Abstract
Manganese (Mn)-based Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are of great interest as a prospective cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high redox potential, easy synthesis, and low cost. However, the Jahn-Teller effect and low electrical conductivity of Mn-based PBA cause poor structure stability and unsatisfactory performance during the cycling. Herein, a novel nickel- and copper-codoped K2Mn[Fe(CN)6] cathode is developed via a simple coprecipitation strategy. The doping elements improve the electrical conductivity of Mn-based PBA by reducing the bandgap, as well as suppress the Jahn-Teller effect by stabilizing the framework, as verified by the density functional theory calculations. Simultaneously, the substitution of sodium with potassium in the lattice is beneficial for filling vacancies in the PBA framework, leading to higher average operating voltages and superior structural stability. As a result, the as-prepared Mn-based cathode exhibits excellent reversible capacity (116.0 mAh g-1 at 0.01 A g-1) and superior cycling stability (81.8% capacity retention over 500 cycles at 0.1 A g-1). This work provides a profitable doping strategy to inhibit the Jahn-Teller structural deformation for designing stable cathode material of SIBs.

Abstract
The growing global energy demand necessitates the development of renewable energy solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. To efficiently utilize renewable yet intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind power, there is a critical need for large-scale energy storage systems (EES) with high electrochemical performance. While lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been successfully used for EES, the surging demand and price, coupled with limited supply of crucial metals like lithium and cobalt, raised concerns about future sustainability. In this context, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have emerged as promising alternatives to commercial LIBs. Leveraging the low cost of potassium resources, abundant natural reserves, and the similar chemical properties of lithium and potassium, PIBs exhibit excellent potassium ion transport kinetics in electrolytes. This review starts from the fundamental principles and structural regulation of PIBs, offering a comprehensive overview of their current research status. It covers cathode materials, anode materials, electrolytes, binders, and separators, combining insights from full battery performance, degradation mechanisms, in situ/ex situ characterization, and theoretical calculations. We anticipate that this review will inspire greater interest in the development of high-efficiency PIBs and pave the way for their future commercial applications.

NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2024; 16:128.

Abstract
Aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) and aqueous potassium-ion batteries (APIBs) present significant potential for large-scale energy storage due to their cost-effectiveness, safety, and environmental compatibility. Nonetheless, the intricate energy storage mechanisms in aqueous electrolytes place stringent requirements on the host materials. Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), with their open three-dimensional framework and facile synthesis, stand out as leading candidates for aqueous energy storage. However, PBAs possess a swift capacity fade and limited cycle longevity, for their structural integrity is compromised by the pronounced dissolution of transition metal (TM) ions in the aqueous milieu. This manuscript provides an exhaustive review of the recent advancements concerning PBAs in ASIBs and APIBs. The dissolution mechanisms of TM ions in PBAs, informed by their structural attributes and redox processes, are thoroughly examined. Moreover, this study delves into innovative design tactics to alleviate the dissolution issue of TM ions. In conclusion, the paper consolidates various strategies for suppressing the dissolution of TM ions in PBAs and posits avenues for prospective exploration of high-safety aqueous sodium-/potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The eco-friendliness, safety, and affordability of aqueous potassium batteries (AKIBs) have made them popular for large-scale energy storage devices. However, the cycling and rate performance of research materials, particularly cobalt hexacyanoferrate, have yet to meet satisfactory standards. Herein, a room-temperature drafted K1.66 Fe0.25 Co0.75 [Fe(CN)6 ]·0.83H2 O (KFCHCF) sample is reported using an in situ substitution strategy. A higher concentration of ferrocyanide ions decreases the water content and increases the potassium content, while citric acid works as a chelating agent and is responsible for Fe-substitution in the KFCHCF sample. The resultant KFCHCF sample exhibits good rate performance, and about 97% and 90.6% of discharge capacity are conserved after 400 and 1000 cycles at 100 and 200 mA g-1 , respectively. The full cell using the KFCHCF cathode and 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride-derived polyimide (PNTCDA) anode maintains ≈74.93% and 74.35% of discharge capacity at 200 mA g-1 and 1000 mA g-1 for 1000 and >10,000 cycles, respectively. Furthermore, ex situ characterizations demonstrate the high reversibility of K-ions and structural stability during the charge-discharge process. Such high performance is attributed to the fast K-ion migration and crystal structure stabilization caused by in situ Fe-substitution in the KFCHCF sample. Other hexacyanoferrates can be synthesized using this method and used in grid-scale storage systems.

Abstract
Lanthanum (La), an "industrial aginomoto" element, exhibits that a small amount of introduction would greatly improve performance. However, La-containing Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) would be dissolved into aqueous solutions, which cannot act as a potassium-ion (K+) storage host. Here, an effective dynamic regulating strategy (chemical components and structures) is developed to overcome the high solubility of La-containing PBA in aqueous electrolytes and achieve high structural stability and superior aqueous K+ storage. For chemical component regulation, Fe3+ ions in the electrolyte fill the La3+ vacancies on the surface and the modified surface hinders the La atoms from further dissolving, and the remaining La atoms in bulk phase improve electron/ion transfer ability and amount of K+ storage. For the structure regulation, the material is transferred from the hexagon to the cubic lattice during charging-discharging procedures, achieving a highly thermodynamically optimal structure. The cathode presents ultrahigh capacities of 171, 155, 132, and 116 at current densities of 1, 2, 3, and 4 A g-1 respectively, and the capacity remains almost constant after 1000 cycles. The mechanism is revealed by experiments and density functional theory (DFT).
