Proposed are Prussian blue analogue hosts with ordered and continuous channels, and electrocatalytic functionality with open Co and Fe species, which facilitate maximum I2 utilization efficiency and direct I2 to I- conversion kinetics of the I2 reduction reaction, and free up 1/3 I- from I3 - . CoCo1/4 Fe3/4 (CN)6 exhibits a low energy barrier (0.47 kJ mol-1 ) and low Tafel slope (76.74 mV dec-1 ). Accordingly, the CoCo1/4 Fe3/4 (CN)6 /I2 //Zn battery delivers a capacity of 236.8 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and a rate performance with 151.4 mAh g-1 achieved even at 20 A g-1 . The battery delivers both high energy density and high-power density of 305.5 Wh kg-1 and 109.1 kW kg-1 , higher than I2 //Zn batteries reported to date. Furthermore, solid-state flexible batteries were constructed. A 100 mAh high capacity solid-state I2 //Zn battery is demonstrated with excellent cycling performance of 81.2 % capacity retained after 400 cycles.
