Abstract
Sustainable energy storage system requires high-performance rechargeable batteries with earth-abundant elements and cost-effective electrodes. Prussian blue (PB) and its analogs (PBAs) are a large family of materials with open frameworks. Benefiting from nanoarchitectonics, the PBAs are receiving great attention as cathodic materials for various rechargeable batteries. In this review, we present a general summary and evaluation on the recent advances of PBAs for the rechargeable batteries applications. The general synthetic methods and the chemical properties of PBAs have also been discussed. This review aims to provide a brief outlook on the current and future research strategies of PBAs in the electrochemical energy storage.
