Prussian Blue Analogues (PBAs) have been extensively studied for applications such as gas adsorption, catalysis, Na-ion batteries, etc. Additionally, these PBAs have been employed as single-source precursors in the thermal conversion from PBAs to heterometallic nanoalloys. Recent work in the Strouse group demonstrated that under specific thermal conditions, CoFe-PBAs exhibit a size-dependent conversion behavior. It has been speculated that the conversion follows a templated mechanism, in which the framework and size are motivating factors on the eventual composition and size. In this study, we intend to explore templated nanoparticle growth to the other PBA families, demonstrating a synthetic pathway to controlled mixed metal carbides and alloys for the purpose of materials design. These nanomaterials were characterized using pXRD, SEM, TEM, FT-IR.
