We report the preparation of monocrystalline Prussian blue (PB) analogue hollow nanocubes by applying a controlled chemical etching method with assistance of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The hollow particles obtained possess the original single‐crystalline structures, with retention of the high surface areas. Our synthetic route based on chemical etching is quite simple, and it can be scaled up for mass production.
