This study proposes a cerium (Ce<sup>3+</sup>) doping strategy that significantly enhances the sodium storage performance of FeHCF through a dual mechanism of defect repair and electronic modulation. Experimental results demonstrate that Ce<sup>3+</sup> doping not only fills [Fe(CN) <sub>6</sub>] vacancies and repels crystalline water, thereby reactivating the shielded Fe<sup>LS</sup> active sites (increasing capacity contribution from 22.98 mAh g<sup>−1</sup> to 47.8 mAh g<sup>−1</sup>), but also elevates the Fermi-level density of states via 4f-3d orbital hybridization, endowing the material with quasi-metallic characteristics.
