The reaction of cyanoferrate ions (yellow solution) with cobalt ions (pink solution) affords CoFe Prussian blue assemblies with cubic structures. As soon as the liquids are mixed (and this can be done even in a simple glassware), the solution turns orange‐brown, and precipitation occurs. Such assemblies have been acknowledged as efficient, robust, and precious‐metal free heterogeneous water oxidation catalysts. The Minireview by F. Karadas and co‐workers on page 3638 highlights the common strategies to design and prepare cyanide‐based electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, and photoelectrochemical assemblies and explores the role of structural units in cobalt‐based Prussian blue analogues for the establishment of structure–catalytic‐activity relationship.
