Prussian blue analogues have attracted growing attention as the positive electrode materials in rechargeable potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) due to the intrinsic open frameworks and high theoretical capacities. However, the bulk synthesized Prussian blue which is accompanied by aggregation inevitably results in the limited K+ ion mobility and suppressed potassium storage performance. In this work, ultrathin nanosheet-assembled hierarchical Prussian blue materials (K1.4Fe4[Fe(CN)(6)](3)) are synthesized via a facile dissolution-recrystallization strategy. On the strength of this architecture, the positive electrode displays both high rate (71 and 24.9 mAh g(-1) at 50 and 600 mA g(-1)) and long life-span properties (75.2% of the primal capacity retained after 100 cycles) for potassium storage. The enhanced diffusion kinetics and structural stability are further demonstrated through the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique analysis and ex-situ X-ray diffraction. Our work provides a new nanostructuring strategy for improving the potassium storage in intercalation electrodes.
