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 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 .

Recently, hybrid capacitive deionization (HCDI) has garnered significant attention for its potential in the selective extraction of cesium (Cs) from radioactive wastewater and salt lakes, which is crucial for resolving the supply-demand imbalance of cesium resources and eliminating radioactive contamination. However, developing HCDI electrodes capable of effectively separating and extracting Cs remains a significant challenge. In this work, we proposed an innovative strategy involving the doping of inactive metal ions to develop zinc-doped manganese hexacyanoferrate (ZMFC) as an HCDI cathode.

Sodium manganese hexacyanoferrate, also called Prussian white (PW), has attracted much attention as a promising cathode material for Na-ion batteries due to its high-voltage platform and inexpensive elemental composition. However, their parasitic vacancies and water molecules often deteriorate the electrochemical performance. Proper regulation of such defects in scale-up preparation is still a challenge.

Manganese Hexacyanoferrate (Mn─HCF) is a preferred cathode material for sodium-ion batteries used in large-scale energy storage. However, the inherent vacancies and the presence of HO within the imperfect crystal structure of Mn─HCF lead to material failure and interface failure when used as a cathode. Addressing the challenge of constructing a stable cathode is an urgent scientific problem that needs to be solved to enhance the performance and lifespan of these batteries.

Severe structural evolution and high content of [Fe(CN)] defects drastically deteriorate K-ion storage performances of Prussian blue-based cathodes. Herein, a potassium manganese iron copper hexacyanoferrate (KFeMnCuHCF), with suppressed anionic vacancies, eliminated band gap, and low K-ion diffusion barrier, is regarded as a cathode for potassium-ion batteries. The entropy stabilization effect and robust Cu-N bond induced by the inert Cu-ion with large electronegativity boost KFeMnCuHCF to exhibit great phase state stability, thus inhibiting the structural transition of monoclinic ↔ cubic.

Many rubidium manganese hexacyanoferrate materials, with the general formula Rb Mn[Fe(CN)]·HO, exhibit diverse charge-transfer-based functionalities due to the bistability between a high temperature Mn( = 5/2)Fe( = 1/2) cubic phase and a low-temperature Mn( = 2)Fe( = 0) tetragonal phase. The collective Jahn-Teller distortion on the Mn sites is responsible for the cubic-to-tetragonal ferroelastic phase transition, which is associated with the appearance of ferroelastic domains. In this study, we use X-ray diffraction to reveal the coexistence of 3 types of ferroelastic tetragonal domains and estimate the spatial extension of the strain around the domain walls, which represents about 30% of the volume of the crystal.
