Abstract
This study presents a novel approach to decontaminate ferrocyanide-contaminated wastewater. The work effectively demonstrates the use of bimetallic Mo/Zr-UiO-66 as a super-adsorbent for rapid sequestration of Prussian blue, a frequently found iron complex in cyanide-contaminated soils/groundwater. The exceptional performance of Mo/Zr-UiO-66 is attributed to the insertion of secondary metallic sites, which deliver synergistic effects, benefiting the inherent qualities of the framework. Moreover, to extend the industrial applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in real-world scenarios, an approach is delivered to structure the nanocrystalline powders into MOF-based macrostructures. The work demonstrates an interfacial process to develop continuous MOF nanostructures on ordinary laboratory-grade filter papers. The novelty of the work lies in the development of robust free-standing filtration materials to purify PB dye-contaminated water. Additionally, the work embraces a circular economy concept to address problems related to resource scarcity, excessive waste production, and maintenance of economic benefits. Consequently, the PB dye-loaded adsorbent waste is re-employed for the adsorption of heavy metals (Pb2+ and Cd2+ ). Simultaneously, the study aims to address the problems related to the real-time handling of powdered adsorbents, and the generation of ecologically harmful secondary waste, thereby, progressing toward a more sustainable system.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is composed of the coordination network of Fe2+-CN-Fe3+ mixed valence state as a classic metal complex, which includes a C atom and Fe2+ (low spin), N atom and Fe3+ (high spin). PB and its analogues (PBA) have excellent biosafety, good magnetic properties, outstanding photothermal properties and the ability to mimic enzymatic behaviors due to their stable structure, tunable size, controllable morphology, abundant modification methods and excellent physicochemical properties. They have received increasing research interest and have shown promising applications in the biomedical field. Here, progress in the preparation of PB-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications is summarized and discussed. The preparation strategies, traditional synthesis and emerging preparation methods of PB are summarized systematically in this review. The design and preparation of PBA, PB(PBA)-based hollow structures and PB(PBA)-based composites are also included. While introducing the preparation status, some PB-based nanomaterials that have performed well in specific biomedical fields are emphasized. More importantly, the key factors and future development of PB for the clinical translation as multifunctional nanomaterials are also discussed. This review provides a reference for the design and biomedical application of PB-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
In this study, the potassium copper ferrocyanide-functionalized hollow mesoporous silica spheres was successfully prepared. SEM, FTIR, XRD, EDS, and XPS techniques were used to characterize the structure of materials before and after functionalization. The synthesized functionalized hollow mesoprous silica was applied to remove cesium from aqueous solution. The applicability of the adsorbent for the removal of cesium ions was assessed and the effective parameters such as solution pH, contacting time, initial Cs+ concentration, and competitive ions effect were evaluated systematically under the batch mode. The experimental results showed that the adsorbent exhibited high Cs+ selectivity even in the highly concentrated coexisting ions solution, which makes them to be used as potential adsorbents for the removal of cesium from nuclear wastewater or contaminated groundwater.

Abstract
Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) form crystals with large lattice voids that are suitable for the capture, transport and storage of various interstitial ions. Recently, we introduced the concept of a ladder mechanism to describe how sodium ions inside a PBA crystal structure diffuse by climbing the frames formed by aligned cyanide groups in the host structure. The current work uses semi-empirical tight-binding density functional theory (DFTB) in a multiscale approach to investigate how differences in the size of the monovalent cation affect the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the diffusion process. The results show that the ladder mechanism represents a unified framework, from which both similarities and differences between cation types can be understood. Fundamental Coulombic interactions make all positive cations avoid the open vacant areas in the structure, while cavities surrounded by partially negatively charged cyanide groups form diffusion bottlenecks and traps for larger cations. These results provide a new and quantitative way of understanding the suppression of cesium adsorption that has previously been reported for PBAs characterized by a low vacancy density. In conclusion, this work provides a unified picture of the cation adsorption in PBAs based on the newly formulated ladder mechanism.

Abstract
As the control over radioactive species becomes critical for the contemporary human life, the development of functional materials for decontamination of radioactive substances has also become important. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) porous carbon monolith functionalized with Prussian blue particles was prepared through removal of colloidal silica particles from exfoliated graphene/silica composite precursors. The colloidal silica particles with a narrow size distribution were used to act a role of hard template and provide a sufficient surface area that could accommodate potentially hazardous radioactive substances by adsorption. The unique surface and pore structure of the functionalized porous carbon monolith was examined using electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS). The effective incorporation of PB nanoparticles was confirmed using diverse instrumentations such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A nitrogen adsorption/desorption study showed that surface area and pore volume increased significantly compared with the starting precursor. Adsorption tests were performed with 133Cs ions to examine adsorption isotherms using both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. In addition, adsorption kinetics were also investigated and parameters were calculated. The functionalized porous carbon monolith showed a relatively higher adsorption capacity than that of pristine porous carbon monolith and the bulk PB to most radioactive ions such as 133Cs, 85Rb, 138Ba, 88Sr, 140Ce, and 205Tl. This material can be used for decontamination in expanded application fields.

Abstract
Transition metal layered oxides (LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2, NCM) have been considered as one of the most promising cathodes for lithium-ion batteries used in long-mileage electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Despite its potential interest, dissolved transition metal (TM) ions toward anode sides can catalyze parasitic reactions such as electrolytic decomposition and dendritic Li growth, ultimately leading to catastrophic safety hazards. In this study, we demonstrate that Prussian Blue (PB) nanoparticles anchored to a commercial PE separator significantly reduce cell resistance and effectively suppress TM crossover during cycling, even under harsh conditions that accelerate Ni dissolution. Therefore, using a PB-coated separator in a harsh condition to intentionally dissolve Ni2+ ions at a high cutoff potential of 4.6 V, NCM||graphite full cells maintain 50.8% of their initial capacity at the 150th cycle. Scalable production of PB-coated separator through the facile synthetic methods can help establish a new research direction for the design of high-energy-density batteries.

Abstract
The adsorptive removal of radioactive cesium [Cs(I)] is important for ensuring a clean aquatic environment. In this work, the adsorption of Cs(I) was carried out using Prussian blue (PB) prepared by mechanochemical synthesis. X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy results indicated that PB had been successfully synthesized by mechanochemical synthesis. Thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle analysis, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, elemental analysis, and electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometry confirmed that several defects were formed, explaining the principal mechanism for the efficient adsorption over PB prepared by mechanochemical synthesis. The superior adsorption properties toward Cs(I) make PB prepared by mechanochemical synthesis an attractive candidate material for the efficient, economical, and eco-friendly processes for purifying radioactive wastewater.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) and its analogues (PBAs) are drawing attention as promising materials for sodium-ion batteries and other applications, such as desalination of water. Because of the possibilities to explore many analogous materials with engineered, defect-rich environments, computational optimization of ion-transport mechanisms that are key to the device performance could facilitate real-world applications. In this work, we have applied a multiscale approach involving quantum chemistry, self-consistent mean-field theory, and finite-element modeling to investigate ion transport in PBAs. We identify a cyanide-mediated ladder mechanism as the primary process of ion transport. Defects are found to be impermissible to diffusion, and a random distribution model accurately predicts the impact of defect concentrations. Notably, the inclusion of intermediary local minima in the models is key for predicting a realistic diffusion constant. Furthermore, the intermediary landscape is found to be an essential difference between both the intercalating species and the type of cation doping in PBAs. We also show that the ladder mechanism, when employed in multiscale computations, properly predicts the macroscopic charging performance based on atomistic results. In conclusion, the findings in this work may suggest the guiding principles for the design of new and effective PBAs for different applications.

Abstract
One of the strategies to realize a nitrogen cycle society, we attempted to recover ammonium ions from industrial wastewater, especially sewage water with adsorbent materials. We have developed an adsorbent with high ammonium selectivity based on copper hexacyanoferrate and granulated it as pellets. Using a compact column system filled with this granule adsorbent, ammonium ions were recovered from sewage containing 1000-1500 mg-NH4+/L ammonium ions. Despite the coexistence of many metal ions, the adsorbent selectively and stably adsorbed ammonium ions. Furthermore, it was shown that the saturated adsorbent can be regenerated by flowing a potassium ion solution through a column adsorbent to desorb ammonium ions. In other words, the column can be used repeatedly, and there was almost little deterioration in adsorption even after 250 cycles. In addition, it was shown that by increasing the number of stages of this column, it is possible to sufficiently reduce the ammonium in the adsorbent solution and recover the concentrated ammonium solution.

Abstract
An anion double-walled metal-organic framework [Co2Li4(BTC)3(DMF)(H2O)·(CH3)2N]n (1) based on heterobimetallic Li+ and Co2+ ions was successfully constructed. Utilizing selective destruction and formation of Co-O/Co-N bonds in the metal chains, [Co2Li4(BTC)3(py)(H2O)·(CH3)2N]n (2) and [Co2Li4(BTC)3(pi)(H2O)·(CH3)2N]n (3) with the same skeleton but distinct pore structures can be surprisingly obtained. Additionally, compounds 2 and 3 can be transformed into [Co2Li4(BTC)3(H2O)2·(CH3)2N]n (4) by soaking them in an ethanol solution. This kind of single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation successfully regulates the pore structure of MOFs and enriches the diversity of the pore wall on the premise of retaining the original framework. Most impressively, compound 1 shows high adsorption capacity for Cs+ cations and is a good candidate to selectively accommodate Cs+ among the common alkali metal ions, which is future identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) test. Meanwhile, compound 1 can selectively adsorb methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) molecules over Rhodamine B (RMB).

Abstract
A polymer-based nanofiber membrane with a high specific surface area, high porosity and abundant adsorption sites is demonstrated for selective trapping of radionuclides. The Prussian blue (PB)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanofiber composites were successfully prepared through a one-step, single-nozzle electrospinning method. Various analytical techniques were used to examine the physical and chemical properties of PB nanoparticles and electrospun nanofibers. It is possible to enhance binding affinity and selectivity to radionuclide targets by incorporation of the PB nanoparticles into the polymer matrix. It is noteworthy that the maximum 133Cs adsorption capacity of hte PB/PMMA nanofiber filter is approximately 28 times higher than that of bulk PB, and the removal efficiency is measured to be 95% at 1 ppm of 133Cs. In addition, adsorption kinetics shows that the PB/PMMA nanofiber has a homogenous surface for adsorption, and all sites on the surface have equal adsorption energies in terms of ion-exchange between cyano groups of the introduced PB nanoparticles and radionuclides.

Abstract
Sustainable materials are urgently desired for treatment of radioactive cesium (Cs) contaminated water to safe-guard the public health. Apart from the synthetic ligand-based materials, the Mangrove charcoal modified adsorbent was fabricated for assessing of Cs removal from waste sample. The raw charcoal was oxidized using nitrification approach and diverse oxygen containing carboxyl, carbonyl and hydroxyl functional groups were introduced. After modification, the adsorbent characteristics were drastically changed as compared to the charcoal during the measurement of FTIR, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and SEM micrographs. The data clarified that charcoal modified adsorbent was exhibited high Cs transport through the inner surface of the adsorbent based on bonding ability. The adsorbent was shown comparatively slow kinetics to Cs ion; however, the adsorption capacity was high as 133.54 mg/g, which was higher than the crown ether based conjugate materials. The adsorption data were followed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherms and the monolayer coverage was possible due to the data presentation. The presence of high amount of Na and K were slightly interfered to the Cs adsorption by the charcoal modified adsorbent, however; the Na and K concentration was 350-600 folds higher than the Cs concentration. Then the proposed adsorbent was selective to Cs for the potential real radioactive Cs contaminated water. The volume reduction was established rather than desorption and reuses advantages. More than 99% volume reduction was measured by burning of Cs adsorbed adsorbent at 500 °C for ensuring the safe storage and disposal of used adsorbent. Therefore, the charcoal modified adsorbent may open the new door to treat the Cs containing wastewater.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) and PB analogues (PBA) are coordination network materials that present important similarities with zeolites concretely with their ability of adsorbing cations. Depending on the conditions of preparation, which is cheap and easy, PB can be classified into soluble PB and insoluble PB. The zeolitic-like properties are mainly inherent to insoluble form. This form presents some defects in its cubic lattice resulting in an open structure. The vacancies make PB capable of taking up and trapping ions or molecules into the lattice. Important adsorption characteristics of PB are a high specific area (370 m2 g-1 determined according the BET theory), uniform pore diameter, and large pore width. PB has numerous applications in many scientific and technological fields. PB are assembled into nanoparticles that, due to their biosafety and biocompatibility, can be used for biomedical applications. PB and PBA have been shown to be excellent sorbents of radioactive cesium and radioactive and nonradioactive thallium. Other cations adsorbed by PB are K+, Na+, NH4+, and some divalent cations. PB can also capture gaseous molecules, hydrocarbons, and even luminescent molecules such as 2-aminoanthracene. As the main adsorptive application of PB is the selective removal of cations from the environment, it is important to easily separate the sorbent of the purified solution. To facilitate this, PB is encapsulated into a polymer or coats a support, sometimes magnetic particles. Finally, is remarkable to point out that PB can be recycled and the adsorbed material can be recovered.

Abstract
137Cs is one of the most hazardous radionuclides in nuclear waste owing to its toxicity. Developing an adsorbent for Cs+ with a high capacity and selectivity is a challenging task. A metal-organic framework (MOF) is a material with a high surface area that has been widely applied in wastewater treatment. Exploiting the affinity between ferrocyanide (FC) and Cs+, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was chemically functionalized with FC, ZIF-8-FC to selectively capture Cs+. After functionalization, ZIF-8-FC has a hollow morphology and small FC related crystals, which might result in better migration of Cs+ inside ZIF-8-FC. This synergistic effect was proven by the Qmax of ZIF-8-FC, 422.42 mg g-1, which is 15.9 times higher than that of ZIF-8. Additionally, ZIF-8-FC retained its good adsorption performance within a pH range of 3-11 and an excellent Cs+ selectivity even in artificial seawater conditions. The structure of ZIF-8-FC after adsorption proves its stability. Furthermore, the thermodynamic adsorption implied that higher temperatures are more favorable for Cs+ uptake. This work demonstrates the remarkable adsorption and selectivity of ZIF-8-FC, which make it a promising candidate for remediation of radioactive Cs+.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB), an adsorbent for the selective elimination of radioactive cesium from water, is highly versatile due to its unique crystal structure. However, PB crystals quickly decompose in an alkaline solution, generating hazardous cyanide contamination. In this research, the alkaline susceptibility of PB was remedied by incorporating copper sulfate as a protector. A stability assessment was conducted at several environmental conditions, such as high pH and temperatures from 10 °C to 50 °C, in seawater, artificial seawater, and river water. The crystalline and chemical stability of PB in the new class of composite was extremely high, even at a pH value of 11.2, as confirmed using XRD and total cyanide analysis. A comprehensive mechanism study revealed that, at high pH, the copper ions that cover the PB react with hydroxide ions to form copper hydroxide and shielding inner crystals. To decontaminate radioactive cesium, the first step was to immobilize nano PB on a cellulose nanofiber, followed by copper sulfate stabilization. Then, a spongiform adsorbent was made using polyurethane as the precursor. The new stabilized PB showed promising adsorption efficiency. Thus, this research will open a new range of applications for all existing and emerging PB-based adsorbents.

Abstract
In this study, a hydrogel impregnated with powder activated carbon (PAC), MAA-PAC, was synthesized through the polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and PB was immobilized using the carboxyl group of AA. In this process, an adsorbent with an enhancement of PB content and stability of immobilization was developed through the additional supply of Fe3+ ions by the layer by layer (LBL) assembly. XRD, FT-IR, SEM (EDS), TEM (EDS, mapping), and TG analyzes of the LBL and non-LBL groups were performed to confirm the change of PB content in the adsorbent as the LBL assembly was applied. The stability of PB immobilization was confirmed during the washing process after the synthesis of the adsorbent. When the LBL assembly process was applied as a PB immobilization strategy, the PB content in the adsorbent was improved and PB leakage was not observed during the washing process. The maximum adsorption (qm) for cesium in the MAA-PAC-PB LBL group that showed high PB content was 40.03 mg/g, and the adsorption isotherm was more suitable for the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model. The LBL group showed a high removal efficiency of 99.81% and a high DF value (525.88) for radioactive cesium (120 Bq/g). These results demonstrate the potential efficiency of the MAA-PAC-PB LBL group for the decontamination of radioactive cesium-contaminated water systems. Furthermore, it was verified that the LBL group of MAA-PAC-PB could be used as an adsorbent without an additional design of the existing water treatment facility. This can an economical decontamination method for removing radioactive cesium.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is known to be an effective cesium adsorbent, but the direct application of PB is limited by the difficulty of its recovery from solution. In this study, PB was immobilized on a porous support media, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) sponge, for use as a selective material for cesium adsorption. The commercially available PVA sponge was functionalized by the addition of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) (i.e., PAA-PVA) to enhance the PB immobilization, which increased both PB loading and binding strength. The AA functionalization changed the major functional groups from hydroxyl to carboxylic, as confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. PB was further synthesized in the PAA-PVA using layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly, which contributed to more stable PB formation, and reduced detachment of PB during washing. The prepared adsorbent, PAA-L@PVA-PB, was tested for cesium adsorption capability. Cesium adsorption was equilibrated within three hours, and the maximum cesium adsorption capacity was 4.082 mg/g, which was 5.7 times higher than Pure-L@PVA-PB. The observed decrease in solution pH during cesium adsorption inhibited overall cesium uptake, however, this was minimized by buffering. The prepared PAA-L@PVA-PB was used as a column filling material and its potential use as a countermeasure for removing radioactive cesium from a contaminated water stream was demonstrated.

Abstract
Cesium is a radioactive fission product generated in nuclear power plants and is disposed of as liquid waste. The recent catastrophe at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan has increased the 137Cs and 134Cs concentrations in air, soil and water to lethal levels. 137Cs has a half-life of 30.4 years, while the half-life of 134Cs is around two years, therefore the formers' detrimental effects linger for a longer period. In addition, cesium is easily transported through water bodies making water contamination an urgent issue to address. Presently, efficient water remediation methods towards the extraction of 137Cs are being studied. Prussian blue (PB) and its analogs have shown very high efficiencies in the capture of 137Cs+ ions. In addition, combining them with magnetic nanoparticles such as Fe3O4 allows their recovery via magnetic extraction once exhausted. Graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNT) are the new generation carbon allotropes that possess high specific surface areas. Moreover, the possibility to functionalize them with organic or inorganic materials opens new avenues in water treatment. The combination of PB-CNT/Graphene has shown enhanced 137Cs+ extraction and their possible applications as membranes can be envisaged. This review will survey these nanocomposites, their efficiency in 137Cs+ extraction, their possible toxicity, and prospects in large-scale water remediation and succinctly survey other new developments in 137Cs+ extraction.

Abstract
In this communication, we report the post-synthetic functionalization of K+/Ni2+/[Cr(CN)6]3- Prussian blue analogue (PBA) nanoparticles by the 2-aminoanthracene luminophore to yield a bifunctional magneto-luminescent nanosystem. The photoluminescence properties of the fluorophore are found modified by the confinement effect upon adsorption, while the magnetic behavior of PBA is preserved.

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
Metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCFs), also called Prussian blue analogs, are known as electrochemical electrodes and are ion-adsorbent. To investigate the effect of the ionic radius of the adsorbate (cations adsorbed upon reduction) and the pore size of the adsorbent (porous electrode that stores cations upon reduction), we investigated the electrochemical reactions with various alkali cations and by changing the metal sites of the MHCFs. First, we succeeded in controlling the pore sizes of the MHCFs, where the lattice constant a could be estimated as a = 0.98Dsum + 7.21, where Dsum represented the sum of the ionic diameters of the metal M and Fe. Concerning the electrochemical reaction, the redox potential increased when the hydration energy of the adsorbate decreased, implying that the hydration energy of the adsorbate affected the stability of the reduced state. With cadmium hexacyanoferrate, which has a large pore size, the variation of the redox potential was suppressed in comparison to that with copper hexacyanoferrate, which has a small pore size. With Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) analysis before and after the redox reactions, Na+ insertion accompanied by H2O was presumed in the reduced state. The redox potential of metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCFs), also called Prussian blue analogs, is qualitatively understood with the hydration energy of the cations in the supporting electrolyte.![]()
