The use of a viral template has allowed the synthesis of monodisperse Prussian blue nanoparticles with a diameter of 18 +/- 1.7 nm and their organization into hexagonal patterns on mica and hydrophilic carbon surfaces.

Prussian blue nanoparticles were explored for the first time as an excellent contrast agent for enhancing photoacoustic tomography in vitro and in vivo due to their superior absorption efficiency of near-infrared laser pulses at a wavelength of 765 nm.

The hexacyanoosmate(III) anion was used to prepare a pentanuclear cyanide bridged molecular cluster with ligand-protected Ni(II) ions as well as the corresponding Prussian blue phase from a reaction with aqueous Ni(II) ions.

The major advantage of Mg batteries relies on their promise of employing an Mg metal negative electrode, which offers much higher energy density compared to graphitic carbon. However, the strong coulombic interaction of Mg2+ ions with anions leads to their sluggish diffusion in the solid state, which along with a high desolvation energy, hinders the development of positive electrode materials. ...

Mixed-valence polycyanides (Prussian Blue analogues) possess a rich palette of properties spanning from room-temperature ferromagnetism to zero thermal expansion, which can be tuned by chemical modifications or the application of external stimuli (temperature, pressure, light irradiation). While molecule-based materials can combine physical and chemical properties associated with molecular-scal...

for art history issues. The task is complex however because of the highly heterogeneous character of a paint layer, which consists of a mixture of pigments and a binder on a support. All the components interact and infl uence the ageing process of the paint layer. The work described here is focused on understanding the discoloration over time of a particular pigment, Prussian blue, a synthetic ...

We report here a way for improving the stability of ultramicroelectrodes (UME) based on hexacyanoferrate-modified metals for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. The most stable sensors were obtained by electrochemical deposition of six layers of hexacyanoferrates (HCF), more specifically, an alternating pattern of three layers of Prussian Blue and three layers of Ni-HCF. The microelectrodes mod...

A CoFe Prussian blue analogue is coupled with brown TiO2 nanoparticles to achieve an earth-abundant photocatalytic water oxidation assembly.
