Abstract
Bismuth-based materials have attracted interest in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). However, the large volume expansion prevents further use of bismuth-based materials for potassium storage. This work employs a two-step synthesis method to innovatively synthesize of Bi/Bi2O3 nanoparticles assembled on N-doped porous carbon sheets (Bi/Bi2O3@CN). The layered structures with uniformly shaped and N-doped porous carbon skeleton buffer the expansion of Bi and the Bi/Bi2O3 particles increase the capacity of potassium storage. In brief, the Bi/Bi2O3@CN served as anode in half-cell of PIBs have a good rate capacity of more than 234.7 mAh/g at 20 A/g. The specific capacity retention was 73 % compared with 322.16 mAh/g at 1 A/g, demonstrating good holding capacity for diverse current densities. The cycle also displays 163 mAh/g after 1500 cycles at 2 A/g in the KPF6 metal salt solution, showing its potential as one of the anode materials in PIBs.

Abstract
Mechanically compliant conductors are of utmost importance for the emerging fields of soft electronics and robotics. However, the development of intrinsically deformable organic conductors remains a challenge due to the trade-off between mechanical performance and charge mobility. In this study, we report a solution to this issue based on size-selective ionic crosslinking. This rationally designed crosslinking mediated by length-regulated oligo(ethylene glycol) pendant groups and metal ions simultaneously improved the softness and toughness and ensured excellent mixed ionic-electronic conductivity in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate composite materials. Moreover, the added ions remarkably promoted accumulation of charge carriers in response to temperature gradient, thus offering a viable approach to stretchable thermoelectric generators with enhanced stability against humidity.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising energy storage devices owing to their low cost, environmental-friendly, and excellent K+ diffusion properties as a consequence of the small Stoke's radius. The evaluation of cathode materials for KIBs, which are perhaps the most favorable substitutes to lithium-ion batteries, is of exceptional importance. Manganese dioxide (α-MnO2) is distinguished by its tunnel structures and plenty of electroactive sites, which can host cations without causing fundamental structural breakdown. As a result of the satisfactory redox kinetics and diffusion pathways of K+ in the structure, α-MnO2 nanorods cathode prepared through hydrothermal method, reversibly stores K+ at a fast rate with a high capacity and stability. It has a first discharge capacity of 142 mAh/g at C/20, excellent rate execution up to 5C, and a long cycling performance with a demonstration of moderate capacity retention up to 100 cycles. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) simulations confirm that the K+ intercalation/deintercalation occurs through 0.46 K movement between MnIV/MnIII redox pairs. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict a diffusion barrier of 0.31 eV for K+ through the 1D tunnel of α-MnO2 electrode, which is low enough to promote faster electrochemical kinetics. The nanorod structure of α-MnO2 facilitates electron conductive connection and provides a strong electrode-electrolyte interface for the cathode, resulting in a very consistent and prevalent execution cathode material for KIBs.

Abstract
In recent years, carbon-based flexible anodes for potassium-ion batteries are increasingly investigated owing to the low reduction potential and abundant reserve of K and the simple preparation process of flexible electrodes. In this review, three main problems on pristine carbon-based flexible anodes are summarized: excessive volume change, repeated SEI growth, and low affinity with K+, which thus leads to severe capacity fade, sluggish K+ diffusion dynamics, and limited active sites. In this regard, the recent progress on the various modification strategies is introduced in detail, which are categorized as heteroatom-doping, coupling with metal and chalcogenide nanoparticles, and coupling with other carbonaceous materials. It is found that the doping of heteroatoms can bring the five enhancement effects of increasing active sites, improving electrical conductivity, expediting K+ diffusion, strengthening structural stability, and enlarging interlayer spacing. The coupling of metal and chalcogenide nanoparticles can largely offset the weakness of the scarcity of K+ storage sites and the poor wettability of pristine carbon-based flexible electrodes. The alloy nanoparticles consisting of the electrochemically active and inactive metals can concurrently gain a stable structure and high capacity in comparison to mono-metal nanoparticles. The coupling of the carbonaceous materials with different characteristics can coordinate the advantages of the nanostructure from graphite carbon, the defects and vacancies from amorphous carbon, and the independent structure from support carbon. Finally, the emerging challenges and opportunities for the development of carbon-based flexible anodes are presented.

Abstract
As a class of flexible and designable materials, organic electrode materials would greatly facilitate the progress of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), especially when the dissolution issue is ameliorated. Ionic liquid electrolytes (ILEs) do not merely alleviate the dissolution of organic materials but provide reliable security. Herein, Pillar[5]quinone (P5Q) as the cathode of PIBs is demonstrated for the first time, and the electrochemical performance of two common ILEs is investigated. In the 0.3 M KFSI-PY13FSI electrolyte with better conductivity, the P5Q cathode maintains a large reversible capacity of 232 mAh g-1 (450 Wh kg-1) after 100 cycles at 0.2C at 1.2-4.0 V. When a current density of 2.0C is applied, the cell retains a capacity of 101 mAh g-1 (211 Wh kg-1) after 1000 cycles and 61 mAh g-1 (125 Wh kg-1) even over 5000 cycles. This research would inspire research on organic electrodes and advance the application of PIBs.

Abstract
Potassium-ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) tactfully combining capacitor-type cathode with battery-type anode have recently attracted increasing attentions due to their advantages of decent energy density, high power density, and low cost; the mismatches of capacity and kinetics between capacitor-type cathode and battery-type anode in PIHCs yet hinder their overall performance output. Herein, based on prediction of density functional theory calculations, we find Se/N co-doped porous carbon is a promising candidate for K+ storage and thus develop a simple and universal self-sacrifice template method to fabricate Se and N co-doped three-dimensional (3D) macroporous carbon (Se/N-3DMpC), which features favorable properties of connective hierarchical pores, expanded interlayer structure, and rich activity site for boosting pseudocapacitive activity and kinetics toward K+ storage anode and enhancing capacitance performance for the reversible anion adsorption/desorption cathode. As expected, the as-assembled PIHCs full cell with a working voltage as high as 4.0 V delivers a high energy density of 186 Wh kg-1 and a power output of 8100 W kg-1 as well as excellent long service life. The proof-of-concept PIHCs with excellent performance open a new avenue for the development and application of high-performance hybrid capacitors.
