Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted increasing attention as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The hydrated potassium Prussian blue, K0.220Fe[Fe(CN)6]0.805, as a potential cathode material is first demonstrated in PIBs. The cathode exhibits a large reversible capacity within a high and flat potassiation potential of 3.1~3.4 V as well as a great cyclability. Electrochemical reaction mechanism analysis identifies the carbon-coordinated FeIII/FeII couple as redox-active site and proves structural stability of the cathode during charging/discharging. Furthermore, we present a PIB full-cell by coupling the Prussian blue nanoparticles with commercial carbon materials, which confirms the value of practical applications.[1] Considering the low cost and material sustainability, this work is of great significance for the future research and commercial applications of PIBs electrode materials.
