  text: Prussian blue (PB) and Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are a class of porous
    materials composed of transition metal cations, cyanide ligands, and alkali metal
    cations. Their ability to intercalate and deintercalate ions within their framework
    pores, coupled with the adaptability of their crystal structure to electrochemical
    changes, underpins their success in battery applications. PBAs with Fe or Co as
    the active site exhibit high redox potentials (vs SHE) and have been extensively
    explored as cathode materials, with well-documented chemistry, crystal structures,
    and electrochemical properties. In contrast, PBAs with Cr or Mn as the active
    site display lower redox potentials and remain significantly underexplored as
    anode materials. This gap has led to fewer reported compounds and a less comprehensive
    understanding of their structural and electrochemical behavior, leaving the field
    relatively opaque. In this perspective, we comprehensively analyze the challenges
    involved in producing and employing PBAs with low redox potentials as active battery
    materials. Conversely, we propose numerous horizons and ask fundamental questions
    that should pave the way for future research to advance the field.

  text: The determination of the intrinsic properties of solid active material candidates
    is essential for their performance optimization. However, macroscopic electrodes
    and related analytical techniques show challenges concerning the number of additional
    influencing parameters. We explore recessed microelectrodes (rME) as a platform
    that allows for a binder-free investigation of Prussian Blue analogues (PBA),
    a family of promising battery materials. The enhanced diffusion using microelectrochemical
    tools is indispensable to assess the intrinsic material performance, overcoming
    the limitation of cation diffusion from the electrolyte to the solid interface
    during (dis)charging cycles and allowing the investigation of limiting steps in
    the coupled ion-electron transfer process. The intrinsic electrochemical performance
    of PBAs was studied in a three-electrode configuration by means of cyclic voltammetry
    and galvanostatic (dis)charging in aqueous Na+-containing electrolyte. We extended
    the evaluation to the role of the electrolyte on the performance of cathodic and
    anodic processes of a Mn-based PBA. Ex-situ and operando chemical characterization
    were coupled to support the microelectrochemical results.
