The thermal coefficient (α=dV/dT) of redox potential (V) enables an efficient thermal power generation using waste heat. Actually, a battery‐type thermocell, which consists of two kinds of redoxable solids with differentαas anode and cathode, is demonstrated to produce electric energy in thermal cycles. To fabricate high performance device,αis systematically investigated in three kinds of Prussian blue analogues (PBAs), NaxCo[Fe(CN)6]0.71(abbreviated as NCF71), NaxCo[Fe(CN)6]0.90(NCF90) and NaxMn[Fe(CN)6]0.83(NMF83), against the Na+concentration (x). NCF90 shows the highest positiveα(=1.4 mV K−1) in the lower‐lying plateau while NMF83 shows the highest negativeα(=−0.4 mV K−1) in the lower‐lying plateau. In addition, the NCF90/NMF83 thermocell produces 5.5 meV/NCF90 in the initial cycle betweenTL(=286 K) andTH(=313 K). The thermal efficiency (η=2.3 %) reaches 27 % of the Carnot efficiency (ηcarnot=8.7 %). Thus, PBAs are promising materials for thermal power generation.
