Abstract
Solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) crucially affects the rate performance and cycling lifespan, yet to date more extensive research is still needed in potassium-ion batteries. We report an ultra-thin and KF-enriched SEI triggered by tuned fluorinated surface design in electrode. Our results reveal that fluorination engineering alters the interfacial chemical environment to facilitate inherited electronic conductivity, enhance adsorption ability of potassium, induce localized surface polarization to guide electrolyte decomposition behavior for SEI formation, and especially, enrich the KF crystals in SEI by self-sacrifice from C-F bond cleavage. Hence, the regulated fluorinated electrode with generated ultra-thin, uniform, and KF-enriched SEI shows improved capacity of 439.3 mAh g-1 (3.82 mAh cm-2), boosted rate performance (202.3 mAh g-1 at 8.70 mA cm-2) and durable cycling performance (even under high loading of ~8.7 mg cm-2). We expect this practical engineering principle to open up new opportunities for upgrading the development of potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The heterostructure of transition-metal chalcogenides is a promising approach to boost alkali ion storage due to fast charge kinetics and reduction of activation energy. However, cycling performance is a paramount challenge that is suffering from poor reversibility. Herein, it is reported that Se-rich particles can chemically interact with local hexagonal ZnSe/MnSe@C heterostructure environment, leading to effective ions insertion/extraction, enabling high reversibility. Enlightened by theoretical understanding, Se-rich particles endow high intrinsic conductivities in term of low energy barriers (1.32 eV) compared with those without Se-rich particles (1.50 eV) toward the sodiation process. Moreover, p orbitals of Se-rich particles may actively participate and further increase the electronegativity that pushes the Mn d orbitals (dxy and dx2-y2) and donate their electrons to dxz and dyz orbitals, manifesting strong d-d orbitals interaction between ZnSe and MnSe. Such fundamental interaction will adopt a well-stable conducive electronic bridge, eventually, charges are easily transferred from ZnSe to MnSe in the heterostructure during sodiation/desodiation. Therefore, the optimized Se-rich ZnSe/MnSe@C electrode delivered high capacity of 576 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles and 384 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 2500 cycles, respectively. In situ and ex situ measurements further indicate the integrity and reversibility of the electrode materials upon charging/discharging.

Abstract
For large-size potassium accommodation, heterostructure usually suffers severe delamination and exfoliation at the interfaces due to different volume expansion of two-phase during charge/discharge process, resulting in the deconstruction of heterostructures and shortened lifespan of batteries. Here, an innovative strategy is proposed through constructing a microscopic heterostructure system containing copper quantum dots (Cu QDs) highly dispersed in the triphenyl-substituted triazine graphdiyne (TPTG) substrates (TPTG@CuQDs) to solve this problem. The copper quantum dots are uniformly anchored on TPTG substrates, generating a myriad of island-like heterogeneous structures, together with tandem toroidal built-in electric field (BIEF) between every micro heterointerface. The island-like heterostructure endows both benefits of exposed contact interface and robust architecture. Generated tandem toroidal BIEF provides efficient transport pathways with lower energy barriers, reducing the diffusion resistance and facilitating the reaction kinetics of potassium ions. When used as anode, the TPTG@CuQDs exhibit highly reversible capacity and low-capacity degradation (≈0.01% over 5560 cycles at 1 A g-1). Moreover, the TPTG@CuQDs-based full cell delivers an outstanding reversible capacity of ≈110 mAh g-1 over 800 cycles at 1 A g-1. This quantum-scale heterointerface construction strategy offers a new approach toward stable heterostructure design for the application of metal ion batteries.

Abstract
Organics are gaining significance as electrode materials due to their merits of multi-electron reaction sites, flexible rearrangeable structures and redox reversibility. However, organics encounter finite electronic conductivity and inferior durability especially in organic electrolytes. To circumvent above barriers, we propose a novel design strategy, constructing conductive network structures with extended π-π superposition effect by manipulating intermolecular interaction. Tetralithium 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylate (LNTC) interwoven by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) forms LNTC@CNTs composite firstly for Li-ion storage, where multiple conjugated carboxyls contribute sufficient Li-ion storage sites, the unique network feature enables electrolyte and charge mobility conveniently combining electron delocalization in π-conjugated system, and the enhanced π-π superposition effect between LNTC and CNTs endows laudable structural robustness. Accordingly, LNTC@CNTs maintain an excellent Li-ion storage capacity retention of 96.4 % after 400 cycles. Electrochemical experiments and theoretical simulations elucidate the fast reaction kinetics and reversible Li-ion storage stability owing to the electron delocalization and π-π superposition effect, while conjugated carboxyls are reversibly rearranged into enolates during charging/discharging. Consequently, a dual-ion battery combining this composite anode and expanded graphite cathode exhibits a peak specific capacity of 122 mAh g-1 and long cycling life with a capacity retention of 84.2 % after 900 cycles.

Abstract
The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supported amorphous Sb doped substoichiometric tin dulfide (Sb─SnSx ) with a carbon coating (the C/Sb─SnSx @CNTs-500) is reported to be an efficient anode material for K+ storage. The formation of the C/Sb─SnSx @CNTs-500 is simply achieved through the thermally induced desulfurization of tin sulfide via a controlled annealing of the C/Sb─SnS2 @CNTs at 500 °C. When used for the K+ storage, it can deliver stable reversible capacities of 406.5, 305.7, and 238.4 mAh g-1 at 0.1, 1.0, and 2.0 A g-1 , respectively, and shows no capacity drops when potassiated/depotassiated at 1.0 and 2.0 A g-1 for >3000 and 2400 cycles, respectively. Even at 10, 20, and 30 A g-1 , it can still deliver stable reversible capacities of 138.5, 85.1, and 73.8 mAh g-1 , respectively. The unique structure, which combines the advantageous features of carbon integration/coating, metal doping, and desulfurization-induced amorphous structure, is the main origin of the high performance of the C/Sb─SnSx @CNTs-500. Specifically, the carbon integration/coating can increase the electric conductivity and stability of the C/Sb─SnSx @CNTs-500. The density function theory calculation indicates that the Sb doping and the desulfurization can facilitate the potassiation and increase the electric conductivity of Sb─SnSx . Additionally, the desulfurization can increase the K+ diffusivity in Sb─SnSx .

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) as a promising and low-cost battery technology offer the advantage of utilizing abundant and cost-effective K-salt sources. However, the effective adoption of PIBs necessitates the identification of suitable electrode materials. The 1T phase of MoS2 exhibits enhanced electronic conductivity and greater interlayer spacing compared to the 2H phase, leading to a capable potassium ion storage ability. Herein, we fabricated dual carbon engineered 1T/2H MoS2via a secure and straightforward ammonia-assisted hydrothermal method. The 1T/2H MoS2@rGO@C structure demonstrated an expanded interlayer spacing (9.3 Å). Additionally, the sandwich-like structural design not only enhanced material conductivity but also effectively curbed the agglomeration of nanosheets. Remarkably, 1T/2H MoS2@rGO@C exhibited impressive potassium storage ability, delivering capacities of 351.0 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and 233.8 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1 following 100 and 1000 cycles, respectively. Moreover, the construction of a K-ion full cell was successfully achieved, utilizing perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) as the cathode, and manifesting a capacity of 294.3 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 160 cycles. This underscores the substantial potential of employing the 1T/2H MoS2@rGO@C electrode material for PIBs.

Abstract
Pitch-derived carbon (PC) anode features the merits of low-cost, rich edge-defect sites, and tunable crystallization degree for potassium ion batteries (PIBs). However, gaining the PC anode with both rich edge-defect sites and robust structure remains challenging. Herein, micro-sized and robust PC/expanded-graphite (EG) composites (EGC) with rich edge-defect sites are massively synthesized via melting impregnation and confined pyrolysis. The PC is in situ encapsulated in micro-sized EG skeleton with robust chemical bonds between PC and EG after thermal treatment, endowing the structural stability as micro-sized carbon-carbon composites. The confinement effect originating from EG skeleton could suppress the crystallization degree of the PC and contribute rich edge-defect sites in EGC composites. Additionally, the EG skeleton inside EGC could form continuous electronic conduction nets and establish low-tortuosity carbonaceous electrodes, facilitating rapid electron/ion migration. While applied in PIBs, the EGC anode delivers a reversible capacity that up to 338.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 , superior rate performance of 127.5 mAh g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 , and long-term stability with 204.8 mAh g-1 retain after 700 cycles at 1.0 A g-1 . This novel strategy highlights an interesting category of heterogeneous carbon-carbon composite materials to keep pace with the demand for the future PIBs industry.

Abstract
Conversion-type electrodes offer a promising multielectron transfer alternative to intercalation hosts with potentially high-capacity release in batteries. However, the poor cycle stability severely hinders their application, especially in aqueous multivalence-ion systems, which can fundamentally impute to anisotropic ion diffusion channel collapse in pristine crystals and irreversible bond fracture during repeated conversion. Here, an amorphous bismuth sulfide (a-BS) formed in situ with unprecedentedly self-controlled moderate conversion Cu2+ storage is proposed to comprehensively regulate the isotropic ion diffusion channels and highly reversible bond evolution. Operando synchrotron X-ray diffraction and substantive verification tests reveal that the total destruction of the Bi─S bond and unsustainable deep alloying are fully restrained. The amorphous structure with robust ion diffusion channels, unique self-controlled moderate conversion, and high electrical conductivity discharge products synergistically boosts the capacity (326.7 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 ), rate performance (194.5 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 ), and long-lifespan stability (over 8000 cycles with a decay rate of only 0.02 ‰ per cycle). Moreover, the a-BS Cu2+ ‖Zn2+ hybrid ion battery can well supply a stable energy density of 238.6 Wh kg-1 at 9760 W kg-1 . The intrinsically high-stability conversion mechanism explored on amorphous electrodes provides a new opportunity for advanced aqueous storage.

Abstract
Herein, heterogeneous bimetallic sulfides Bi2S3/Mo7S8 nanoparticles anchored on MXene (Ti3C2Tx) nanosheets (MXene@Bi2S3/Mo7S8) were prepared through a solvothermal process and subsequent chemical vapor deposition process. Benefiting from the heterogeneous structure between Bi2S3 and Mo7S8 and the high conductivity of the Ti3C2Tx nanosheets, the Na+ diffusion barrier and charge transfer resistance of this electrode are effectively decreased. Simultaneously, the hierarchical architectures of Bi2S3/Mo7S8 and Ti3C2Tx not only effectively inhibit the re-stacking of MXene and the agglomeration of bimetallic sulfides nanoparticles, but also dramatically relieve the volume expansion during the periodic charge/discharge processes. As a result, the MXene@Bi2S3/Mo7S8 heterostructure demonstrated remarkable rate capability (474.9 mAh/g at 5.0 A/g) and outstanding cycling stability (427.3 mAh/g after 1400 cycles at 1.0 A/g) for sodium ion battery. The Na+ storage mechanism and the multiple-step phase transition in the heterostructures are further clarified by the ex-situ XRD and XPS characterizations. This study paves a new way to design and exploit conversion/alloying type anodes of sodium ion batteries with hierarchical heterogeneous architecture and high-performance electrochemical properties.

Built-In Electric Field-Driven Ultrahigh-Rate K-Ion Storage via Heterostructure Engineering of Dual Tellurides Integrated with Ti 3C 2T x MXene. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2023; 15:225. [PMID: 37831299 PMCID: PMC10575839 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-023-01202-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
Exploiting high-rate anode materials with fast K+ diffusion is intriguing for the development of advanced potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) but remains unrealized. Here, heterostructure engineering is proposed to construct the dual transition metal tellurides (CoTe2/ZnTe), which are anchored onto two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. Various theoretical modeling and experimental findings reveal that heterostructure engineering can regulate the electronic structures of CoTe2/ZnTe interfaces, improving K+ diffusion and adsorption. In addition, the different work functions between CoTe2/ZnTe induce a robust built-in electric field at the CoTe2/ZnTe interface, providing a strong driving force to facilitate charge transport. Moreover, the conductive and elastic Ti3C2Tx can effectively promote electrode conductivity and alleviate the volume change of CoTe2/ZnTe heterostructures upon cycling. Owing to these merits, the resulting CoTe2/ZnTe/Ti3C2Tx (CZT) exhibit excellent rate capability (137.0 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1) and cycling stability (175.3 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles at 3.0 A g-1, with a high capacity retention of 89.4%). More impressively, the CZT-based full cells demonstrate high energy density (220.2 Wh kg-1) and power density (837.2 W kg-1). This work provides a general and effective strategy by integrating heterostructure engineering and 2D material nanocompositing for designing advanced high-rate anode materials for next-generation KIBs.

Abstract
Currently, the main obstacle to the widespread utilization of metal chalcogenides (MSx ) as anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) is their poor rate capability and inferior cycling stability as a result of the undesirable electrical conductivity and severe pulverization of the nanostructure during large K-ions intercalation-extraction processes. Herein, an ultrafast and long-life potassium storage of metal chalcogenide is rationally demonstrated by employing Fe0.4 Ni0.6 S solid-solution (FNS/C) through molecular structure engineering. Benefiting from improved electroactivity and intense interactions within the unique solid solution phase, the electrical conductivity and structure durability of Fe0.4 Ni0.6 S are vastly improved. As anticipated, the FNS/C electrode delivers superior rate properties (538.7 and 210.5 mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 10 A g-1 , respectively) and long-term cycle stability (180.8 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 2000 cycles with a capacity decay of 0.011% per cycle). Moreover, the potassium storage mechanisms of Fe0.4 Ni0.6 S solid solution are comprehensively revealed by several in situ characterizations and theoretical calculations. This innovative molecular structure engineering strategy opens avenues to achieve high-quality metal chalcogenides for future advanced PIBs.

Abstract
High degrees of freedom (DOF) for K+ movement in the electrolytes is desirable, because the resulting high ionic conductivity helps improve potassium-ion batteries, yet requiring support from highly free and flammable organic solvent molecules, seriously affecting battery safety. Here, we develop a K+ flux rectifier to trim K ion's DOF to 1 and improve electrochemical properties. Although the ionic conductivity is compromised in the K+ flux rectifier, the overall electrochemical performance of PIBs was improved. An oxidation stability improvement from 4.0 to 5.9 V was realized, and the formation of dendrites and the dissolution of organic cathodes were inhibited. Consequently, the K||K cells continuously cycled over 3,700 h; K||Cu cells operated stably over 800 cycles with the Coulombic efficiency exceeding 99%; and K||graphite cells exhibited high-capacity retention over 74.7% after 1,500 cycles. Moreover, the 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide organic cathodes operated for more than 2,100 cycles and reached year-scale-cycling time. We fabricated a 2.18 Ah pouch cell with no significant capacity fading observed after 100 cycles.

Abstract
Bismuth selenide holds great promise as a kind of conversion-alloying-type anode material for alkali metal ion storage because of its layered structure with large interlayer spacing and high theoretical specific capacity. Nonetheless, its commercial development has been significantly hammered by the poor kinetics, severe pulverization, and polyselenide shuttle during the charge/discharge process. Herein, Sb-substitution and carbon encapsulation strategies are simultaneously employed to synthesize SbxBi2-xSe3 nanoparticles decorated on Ti3C2Tx MXene with encapsulation of N-doped carbon (SbxBi2-xSe3/MX⊂NC) as anodes for alkali metal ion storage. The superb electrochemical performances could be assigned to the cationic displacement of Sb3+ that effectively inhibits the shuttling effect of soluble polyselenides and the confinement engineering that alleviates the volume change during the sodiation/desodiation process. When used as anodes for sodium- and lithium-ion batteries, the Sb0.4Bi1.6Se3/MX⊂NC composite exhibits superior electrochemical performances. This work offers valuable guidance to suppress the shuttling of polyselenides/polysulfides in high-performance alkali metal ion batteries with conversion/alloying-type transition metal sulfide/selenide anode materials.

Abstract
Due to the advantages of dual-ion batteries (DIBs) and abundant resources, potassium-based dual-carbon batteries (K-DCBs) have wide application prospects. However, conventional carbonate ester-based electrolyte systems have obvious drawbacks such as poor oxidation resistance and difficulty in sustaining the anion intercalation process at high voltages, which seriously affect the capacity and cycle performance of K-DCBs. Therefore, a rational design of more efficient novel electrolyte systems is urgently required to realize high-performance K-DCBs. Herein, a solvation structure modulation strategy for the K-DCB electrolyte systems is reported. Consequently, substantial K+ ion storage improvement at the graphite anode and enhanced bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide anion (FSI- ) intercalation capacity at the graphite cathode are successfully realized simultaneously. As a proof-of-concept, the assembled K-DCB exhibited a discharge capacity of 103.4 mAh g-1 , and after 400 cycles, ≈90% capacity retention is observed. Moreover, the energy density of the K-DCB full cell reached 157.6 Wh kg-1 , which is the best performance in reported K-DCBs till date. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of solvation modulation in improving the performance of K-DCBs.
