In　the　present　work,　Prussian　blue　analogues,　Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.6667·nH2O　(Mn-PBA),　were　synthesized　by　a　simple　synthetic　route　and　characterized　by　XRD,　SEM,　TEM,　FTIR　and　TGA.　When　this　material　was　firstly　used　as　an　anode　for　lithium-ion　batteries,　it　exhibited　a　large　capacity,　good　rate　capability　and　cycling　stability　with　a　high　Coulombic　efficiency.　For　instance,　a　reversible　capacity　of　295.7　mA　h　g-1　can　be　achieved　after　100　cycles　at　200　mA　g-1.　©　The　Royal　Society　of　Chemistry　2015.
