Sodium manganese hexacyanoferrates (NMHFCs) synthesized in aqueous solution at room temperature show high reversible capacity and outstanding rate capability as cathodes for a rechargeable sodium‐ion battery (SIB). Earth‐abundant elements and a low‐cost synthesis route make these NMHFCs promising cathodes for SIBs, independent of natural lithium sources.
