We report a battery-powered, paper-based electrochromic array for visualized electrochemical sensing. The paper-based sensing system consists of six parallel electrochemical cells, which are powered by an aluminum-air battery. Each single electrochemical cell uses a Prussian Blue spot electrodeposited on an indium-doped tin oxide thin film as the electrochromic indicator. Each electrochemical c...

A Mössbauer spectroscopy system has been developed which is capable of taking multiple Mössbauer spectra, which are related in time. Its present design is for operation in conjunction with an in-situ electrochemical cell, such that up to 256 Mössbauer spectra can be taken in a dedicated PC. These spectra are uniformly distributed around a cyclic voltammetry looP, which is continually retraced u...

L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is attracting increasing attention due to its important functions. Diverse detection methods with their own properties have been developed for characterization of LAAO. In the present study, a simple, rapid, sensitive, cost-effective and reproducible method for quantitative in-gel determination of LAAO activity based on the visualization of Prussian blue-forming reac...

Thin films of ferric ferrocyanide (Prussian Blue) were electrochemically deposited on interdigitated array (IDA) electrodes yielding systems which can be considered as chemiresistors in sensing alkali ion concentrations in an adjacent electrolyte. From the dependence of the steady-state current on the electrode (bias) potential at variable cation concentrations for different alkali ions and for...

The transplantation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) provides a novel method for the treatment of human tumors or vascular diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proven to be effective in tracking transplanted stem cells by labeling the cells with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles. The SPIO has been used to label and track the EPCs; however, the effect of SPIO upon...

In this work, we observed a spin-crossover phenomenon in a cesium iron hexacyanochromate, which is a Prussian blue analogue. This compound showed a thermal phase transition with transition temperatures of 211 K (T1/2 downward arrow) and 238 K (T1/2 upward arrow) due to a spin-crossover on FeII sites. This spin-crossover phase transition is accompanied by a lattice contraction of 0.38 A, but mai...

This review focuses on recent advances in the post-synthetic modification of nano-sized Prussian blue and its analogues compares them with current strategies used metal–organic frameworks to give future outlooks this field.

Although several Prussian Blue analogues (PBAs) have been investigated as water oxidation catalysts, the field lacks a comprehensive study that focuses on the design of the ideal PBA for this purpose. Here, members of a series of PBAs with different cyanide precursors have been investigated to study the effect of hexacyanometal groups on their electrocatalytic water oxidation activities. Cyclic...

The magnetoresistance (MR) effect of thin films of the Prussian Blue Analogue (PBA) Cr5.5(CN)12·11.5H2O, prepared by electrochemical deposition, has been measured using the standard two-point probe method. This molecule-based ferrimagnetic material, with a Tc = 240 K, exhibits MR up to 2% at 6 T and 200 K.
