Prussian blue analogs (PBAs), a type of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have attracted much attention because of their large specific surface area, high porosity, easy synthesis, and low cost. This paper presents the first review of PBAs by applying the bibliometric visualization software CiteSpace. The co-occurrence, co-citation, and clustering analysis of 2214 articles in the Web of Science database on the topic of "Prussian blue analogs" over the past 20 years were performed. The results provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the research hotspots for this material, and most importantly, it is identified that the research hotspots and trends for PBAs materials are concentrated in the environmental and energy fields. For example, the material is used as an adsorbent or catalyst to reduce pollutants, produce clean energy, or for energy storage applications such as batteries or supercapacitors. Finally, some outlooks are provided on the future research trends of this material in the environmental and energy fields, presenting the challenges faced by this material. For instance, the conductivity and corrosion resistance of the material needs to be improved and secondary contamination should be decreased or even avoided. It is believed that this paper would provide a comprehensive, systematic, and dynamic overview of the research of PBAs, and promote the future research of PBAs in the fields of environment and energy.
普鲁士蓝类似物 (PBAs) 作为一种金属有机骨架 (MOFs)，因其具有较大的比表面积、高孔隙率、易于合成和低成本而受到广泛关注。本文首次应用文献计量可视化软件 CiteSpace 对过去 20 年在“普鲁士蓝类似物”主题上的 2214 篇 Web of Science 数据库文章进行共现、共被引和聚类分析。结果全面概述了该材料研究热点的演变，最重要的是，确定了 PBAs 材料的研究热点和趋势集中在环境和能源领域。例如，该材料被用作吸附剂或催化剂来减少污染物、生产清洁能源，或用于电池或超级电容器等储能应用。最后，对该材料在环境和能源领域的未来研究趋势提供了一些展望，并提出了该材料所面临的挑战。例如，需要提高材料的导电性和耐腐蚀性，并降低甚至避免二次污染。相信本文将对 PBAs 的研究提供全面、系统和动态的概述，并促进 PBAs 在环境和能源领域的未来研究。
