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.
