        abstract = {Prussian Blue (iron (III) hexacyanoferrate (II)) is a famous mixed-valence coordination compound with multi-functional properties. It has an open-framework cubic structure, a moderate band gap (~1.5-2.0 eV) and interesting redox activity. Due to its unique electronic, optical and ion-exchange properties, it can be used in energy storage, electrochromic devices, biosensors, catalysis, environmental remediation and biomedicine. Functionalisation of Prussian Blue into various nanostructures including nanoparticles, nanocubes, thin films and hierarchical frameworks bring about a significant enhancement of its electrochemical and catalytic performances. This review summarises the recent progress of Prussian Blue materials, synthesis methods and functional device applications. It highlights the key strategies such as defect engineering, composite formation, heterostructure design, and hybrid systems with conductive materials. Critical discussions are made on the challenges of structural vacancies, water content, low conductivity and long-term stability. Future work includes scalable synthesis, improved material design and the development of smart, multifunctional and sustainable Prussian Blue based technologies.},
