Decoupling Roles of Cationic Dimensionality and Valence‐Electron Compatibility on Structural Resilience and Kinetics in High‐Entropy Prussian Blue Cathodes for Sodium‐Ion Storage
High-entropy Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have considered as high-performance cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the impact of high-entropy component compatibility on electrodes' lattice stress and kinetics remains underexplored. Herein, a series of high-entropy PBAs are served as cathode materials for SIBs. The tailoring Na<sub>2</sub>Mn<sub>0.2</sub>Fe<sub>0.2</sub>Co<sub>0.2</sub>Ni<sub>0.2</sub>Cu<sub>0.2</sub>[Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub>] (HE-Cu) with superior mechanochemical compatibility shows superior phase stability without obvious lattice stress and faster electron/ion transfer kinetics. Intrinsic and accumulated lattice stresses can be obtained by ion-incompatible Sn-based high-entropy PBA (HE-Sn) and valence-electron mismatched Ti-based high-entropy PBA (HE-Ti), thereby exhibiting poor structure stability and dynamics. Serious Jahn-Teller structural distortion and unstable octahedron, observed in Na<sub>2</sub>Mn[Fe(CN)<sub>6</sub>] with complicated Na-ion storage phase evolution (monoclinic ↔ cubic ↔ tetragonal), can be entirely suppressed by high-entropy effect, appearing a zero-strain solid-solution reaction mechanism for HE-Cu employing Mn, Fe, and Co-ions as redox centers to involve in charge compensation. Consequently, HE-Cu presents high initial specific capacity of 120.4 mAh·g<sup>-1</sup>, superior rate capability and outstanding cyclability with ultra-long cycling life of 9000 cycles with the lowest capacity-decay-rate of 0.0042% per cycle. Na-ion full cell demonstrates high initial energy density of 397.0 Wh·kg<sup>-1</sup> and perfect cycling stability with long lifespan over 2000 cycles.
