FeCo Prussian blue analogues, which are known as typical molecule-based magnets, exhibited abrupt conductance switching by applying a high electric field as well as by varying the temperature. The current density versus electric field (J-E) curves of FeCo Prussian blue with Rb cations in interstitial sites shows so-called negative resistance effects at electric fields higher than the threshold voltage. This means that the FeCo Prussian blue analogues are multiproperty materials in the sense that their conducting, magnetic, and optical properties can be reversibly controlled by certain external stimuli.

The need for efficient, economical, and clean energy systems is increasing, and as a result, interest in water-splitting techniques to produce green hydrogen is also increasing. However, the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hinders the practical application and widespread use of water-splitting technologies; therefore, to address this challenge, it is essential to develop cost-effective and efficient OER catalysts. In this work, we have synthesized an inexpensive and tunable FeCoMn Prussian blue analogue (PBAs) as an efficient OER catalyst via a straightforward process.

Article Synopsis
  • Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are gaining interest for their ability to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) in degrading organic pollutants, specifically methylene blue (MB).
  • A series of Fe-Co PBAs with varying iron/cobalt ratios were synthesized and demonstrated high performance in PDS activation and recyclable efficiency.
  • Density functional theory calculations indicated that the interaction between the catalysts and the compounds being degraded enhances catalytic activity by facilitating easier electron transfer and adsorption.

The etching effect has the capability to control atom doping and trigger phase transformation, thereby enhancing the electrocatalytic reaction. Herein, iron-doped cobalt selenide (Fe-CoSe) nanoparticle-decorated carbon nanofibers (Fe-CoSe/CNFs) are synthesized by assembling an FeCo-Prussian blue analogue (FeCo-PBA) cube precursor with polyacrylonitrile fibers and then treating with hydrochloric acid, followed by gas phase selenization. The Fe-CoSe/CNFs catalyst exhibits a large surface area and a porous structure, facilitating the permeation of electrolytes.

Light, a nondestructive and remotely controllable external stimulus, effectively triggers a variety of electron-transfer phenomena in metal complexes. One prime example includes using light in molecular cyanide-bridged [FeCo] bimetallic Prussian blue analogues, where it switches the system between the electron-transferred metastable state and the system's ground state. If this process is coupled to a ferroelectric-type phase transition, the generation and disappearance of macroscopic polarization, entirely under light control, become possible.

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) show considerable potential in next-generation high performance batteries, but the heavy shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics of polysulfide hinder their further applications. In this paper, to address these shortcomings of LSBs, CoFe/CoN heterostructure were prepared and constructed from their Fe-Co Prussian blue analogue precursors under the condition of high temperature pyrolysis. The obtained CoFe/CoN display excellent immobilization-diffusion-conversion performance for polysulfides by synergistic effect in successfully hindering the shuttle effect of polysulfides.
