Prussian blue analogues (PBA) are attractive positive electrode for sodium ion batteries due to their large interstitial sites and three-dimensional porous framework. However, they often suffer from irreversible phase transition upon charging and discharging, leading to fast capacity decay. In consideration that redox couples of Co2+/Co3+, Ni2+/Ni3+ and Fe2+/Fe3+ guarantee high capacity (~150 mA h g−1), and Cu serves as a pillar to hold the PBA framework, here we synthesized a series of Cu, Co and Ni co-doped PBA, displaying high capacity and stable cycling performance with >98% capacity retention after 50 cycles.
