The growing market for sodium-ion batteries has stimulated interest in research on Prussian blue-type cathode materials. Iron hexacyanoferrate (FeHCF) is considered a desirable Prussian blue-type cathode, but the incomplete electrochemical property of its low-spin iron sites hinders its further practical application. In this paper, carboxymethyl cellulose is demonstrated to have an appropriate binding energy through DFT calculations, synthesize Prussian blue in situ, balance Fe and water in FeHCF, and introduce Fe vacancies to activate low-spin Fe sites. Thus, at a 1 C rate, it achieves an initial discharge capacity of 154.7 mAh g with an energy density of 470.8 Wh kg. The capacity retention is 70.2% after 4000 cycles at a rate of 100 C. This work provides a simpler way to develop more cost-effective, faster, and more durable cathode materials for sodium-ion energy storage.

The asymmetric Schiff base prepared from ethylenediamine and pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde reacts with Fe(ClO)·6HO to form the Fe(II) complex [FeL](ClO) with L = ,-diethyl-'-(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)ethane-1,2-diamine, where the Fe(III) starting material has been unexpectedly reduced to Fe(II). This complex was characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction measurements, variable temperature DC magnetic measurement and room temperature Mössbauer spectroscopy. The asymmetric ligand L coordinates in a tridentate fashion through its pyridyl, azomethine and amino nitrogen atoms, generating a distorted octahedral geometry around the central metal ion.

Designing catalysts for the selective reduction of CO, resulting in products having commercial value, is an important area of contemporary research. Several molecular catalysts have been reported to facilitate the reduction of CO (both electrochemical and photochemical) to yield 2e/2H electron-reduced products, CO and HCOOH, and selective reduction of CO beyond 2e/2H is rare. This is partly because the factors that control the selectivity of CO reduction beyond 2e are not yet understood.

In this study, we present the first experimental determination of the spin state of transition metal complexes by using Hirshfeld Atom Refinement. For the demonstration, the two iron(II) complexes, (NH)Fe(SO) ⋅ 6 HO and lFe(pic)jCl ⋅ EtOH were investigated. The method involves the refinement using wavefunctions of different spin multiplicity and comparison against experimental diffraction data by means of refinement indicators and residual electron density.

Article Synopsis
- - The compound polycrystalline [FeL2][BF4]2 demonstrates a significant hysteretic spin transition around 240 K, with its behavior influenced by sample history, consisting of two related high-spin polymorphs (HS1 and HS2).
- - Upon cooling, both high-spin forms transition to low-spin phases (LS3 and LS4) at approximately 230 K, with LS3 coming from HS1 and LS4 from HS2, showing different crystal structures and transition temperatures.
- - Repeated cycling through the spin transition results in a gradual increase of HS1 and LS3 phases while depleting HS2 and LS4, indicating complex phase behavior and sample-dependent characteristics across related iron(II) and
