling life (191.6 mA h g-1 even after 1000 cycles at 2 A g-1) as a sodium storage anode. The sodium storage mechanism of the composite was further investigated by in situ X-ray diffraction and ex situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy characterization techniques.

Abstract
Because of the high safety and environmental friendliness, aqueous zinc-ion batteries have gained a lot of attention in recent years. Prussian blue and its analogues are regarded as a promising cathode material of zinc-ion batteries. Manganese hexacyanoferrate is appropriate among them due to its high operating voltage, large capacity, and cheap price. However, the poor cycling stability of manganese hexacyanoferrate, mainly caused by transition metal dissolution, side reaction, and phase transition, greatly restricts its practical application. In this work, gelatin is used to limit the content of free water in the electrolyte, thus reducing the dissolution effect of transition metal manganese. The introduction of gelatin improves the durability of the Zn anode as well. The optimized MnHCF/gel-0.3/Zn battery displays a high reversible capacity (120 mAh·g-1 at 0.1 A·g-1), an excellent rate performance (42.7 mAh·g-1 at 2 A·g-1), and a good capacity retention (65% at 0.5 A·g-1 after 1000 cycles).

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues are considered as promising candidates for aqueous sodium-ion batteries providing a decently high energy density for stationary energy storage. However, suppose the operation of such materials under high-power conditions could be facilitated. In that case, their application might involve fast-response power grid stabilization and enable short-distance urban mobility due to fast re-charging. In this work, sodium nickel hexacyanoferrate thin-film electrodes are synthesized via a facile electrochemical deposition approach to form a model system for a robust investigation. Their fast-charging capability is systematically elaborated with regard to the electroactive material thickness in comparison to a ″traditional″ composite-type electrode. It is found that quasi-equilibrium kinetics allow extremely fast (dis)charging within a few seconds for sub-micron film thicknesses. Specifically, for a thickness below ≈ 500 nm, 90% of the capacity can be retained at a rate of 60C (1 min for full (dis)charge). A transition toward mass transport control is observed when further increasing the rate, with thicker films being dominated by this mode earlier than thinner films. This can be entirely attributed to the limiting effects of solid-state diffusion of Na+ within the electrode material. By presenting a PBA model cell yielding 25 Wh kg-1 at up to 10 kW kg-1, this work highlights a possible pathway toward the guided design of hybrid battery-supercapacitor systems. Furthermore, open challenges associated with thin-film electrodes are discussed, such as the role of parasitic side reactions, as well as increasing the mass loading.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are promising cathode materials for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) owing to their large open framework structure. As the K+ migration rate and storage sites rely highly on the periodic lattice arrangement, it is rather important to guarantee the high crystallinity of PBAs. Herein, highly crystalline K2 Fe[Fe(CN)6 ] (KFeHCF-E) is synthesized by coprecipitation, adopting the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium salt as a chelating agent. As a result, an excellent rate capability and ultra-long lifespan (5000 cycles at 100 mA g-1 with 61.3% capacity maintenance) are achieved when tested in KIBs. The highest K+ migration rate of 10-9 cm2 s-1 in the bulk phase is determined by the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique. Remarkably, the robust lattice structure and reversible solid-phase K+ storage mechanism of KFeHCF-E are proved by in situ XRD. This work offers a simple crystallinity optimization method for developing high-performance PBAs cathode materials in advanced KIBs.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are considered as efficient catalysts for energy-related applications due to their porous nanoscale architectures containing finely disseminated active sites. Their catalytic capability can be greatly boosted by the rational design and construction of complex PBA hybrid nanostructures. However, present-day structure engineering inevitably involves additional etchant or procedure. Herein, a facile, yet controllable one-pot self-assembly strategy is introduced to prepare hierarchical core-shell polymetallic PBAs (featuring bimetallic FeMn PBAs cores and CoNi PBAs shells) with hollow nano-cages/solid nano-cube architectures. The detailed characterization of material morphology/composition, assisted with theoretical simulations, reveals the underlying formation mechanism where the key factor is the control of the nucleation rate via the use of chelating agent (citrates) and reaction kinetics. The resulting FeMn@CoNi-H compound is found to accelerate the oxygen evolution reaction activity with a low overpotential (236 mV at a current density 10 mA cm-2 ) as well as a low Tafel slope (58.4 mV dec-1 ). Such an impressive performance is endowed by the rational compositional and structural design with optimized electronic structures as well as an increase in exposed active sites. This work provides a robust, cost-effective pathway that enables chemical and morphological control in creating high-performance catalysts for water electrolysis.

Abstract
The Fe-based Prussian blue (Fe-PB) composite is considered as one of the most potential cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of its abundant iron resources and high theoretical capacity. However, the crystal water and vacancy in the Fe-PB structure will lead to poor capacity and cycle stability. In this work, a Cu-modified Fe-PB composite (FeCu-PB@CuO) is successfully prepared through regulating the Fe-PB structure by Cu doping and engineering the surface by CuO coating. The density functional theory calculation results confirm that Cu preferentially replaces FeHS in the Fe-PB lattice and Cu doping reduces the bandgap. Our experiment results reveal that CuO coating can provide more active sites, inhibit side reactions, and potentially enhance the activity of FeHS. Due to the synergistic effect of Cu doping and CuO coating, FeCu-PB@CuO has a considerable initial discharge capacity of 123.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1. In particular, at 2 A g-1, it delivers an impressive initial capacity of 84.3 mAh g-1, and the capacity decreasing rate of each cycle is only 0.02% over 1500 cycles. Therefore, the synergistic modification strategy of metal ion doping and metal oxide coating has tremendous application potential and can be extended to other electrode materials.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have attracted extensive attention as cathode materials in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their low cost, high theoretical capacity, and facile synthesis process. However, it is of great challenge to control the crystal vacancies and interstitial water formed during the aqueous co-precipitation method, which are also the key factors in determining the electrochemical performance. Herein, an antioxidant and chelating agent co-assisted non-aqueous ball-milling method to generate highly-crystallized Na2- x Fe[Fe(CN)6 ]y with hollow structure is proposed by suppressing the speed and space of crystal growth. The as-prepared Na2- x Fe[Fe(CN)6 ]y hollow nanospheres show low vacancies and interstitial water content, leading to a high sodium content. As a result, the Na-rich Na1.51 Fe[Fe(CN)6 ]0.87 ·1.83H2 O hollow nanospheres exhibit a high initial Coulombic efficiency, excellent cycling stability, and rate performance via a highly reversible two-phase transition reaction confirmed by in situ X-ray diffraction. It delivers a specific capacity of 124.2 mAh g-1 at 17 mA g-1 , presenting ultra-high rate capability (84.1 mAh g-1 at 3400 mA g-1 ) and cycling stability (65.3% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 170 mA g-1 ). Furthermore, the as-reported non-aqueous ball-milling method could be regarded as a promising method for the scalable production of PBAs as cathode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
The enhancement of the structural stability of conversion-based metal sulfides at high current densities remains a major challenge in realizing the practical application of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The instability of metal sulfides is caused by the large volume variation and sluggish reaction kinetics upon sodiation/desodiation. To overcome this, herein, a heterostructured nanocube anode composed of CuS/FeS2 embedded in nitrogen-doped carbon (CuS/FeS2 @NC) is synthesized. Size- and shape-controlled porous carbon nanocubes containing metallic nanoparticles are synthesized by the two-step pyrolysis of a bimetallic Prussian blue analog (PBA) precursor. The simple sulfurization-induced formation of highly conductive CuS along with FeS2 facilitates sodium-ion diffusion and enhances the redox reversibility upon cycling. The mesoporous carbon structure provides excellent electrolyte impregnation, efficient charge transport pathways, and good volume expansion buffering. The CuS/FeS2 @NC nanocube anode exhibits excellent sodium storage characteristics including high desodiation capacity (608 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 ), remarkable long-term cycle life (99.1% capacity retention after 300 cycles at 5 A g-1 ), and good rate capability up to 5 A g-1 . The simple, facile synthetic route combined with the rational design of bimetallic PBA nanostructures can be widely utilized in the development of conversion-based metal sulfides and other high-capacity anode materials for high-performance SIBs.

Abstract
Owing to their open three-dimensional framework structure, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have attracted increasing interest as anode materials for future lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, some disadvantages, such as inferior stability and short cycle life, hinder its utilization significantly. Hence, we develop a simple method to prepare a unique truncated octahedral ZnMnFe-PBA with exposed {111} crystal facets. The doping of Zn into Mn-based PBA enhances structural stability and improves the electronic conductivity. Meanwhile, low-temperature calcination not only improves the electrochemical activity but also preserves the porosity to enable mass transfer. When the ratio of Mn:Zn is 90:10 and the calcination temperature is 100 °C, sample Z10-100 displays high capacity and excellent cycle life (∼510.6 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, 168.9 mA h g-1 after 5000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 with 99.9% capacity retention). The significant improvements in cycle stability and cycle life are attributable to transition metal ion doping and effective low-temperature calcination activation, which provide a facile approach for the synthesis of low-cost and efficient electrode materials.

Abstract
Prussian blue is an iron-cyanide-based pigment steadily becoming a widely used electrochemical sensor in detecting hydrogen peroxide at low concentration levels. Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have been extensively studied using traditional ensemble methods, which only provide averaged information. Investigating PBNPs at a single entity level is paramount for correlating the electrochemical activities to particle structures and will shed light on the major factors governing the catalyst activity of these nanoparticles. Here we report on using plasmonic electrochemical microscopy (PEM) to study the electrochemistry of PBNPs at the individual nanoparticle level. First, two types of PBNPs were synthesized; type I synthesized with double precursors method and type II synthesized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) assisted single precursor method. Second, both PBNPs types were compared on their electrochemical reduction to form Prussian white, and the effect from the different particle structures was investigated. Type I PBNPs provided better PEM sensitivity and were used to study the catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Progressively decreasing plasmonic signals with respect to increasing hydrogen peroxide concentration were observed, demonstrating the capability of sensing hydrogen peroxide at a single nanoparticle level utilizing this optical imaging technique.

Abstract
The challenges of improving electrical conductivities and enhanced rapid dynamics are active research areas in the modification of Prussian blue (PB) and Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), which are used as excellent cathodes of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, the terephthalic acid etched stepwise hollow bulky PB cubes and the intimate contact mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) particles with the adhered minisize PB cubes can together build continuous conductive networks. The composite (donated as N-PB@CMK) has high electrical conductivity, low resistance, and ultrahigh specific surface, which can lead to high capacitive contribution ratios. The N-PB@CMK electrode can deliver a discharge capacity of 120 mAh g-1 and maintain retention of 85.0% after cycling for 200 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1. Even cycling at 1 A g-1, the reversible capacity can be measured to 102 mAh g-1 and exhibit stability over a long cycle. In situ Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were further measured to illustrate the phase transition of crystal structure along with the extraction/insertion processes of Na+ ions. Especially, the assembled full cell with NaTi2(PO4)3@C anode can also show good stability and provide promising insights of applying the N-PB@CMK for energy storage systems in the future.

Abstract
Manganese-based Prussian Blue, Na2-δ Mn[Fe(CN)6 ] (MnPB), is a good candidate for sodium-ion battery cathode materials due to its high capacity. However, it suffers from severe capacity decay during battery cycling due to the destabilizing Jahn-Teller distortions it undergoes as Mn2+ is oxidized to Mn3+ . Herein, the structure is stabilized by a thin epitaxial surface layer of nickel-based Prussian Blue (Na2-δ Ni[Fe(CN)6 ]). The one-pot synthesis relies on a chelating agent with an unequal affinity for Mn2+ and Ni2+ ions, which prevents Ni2+ from reacting until the Mn2+ is consumed. This is a new and simpler synthesis of core-shell materials, which usually needs several steps. The material has an electrochemical capacity of 93 mA h g-1 , of which it retains 96 % after 500 charge-discharge cycles (vs. 37 % for MnPB). Its rate capability is also remarkable: at 4 A g-1 (ca. 55 C) it can reversibly store 70 mA h g-1 , which is also reflected in its diffusion coefficient of ca. 10-8 cm2 s-1 . The epitaxial outer layer appears to exert an anisotropic strain on the inner layer, preventing the Jahn-Teller distortions it normally undergoes during de-sodiation.

Abstract
Coprecipitation effortlessly fabricated nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) with outstanding rate capability and stability for aqueous batteries. Citrate-aided coprecipitation decelerated the crystallization, assembling cubic-shaped powder based on separation between nucleation and growth. This study revealed that coprecipitation temperature determined the electrochemical performance. With lower temperatures, smaller particles with more water were formed by predominant nucleation, resulting in low crystallinity and capacity of 58 mAh g-1 . Expanded surface area reduced electrode/electrolyte interface charge-transfer resistance and showed excellent rate capability (79 % of initial capacity at 100 C-rate). However, poor cyclability was obtained. At elevated temperatures, nuclei growth and dehydration occurred, and thus highly crystalline large particles were formed. In turn, NiHCF delivered excellent capacity of 76 mAh g-1 at 1 C-rate but exhibited inferior rate performance because of longer diffusional path. Meanwhile, normal coprecipitation at 70 °C induced irregular-shaped tiny particles, presenting 93 % retention of initial capacity at 100 C-rate.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) featuring large interstitial voids and rigid structures are broadly recognized as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the conventionally prepared PBAs inevitably suffer from inferior crystallinity and lattice defects, leading to low specific capacity, poor rate capability, and unsatisfied long-term stability. As the Na+ migration within PBAs is directly dependent on the periodic lattice arrangement, it is of essential significance to improve the crystallinity of PBAs and hence ensure long-range lattice periodicity. Herein, a chemical inhibition strategy is developed to prepare a highly crystallized Prussian blue (Na2Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3), which displays an outstanding rate performance (78 mAh g-1 at 100 C) and long life-span properties (62% capacity retention after 2000 cycles) in sodium storage. Experimental results and kinetic analyses demonstrate the efficient electron transfer and smooth ion diffusion within the bulk phase of highly crystallized Prussian blue. Moreover, in situ X-ray diffraction and in situ Raman spectroscopy results demonstrate the robust crystalline framework and reversible phase transformation between cubic and rhombohedral within the charge-discharge process. This research provides an innovative way to optimize PBAs for advanced rechargeable batteries from the perspective of crystallinity.

Abstract
We report a comparison of different common synthetic strategies for preparation of Prussian blue analogues (PBA). PBA are promising as cathode material for a number of different battery types, including K-ion and Na-ion batteries with both aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. PBA exhibit a significant degree of structural variation. The structure of the PBA determines the electrochemical performance, and it is, therefore, important to understand how synthesis parameters affect the structure of the obtained product. PBA are often synthesized by co-precipitation of a metal salt and a hexacyanoferrate complex, and parameters such as concentration and oxidation state of the precursors, flow rate, temperature and additional salts can all potentially affect the structure of the product. Here, we report 12 different syntheses and compare the structure of the obtained PBA materials.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is considered to be an alternative water purification technology because of its low cost and low driven energy. However, the desalination performance of traditional CDI still cannot meet the requirement of actual operations, which is the limited adsorption capacity of carbon electrodes. Here, we report a feasible and simple strategy for the synthesis of a three-dimensional hierarchical composite with homogeneous Prussian blue analogue nanoparticles, decorating hierarchical porous carbon nanosheet networks (NiHCF@3DC-2) as a redox-active intercalation electrode material for hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI). The interconnected network structure, accompanied by its unique porous characteristic and uniform NiHCF nanoparticles, endows the prepared NiHCF@3DC-2 with enough straining space for alleviating the effect of volume change upon the regeneration process and guarantees fast transmission kinetics for both electrons and salt ions. As a consequence, an HCDI cell with NiHCF@3DC-2 and activated carbon showed superior desalination ability with a high ion removal capacity of 47.8 mg g-1 (107.5 mg g-1 NiHCF@3DC-2) and good cyclic regenerative performance. Moreover, the Na+ ions storage mechanism and the interfacial synergy of the NiHCF@3DC-2 were also explored by structure and electrochemistry analyses during the CDI process. Our work provides a promising redox-active intercalation electrode material to highly efficient hybrid capacitive deionization for brine.

Abstract
Iron-based Prussian blue analogs are promising low-cost and easily prepared cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Their materials quality and electrochemical performance are heavily reliant on the precipitation process. Here we report a controllable precipitation method to synthesize high-performance Prussian blue for sodium-ion storage. Characterization of the nucleation and evolution processes of the highly crystalline Prussian blue microcubes reveals a rhombohedral structure that exhibits high initial Coulombic efficiency, excellent rate performance, and cycling properties. The phase transitions in the as-obtained material are investigated by synchrotron in situ powder X-ray diffraction, which shows highly reversible structural transformations between rhombohedral, cubic, and tetragonal structures upon sodium-ion (de)intercalations. Moreover, the Prussian blue material from a large-scale synthesis process shows stable cycling performance in a pouch full cell over 1000 times. We believe that this work could pave the way for the real application of Prussian blue materials in sodium-ion batteries. Here the authors deploy a scalable synthesis route to prepare sodium-rich Na2−xFeFe(CN)6 cathode materials for sodium-ion battery. The highly reversible structural evolution during cycling between rhombohedral, cubic and tetragonal phases is the key to enable the good performance.

Abstract
Potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate (KMHCF) is a low-cost Prussian blue analogue (PBA) having a rigid and open framework that can accommodate large alkali ions. Herein, the synthesis of KMHCF and its application as a high-performance cathode in sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) is reported. High-quality KMHCF with low amounts of crystal water and defects and with homogeneous microstructure is obtained by controlling the nucleation and grain growth by using a high-concentration citrate solution as a precipitation medium. The obtained KMHCF exhibits superior cycling and rate performance as a NIB cathode, showing 80% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1 C and a high capacity of 95 mA h g-1 at 20 C. Unlike conventional single-cation batteries, the hybrid NIB with KMHCF as cathode and Na as anode in Na-ion electrolyte displays three reversible plateaus that involve stepwise insertion/extraction of both K+ and Na+ in the PBA framework. In later cycling, the K+ -Na+ cointercalated phase is partially converted into a cubic sodium manganese hexacyanoferrate (NaMHCF) phase due to the increasing replacement of Na+ for K+ .

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) with stable framework structures are ideal cathodes for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. The chelating agent-assisted coprecipitate method is an effective way to obtain low-defect PBAs that can limit the appearance of too many vacancies and water molecules and achieve an optimized Na-storage performance. However, for this method, the mechanism of chelating agent-assisted synthesis is still unclear. Herein, the synthesis process of nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) has been investigated by in situ infrared spectroscopy detection. The results show that the chelating agent oxalate slows down the nucleation process and effectively inhibits the formation of the Fe-C≡N-Ni frame in the aging process, producing highly crystallized and low-defect NiHCF samples. High-quality NiHCF presents a high specific capacity of 86.3 mAh g-1 (a theoretical value of ∼85 mAh g-1), an ultrastable cyclic retention of 90% over 800 cycles, and a remarkable high capacity retention of 74.6% at a current density of 4250 mA g-1 (50C). Particularly, the NiHCF//hard carbon full cell presents a high specific energy density of over 210 Wh kg-1 and an outstanding cyclic stability without obvious capacity attenuation over 1000 cycles.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) formed with hexacyanide linkers have been studied for decades. The framework crystal structure of PBAs mainly benefits from the six-fold coordinated cyano functional groups. In this study, in-plane tetracyanonickelate was utilized to engineer an organic linker and design a family of four-fold coordinated PBAs (FF-PBAs; Fe2+Ni(CN)4, MnNi(CN)4, Fe3+Ni(CN)4, CuNi(CN)4, CoNi(CN)4, ZnNi(CN)4, and NiNi(CN)4), which showed an interesting two-dimensional (2D) crystal structure. It was found that these FF-PBAs could be utilized as cathode materials of Li-ion batteries, and the Ni/Fe2+ system exhibited superior electrochemical properties compared to the others with a capacity of 137.9 mA h g-1 at a current density of 100 mA g-1. Furthermore, after a 5000-cycle long-term repeated charge/discharge measurement, the Ni/Fe2+ system displayed a capacity of 60.3 mA h g-1 with a coulombic efficiency of 98.8% at a current density of 1000 mA g-1. In addition, the capacity of 86.1% was preserved at 1000 mA g-1 as compared with that at 100 mA g-1, implying a good rate capability. These potential capacities can be ascribed to an in situ reduction of Li+ in the interlayer of Ni/Fe2+ instead of the formation of other compounds with the host material according to ex situ XRD characterization. These specially designed FF-PBAs are expected to inspire new concepts in electrochemistry and other applications requiring 2D materials.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have drawn considerable interest as power-storage devices owing to the wide abundance of their constituents and low cost. To realize a high performance-price ratio, the cathode and anode materials must be optimized. As essential components of SIBs, electrolytes should have wide electrochemical windows, high thermal stability, and exceptional ionic conductivity. Therefore, improved electrolytes, based on various materials and compositions, are developed to meet the practical demands of SIBs, including organic electrolytes, ionic liquids, aqueous, solid electrolytes, and hybrid electrolytes. Although mature organic electrolytes are currently used in production, aqueous and solid electrolytes show advantages for future applications, as discussed here in detail. Current efforts in modifying electrolytes to optimize their interfacial compatibility with electrodes, leading to longer battery lifetimes and greater safety, are described. The advanced characterization techniques used to investigate the properties of electrolytes and interfaces are introduced, and the reaction processes and degradation mechanisms of SIBs are revealed. Furthermore, the practical prospects of SIBs promoted by high-quality electrolytes appropriately matched with electrodes are predicted and directions for developing next-generation SIBs are suggested.

Abstract
Cobalt hexacyanoferrate of various compositions was prepared in flow mode and the role of the vacancy on the structure, thermogravimetric (TG) properties, and the adsorption efficiency was studied. The material, Nay Co[Fe(CN)6 ]1-x ⋅z H2 O, with a minimum vacancy of x=0.014 to the highest x=0.47, was obtained. The TG-differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) profile showed a distinct influence of the vacancy on the water release temperature. Materials with x>0.35 showed a smooth release of water at a relatively lower temperature. However, for the materials with x<0.35, water release took place in multiple steps, suggesting the existence of various forms of water. The FTIR profiles supported the existence of free and bonded water molecules. However, the materials with multiple water peaks in the FTIR spectra showed a shift of the major XRD peaks when heated at 285 °C in N2 atmosphere. Regarding the effect of the vacancy on the adsorption behavior, for NH4 , the adsorption was found to be proportional to the number of Na atoms in the material, confirming the ion-exchange process. On the contrary, the materials with low vacancy and high Na content showed nominal Cs adsorption capacity. Interestingly, the K adsorption capacity was found to be in between that of the other two ions. This means the ionic size decides the rate of placement into the interstitial sites. For larger ions like Cs, the ease of percolation via the vacancy decides the overall adsorption efficiency.

Abstract
Prussian blue and its analogs are regarded as the promising cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Recently, various special structures are constructed to improve the electrochemical properties of these materials. In this study, a novel architecture of Prussian blue analogs with large cavity and multilayer shells is investigated as cathode material for SIBs. Because the hollow structure can relieve volume expansion and core-shell heterostructure can optimize interfacial properties, the complex structure materials exhibited a highly initial capacity of 123 mA h g-1 and a long cycle life. After 600 cycles, the reversible capacity of the electrode still maintains at 102 mA h g-1 without significant voltage decay, indicating a superior structure stability and sodium storage kinetics. Even at high current density of 3200 mA g-1 , the electrode still delivers a considerable capacity above 52 mA h g-1 . According to the electrochemical analysis and ex-situ measurements, it can be inferred that the enhanced apparent diffusion coefficient and improved insertion/extraction performance of electrode have been obtained by building this new morphology.

Abstract
Owing to its high specific capacity, silicon is considered as a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). However, the synthesis strategies for previous silicon-based anode materials with a delicate hierarchical structure are complicated or hazardous. Here, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), widely used in ink, are deposited on the silicon nanoparticle surface (PBAs@Si-450) to modify silicon nanoparticles with transition metal atoms and a N-doped carbon layer. A facile and green synthesis procedure of PBAs@Si-450 nanocomposites was carried out in a coprecipitation process, combined with a thermal treatment process at 450 °C. As-prepared PBAs@Si-450 delivers a reversible charge capacity of 725.02 mAh g-1 at 0.42 A g-1 after 200 cycles. Moreover, this PBAs@Si-450 composite exhibits an exceptional rate performance of ∼1203 and 263 mAh g-1 at current densities of 0.42 and 14 A g-1, respectively, and fully recovered to 1136 mAh g-1 with the current density returning to 0.42 A g-1. Such a novel architecture of PBAs@Si-450 via a facile fabrication process represents a promising candidate with a high-performance silicon-based anode for LIBs.

Abstract
Non-lithium energy storage devices, especially sodium ion batteries, are drawing attention due to insufficient and uneven distribution of lithium resources. Prussian blue and its analogs (Prussian blue analogs [PBAs]), or hexacyanoferrates, are well-known since the 18th century and have been used for hydrogen storage, cancer therapy, biosensing, seawater desalination, and sewage treatment. Owing to their unique features, PBAs are receiving increasing interest in the field of energy storage, such as their high theoretical specific capacity, ease of synthesis, as well as low cost. In this review, a general summary and evaluation of the applications of PBAs for rechargeable batteries are given. After a brief review of the history of PBAs, their crystal structure, nomenclature, synthesis, and working principle in rechargeable batteries are discussed. Then, previous works classified based on the combination of insertion cations and transition metals are analyzed comprehensively. The review includes an outlook toward the further development of PBAs in electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Recently, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are extensively explored and are regarded as one of the most promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for electrochemical energy conversion and storage, owing to the abundant raw material resources, low cost, and similar electrochemical behavior of elemental sodium compared to lithium. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted enormous attention due to their high surface areas, tunable structures, and diverse applications in drug delivery, gas storage, and catalysis. Recently, there has been an escalating interest in exploiting MOF-derived materials as anodes for sodium energy storage due to their fast mass transport resulting from their highly porous structures and relatively simple preparation methods originating from in situ thermal treatment processes. In this Review, the recent progress of the sodium-ion storage performances of MOF-derived materials, including MOF-derived porous carbons, metal oxides, metal oxide/carbon nanocomposites, and other materials (e.g., metal phosphides, metal sulfides, and metal selenides), as SIB anodes is systematically and completely presented and discussed. Moreover, the current challenges and perspectives of MOF-derived materials in electrochemical energy storage are discussed.
