Dual Redox Reactions of Silver Hexacyanoferrate Prussian Blue Analogue Enable Superior Electrochemical Performance for Zinc‐ion Storage**
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been employed as host materials of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), however, they suffer from low capacity and poor cycling stability due to limited electron transfer and the presence of interstitial water in PBAs. Herein, a vacancy and water-free silver hexacyanoferrate K<sub>0.95</sub>Ag<sub>3.05</sub>Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub> (AgHCF-3) was synthesized by adjusting the ratio of K and Ag in the framework. It offers nearly four electrons involving two sequential redox reactions, namely, Fe<sup>3+</sup>/Fe<sup>2+</sup> and Ag<sup>+</sup>/Ag<sup>0</sup>, to deliver a large capacity of 179.6 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at 20 mA g<sup>-1</sup> with Coulomb efficiency of ~100 %. The Zn//AgHCF-3 cell delivers an estimated energy density of 200 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup>, surpassing reported PBAs-based ZIBs. The formation of Ag<sup>0</sup> in the cycling process merits favorable rate performance of AgHCF-3 (156.4 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at 200 mA g<sup>-1</sup> with 80.3 % capacity retention after 100 cycles). This investigation paves new pathways for high-capacity PBA cathodes.
