K2Fe[Fe(CN)6] (Potassium Iron Hexacyanoferrate), the stoichiometric, potassium-rich form of Prussian Blue (PB), is a highly competitive cathode material for Potassium-Ion Batteries (KIBs/PIBs). Because potassium (K+) has a large ionic radius (1.38 Å compared to Li+'s 0.76 Å), standard dense interstitial host structures like layered oxides or olivines suffer from severe lattice strain and sluggish kinetics when cycling potassium. Prussian Blue solves this via its uniquely accommodating open-framework architecture.

K2Fe[Fe(CN)6] acts as a two-electron transfer cathode material, yielding highly favorable capacities and voltages: (1) ~3.0 V vs. K/K+: Associated with the oxidation/reduction of the High-Spin Fe^{2+}/ Fe}^{3+} sites (N-coordinated). (2) ~4.0 V vs. K/K+: Associated with the oxidation/reduction of the Low-Spin Fe^{2+}/ Fe^{3+} sites (C-coordinated). The combined redox action delivers an average discharge voltage profile between 3.3 V and 3.6 V, enabling highly competitive material-level energy densities (~500 Wh/kg).
