FeFe-based Prussian blue (NaFeHCF) is a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, how to effectively control the synthesis parameters to improve the cycling stability of NaFeHCF in sodiumion batteries remains to be addressed. In this work, NaFeHCF powders were prepared through the co-precipitation method, and the synergetic effects of a complexing agent (with or without sodium citrate) and reaction temperature (0-80 ℃) on the physical and electrochemical properties of NaFeHCF were investigated in detail. The results showed that NaFeHCF powders synthesized with the addition of a complexing agent and at a temperature slightly above room temperature (40 ℃) exhibited the most appropriate properties in terms of morphology, grain size, and crystallinity. Therefore, the SIB cathode using this material showed the highest cycling stability, being able to deliver a discharge capacity of 83.5 mAh·g^-1 after 1 500 cycles at the current density of 120 mA·g^-1 with capacity retention of 79.4%.
