[PMID: 38745375 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202402214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanopowder is spin-coated onto both sides of commercial polypropene separator to create artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and artificial cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) in potassium metal batteries (KMBs). This significantly enhances the stability, including of KMBs with Prussian Blue (PB) cathodes. For example, symmetric cells are stable after 1,000 cycles at 0.5 mA/cm2-0.5 mAh/cm2 and 3.0 mA/cm2-0.5 mAh/cm2. Alumina modified separators promote electrolyte wetting and increase ionic conductivity (0.59 vs. 0.2 mS/cm) and transference number (0.81 vs. 0.23). Cryo-stage focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) analysis of cycled modified anode demonstrates dense and planar electrodeposits, versus unmodified baseline consisting of metal filaments (dendrites) interspersed with pores and SEI. Alumina-modified CEI also suppresses elemental Fe crossover and reduces cathode cracking. Mesoscale modeling of metal - SEI interactions captures crucial role of intrinsic heterogeneities, illustrating how artificial SEI affects reaction current distribution, conductivity and morphological stability.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202405648. [PMID: 38660735 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202405648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
The interfacial electric field (IEF) in the heterostructure can accelerate electron transport and ion migration, thereby enhancing the electrochemical performance of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Nevertheless, the quantification and modulation of the IEF for high-efficiency PIB anodes currently remains a blank slate. Herein, we achieve for the first time the quantification and tuning of IEF via amorphous carbon-coated undifferentiated cobalt-doped FeSe/Fe3Se4 heterostructure (denoted UN-CoFe4Se5/C) for efficient potassium storage. Co doping can increase the IEF in FeSe/Fe3Se4, thereby improving the electron transport, promoting the potassium adsorption capacity, and lowering the diffusion barrier. As expected, the IEF magnitude in UN-CoFe4Se5/C is experimentally quantified as 62.84 mV, which is 3.65 times larger than that of amorphous carbon-coated FeSe/Fe3Se4 heterostructure (Fe4Se5/C). Benefiting from the strong IEF, UN-CoFe4Se5/C as a PIB anode exhibits superior rate capability (145.8 mAh g-1 at 10.0 A g-1) and long cycle lifespan (capacity retention of 95.1 % over 3000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1). Furthermore, this undifferentiated doping strategy can universally regulate the IEF magnitude in CoSe2/Co9Se8 and FeS2/Fe7S8 heterostructures. This work can provide fundamental insights into the design of advanced PIB electrodes.

Abstract
The practical application of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) is limited by serious side reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction and Zn dendrite growth. Here, the study proposes a novel adoption of a biodegradable electrolyte additive, γ-Valerolactone (GVL), with only 1 vol.% addition (GVL-to-H2O volume ratio) to enable a stable Zn metal anode. The combination of experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations verifies that the green GVL additive can competitively engage the solvated structure of Zn2+ via replacing a H2O molecule from [Zn(H2O)6]2+, which can efficiently reduce the reactivity of water and inhibit the subsequent side reactions. Additionally, GVL molecules are preferentially adsorbed on the surface of Zn to regulate the uniform Zn deposition and suppress the Zn dendrite growth. Consequently, the Zn anode exhibits boosted stability with ultralong cycle lifespan (over 3500 h) and high reversibility with 99.69% Coulombic efficiency. The Zn||MnO2 full batteries with ZnSO4-GVL electrolyte show a high capacity of 219 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 and improved capacity retention of 78% after 550 cycles. This work provides inspiration on bio-based electrolyte additives for aqueous battery chemistry and promotes the practical application of AZIBs.

Abstract
With the continuously growing demand for wide-range applications, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are increasingly required to work under conditions that deviate from room temperature (RT). However, commercial electrolytes exhibit low thermal stability at high temperatures (HT) and poor dynamic properties at low temperatures (LT), hindering the operation of LIBs under extreme conditions. The bottleneck restricting the practical applications of LIBs has promoted researchers to pay more attention to developing a series of innovative electrolytes. This review primarily covers the design of electrolytes for LIBs from a temperature adaptability perspective. First, the fundamentals of electrolytes concerning temperature, including donor number (DN), dielectric constant, viscosity, conductivity, ionic transport, and theoretical calculations are elaborated. Second, prototypical examples, such as lithium salts, solvent structures, additives, and interfacial layers in both liquid and solid electrolytes, are presented to explain how these factors can affect the electrochemical behavior of LIBs at high or low temperatures. Meanwhile, the principles and limitations of electrolyte design are discussed under the corresponding temperature conditions. Finally, a summary and outlook regarding electrolytes design to extend the temperature adaptability of LIBs are proposed.

Abstract
Iron-based materials with significant physicochemical properties, including high theoretical capacity, low cost and mechanical and thermal stability, have attracted research attention as electrode materials for alkali metal-ion batteries (AMIBs). However, practical implementation of some iron-based materials is impeded by their poor conductivity, large volume change, and irreversible phase transition during electrochemical reactions. In this review we critically assess advances in the chemical synthesis and structural design, together with modification strategies, of iron-based compounds for AMIBs, to obviate these issues. We assess and categorize structural and compositional regulation and its effects on the working mechanisms and electrochemical performances of AMIBs. We establish insight into their applications and determine practical challenges in their development. We provide perspectives on future directions and likely outcomes. We conclude that for boosted electrochemical performance there is a need for better design of structures and compositions to increase ionic/electronic conductivity and the contact area between active materials and electrolytes and to obviate the large volume change and low conductivity. Findings will be of interest and benefit to researchers and manufacturers for sustainable development of advanced rechargeable ion batteries using iron-based electrode materials.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials have shown significant potential for aqueous Zn ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their flexible structure designability and cost advantage. However, sluggish ionic diffusion, high solubility, and low capacities limit their practical application. Here, we designed a covalent organic framework (TA-PTO-COF) generated by covalently bonding tris(4-formylbiphenyl)amine (TA) and 2,7-diaminopyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO-NH2). The highly conjugated skeleton inside enhances its electron delocalization and intermolecular interaction, leading to high electronic conductivity and limited solubility. The open channel within the TA-PTO-COF provides ionic diffusion pathways for fast reaction kinetics. In addition, the abundant active sites (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N and C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) endow the TA-PTO-COF with a large reversible capacity. As a result, the well-designed TA-PTO-COF cathode delivers exceptional capacity (255 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), excellent cycling stability, and a superior rate capacity of 186 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1. Additionally, the co-insertion mechanism of Zn2+/H+ within the TA-PTO-COF cathode is revealed in depth by ex situ spectroscopy. This study presents an effective strategy for developing high-performance organic cathodes for advanced AZIBs.

Abstract
In recent years, flexible and wearable electronics such as smart cards, smart fabrics, bio-sensors, soft robotics, and internet-linked electronics have impacted our lives. In order to meet the requirements of more flexible and adaptable paradigm shifts, wearable products may need to be seamlessly integrated. A great deal of effort has been made in the last two decades to develop flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs). The selection of suitable flexible materials is important for the development of flexible electrolytes self-supported and supported electrodes. This review is focused on the critical discussion of the factors that evaluate the flexibility of the materials and their potential path toward achieving the FLIBs. Following this analysis, we present how to evaluate the flexibility of the battery materials and FLIBs. We describe the chemistry of carbon-based materials, covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and MXene-based materials and their flexible cell design that represented excellent electrochemical performances during bending. Furthermore, the application of state-of-the-art solid polymer and solid electrolytes to accelerate the development of FLIBs is introduced. Analyzing the contributions and developments of different countries has also been highlighted in the past decade. In addition, the prospects and potential of flexible materials and their engineering are also discussed, providing the roadmap for further developments in this fast-evolving field of FLIB research.

Abstract
Batteries that are both high-energy-density and durable at sub-zero temperatures are highly desirable for deep space and subsea exploration and military defense applications. Our design incorporates a casting membrane technology to prepare a gallium indium liquid metal (LM)/fluoropolymer hybrid protective film on a lithium metal anode. The LM not only spontaneously forms a passivation alloy layer with lithium but also reduces the nucleation potential barrier and homogenizes the Li+ flux on the surface of the lithium anode. The fluoropolymer's polar functional groups (-C-F-) effectively induce targeted dispersion of gallium indium seeds, and the unique pit structure on the surface provides oriented sites for lithium plating. By implementing these strategies optimally, the protected lithium metal anode remains in operation at a current density of 20 mA cm-2 with an over-potential of about 50.4 mV after 500 h, and the full cells have a high capacity retention rate of up to 98.5% at a current density of 0.5 C after 100 cycles. Furthermore, the battery shows improved low temperature performance at -30 °C, validating the potential of the protective film to enable battery operation at sub-zero temperatures.

Abstract
Developing high-performance anodes is one of the most effective ways to improve the energy storage performances of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Among them, Ti-based oxides, including TiO2, K2Ti6O13, K2Ti4O9, K2Ti8O17, Li4Ti5O12, etc., as the intrinsic structural advantages, are of great interest for applications in PIBs. Despite numerous merits of Ti-based oxide anodes, such as fantastic chemical and thermal stability, a rich reserve of raw materials, non-toxic and environmentally friendly properties, etc., their poor electrical conductivity limits the energy storage applications in PIBs, which is the key challenge for these anodes. Although various modification projects are effectively used to improve their energy storage performances, there are still some related issues and problems that need to be addressed and solved. This review provides a comprehensive summary on the latest research progress of Ti-based oxide anodes for the application in PIBs. Besides the major impactful work and various performance improvement strategies, such as structural regulation, carbon modification, element doping, etc., some promising research directions, including effects of electrolytes and binders, MXene-derived TiO2-based anodes and application as a modifier, are outlined in this review. In addition, noteworthy research perspectives and future development challenges for Ti-based oxide anodes in PIBs are also proposed.

[PMID: 37604148 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/acf224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are reliable and promising cathode materials for aqueous sodium-ion batteries (ASIBs) owing to their open three-dimensional frameworks, outstanding stability, and low production costs. However, PBAs containing only a single type of transition-metal ion often have limited charge-storage capacities in aqueous systems. This study reports the first example of K0.11Ni0.39Co0.79[Fe(CN)6]·2.04H2O nanoparticles (Ni/Co-PBA) being used as a high-capacity cathode material for ASIBs. Owing to multi-electron redox reactions involving Co and Fe ions, Ni/Co-PBA has an initial capacity of 65 mAh g-1and a capacity retention rate of 80% after 1000 cycles at 1.0 A g-1, indicating its outstanding cycle performance and capacity retention. Ex-situ x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique were used to analyze the redox mechanisms and kinetics of Ni/Co-PBA. Ni/Co-PBA-based ASIBs are among the most promising energy-storage technologies for large-scale fixed energy-storage systems because of their outstanding electrochemical performance, low costs, and high efficiency.

Abstract
Iron sulfides are widely explored as anodes of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to high theoretical capacities and low cost, but their practical application is still impeded by poor rate capability and fast capacity decay. Herein, for the first time, we construct highly dispersed Fe7S8 nanoparticles anchored on a porous N-doped carbon nanosheet (CN) skeleton (denoted as Fe7S8/NC) with high conductivity and numerous active sites via facile ion adsorption and thermal evaporation combined procedures coupled with a gas sulfurization treatment. Nanoscale design coupled with a conductive carbon skeleton can simultaneously mitigate the above obstacles to obtain enhanced structural stability and faster electrode reaction kinetics. With the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the synergistic interaction between CNs and Fe7S8 can not only ensure enhanced Na+ adsorption ability but also promote the charge transfer kinetics of the Fe7S8/NC electrode. Accordingly, the designed Fe7S8/NC electrode exhibits remarkable electrochemical performance with superior high-rate capability (451.4 mAh g-1 at 6 A g-1) and excellent long-term cycling stability (508.5 mAh g-1 over 1000 cycles at 4 A g-1) due to effectively alleviated volumetric variation, accelerated charge transfer kinetics, and strengthened structural integrity. Our work provides a feasible and effective design strategy toward the low-cost and scalable production of high-performance metal sulfide anode materials for SIBs.

Abstract
Potassium vanadium oxyfluoride phosphate of composition KVPO4F0.5O0.5 was modified by a carbon coating to enhance its electrochemical performance. Two distinct methods were used, first, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using acetylene gas as a carbon precursor and second, an aqueous route using an abundant, cheap, and green precursor (chitosan) followed by a pyrolysis step. The formation of a 5 to 7 nm-thick carbon coating was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy and it was found to be more homogeneous in the case of CVD using acetylene gas. Indeed, an increase of the specific surface area of one order of magnitude, low content of C sp2, and residual oxygen surface functionalities were observed when the coating was obtained using chitosan. Pristine and carbon-coated materials were compared as positive electrode materials in potassium half-cells cycled at a C/5 (C = 26.5 mA g-1) rate within a potential window of 3 to 5 V vs K+/K. The formation by CVD of a uniform carbon coating with the limited presence of surface functions was shown to improve the initial coulombic efficiency up to 87% for KVPFO4F0.5O0.5-C2H2 and to mitigate electrolyte decomposition. Thus, performance at high C-rates such as 10 C was significantly improved, with ∼50% of the initial capacity maintained after 10 cycles, whereas a fast capacity loss is observed for the pristine material.

Abstract
Great changes have occurred in the energy storage area in recent years as a result of rapid economic expansion. People have conducted substantial research on sustainable energy conversion and storage systems in order to mitigate the looming energy crisis. As a result, developing energy storage materials is critical. Materials with an open frame structure are known as Prussian blue analogs (PBAs). Anode materials for oxides, sulfides, selenides, phosphides, borides, and carbides have been extensively explored as anode materials in the field of energy conversion and storage in recent years. The advantages and disadvantages of oxides, sulfides, selenides, phosphides, borides, carbides, and other elements, as well as experimental methodologies and electrochemical properties, are discussed in this work. The findings reveal that employing oxides, sulfides, selenides, phosphides, borides, and other electrode materials to overcome the problems of low conductivity, excessive material loss, and low specific volume is ineffective. Therefore, this review intends to address the issues of diverse energy storage materials by combining multiple technologies to manufacture battery materials with low cost, large capacity, and extended service life.

Abstract
Building a proper flexible electrode with high cycling stability, rate capacity and initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) for flexible potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) remains a challenge. Herein, nitrogen/phosphorus co-doped carbon coated FeP nanorods arrays on carbon cloth (FeP@N, PC NRs/CC) as high-rate capable flexible self-supporting anode was successfully fabricated. The composite electrode combines the advantages of FeP nanorods arrays (FeP NRs), carbon cloth (CC) and N, P co-doped carbon shell (N, P-C), which comprehensively improves the electrochemical stability of the flexible electrode, while the open space between FeP nanorods can facilitate electrolyte impregnation and enhance K+ transfer, thus effectively elevating the corresponding rate capability. For the FeP@N, PC NRs/CC electrode, it delivers a reversible capacity of 388.8 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 up to 400 cycles. Even at 1.5 A g-1, it can still achieve a remarkable rate capacity of 346.9 mA h g-1. Moreover, the assembled soft-packed cell can always light the LED lights when it is bent at different angles, which exhibits excellent mechanical flexibility.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) feature high safety, low cost, environmental-friendliness, and promising electrochemical performance, and are therefore regarded as a potential technology to be applied in large-scale energy storage devices. However, ZIBs still face some critical challenges and bottlenecks. The electrolyte is an essential component of batteries and its properties affect the mass transport, energy storage mechanisms, reaction kinetics, and side reactions of ZIBs. The adjustment of electrolyte formulas usually has direct and obvious impacts on the overall output and performance. In this review, advanced electrolyte strategies are overviewed for optimizing the compatibility between cathode materials and electrolytes, inhibiting anode corrosion and dendrite growth, extending electrochemical stability windows, enabling wearable applications, and enhancing temperature tolerance. The underlying scientific mechanisms, electrolyte design principles, and recent progress are presented to provide a better understanding and inspiration to readers. In addition, a comprehensive perspective about electrolyte design and engineering for ZIBs is included.

Abstract
The limited availability of cathode materials with high specific capacity and significant cycling stability for aqueous K-ion batteries (AKIBs) hinder their further development owing to the large radius of K+ (1.38 Å). Prussian blue and its analogs with a three-dimensional frame structure possessing special energy storage mechanism are promising candidates as cathode materials for AKIBs. In this study, K0.2 Ni0.68 Co0.77 Fe(CN)6 ⋅ 1.8H2 O (KNCHCF) was prepared as a cathode material for AKIBs. Both the electrochemical activity of Co ions and the near-pseudocapacitance intercalation of KNCHCF enhance K+ storage. Therefore, KNCHCF exhibits a superior capacity maintenance rate of 86 % after 1000 cycles at a high current density of 3.0 A g-1 . The storage mechanism of K+ in AKIBs was revealed through ex situ X-ray diffraction, ex situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. Moreover, the assembled K-Zn hybrid battery showed good cycling stability with 93.1 % capacity maintenance at 0.1 A g-1 after 50 cycles and a high energy density of 96.81 W h kg-1 . Hence, KNCHCF may be a potential material for the development of AKIBs.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) exhibit a considerable application prospect for energy storage systems due to their low cost, high operating voltage, and superior ionic conductivity. As a vital configuration in PIBs, the two-phase interface, which refers to K-ion diffusion from the electrolyte to the electrode surface (solid-liquid interface) and K-ion migration between different particles (solid-solid interface), deeply determines the diffusion/reaction kinetics and structural stability, thus significantly affecting the rate performance and cyclability. However, researches on two-phase interface are still in its infancy and need further attentions. This review first starts from the fundamental understanding of solid-liquid and solid-solid interfaces to in-depth analyzing the effect mechanism of different improvement strategies on them, such as optimization of electrolyte and binders, heterostructure design, modulation of interlayer spacing, etc. Afterward, the research progress of these improvement strategies is summarized comprehensively. Finally, the major challenges are proposed, and the corresponding solving strategies are presented. This review is expected to give an insight into the importance of two-phase interface on diffusion/reaction kinetics, and provides a guidance for developing other advanced anodes in PIBs.

Abstract
The high specific capacity of alkalic metal (Li, Na, and K) anodes has drawn widespread interest; however, the practical applications of alkalic metal anodes have been hampered by dendrite growth and interfacial instability, resulting in performance deterioration and even safety issues. Here, we describe a simple method for building tunable fluoride-based artificial solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) from the fluorination reaction of alkali metals with a mild organic fluorinating reagent. Comprehensive characterization by advanced electron microscopes shows that the LiF-based artificial SEI adopts a crystal-glass structure, which enables efficient Li ion transport and improves structural integrity against the volume changes that occur during Li plating/stripping. Compared with bare Li anode, the ones with artificial SEI exhibit decreased voltage hysteresis, enhanced rate capability, and prolonged cycle life. This method is also applied to generate fluoride-based artificial SEI on Na and K metal anodes that brings significant improvement in battery performance.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have received widespread interest on account of low redox potential, low price, and high abundance of potassium. However, attributing to the large radius of K+ ions, the structure of electrode material is easily damaged during the potassiation/depotassiation process. Herein, the unique chemical bonding of encapsulating V5.45S8 nanoparticles in N,S codoped multichannel carbon nanofibers (CB-VS@NSCNFs) is designed through electrospinning and in situ vulcanization techniques. The anchoring effect (V-C chemical bonding) of the V5.45S8 nanoparticles with carbon carriers assists in shortening the K+/e- transport path and alleviating the structural changes, which is highlighted to acquire a stable cycle lifespan. Also, codoped multichannel carbon nanofibers provide abundant active sites for pseudocapacitive behavior to achieve fast kinetics. As a synergistic result, when CB-VS@NSCNFs are evaluated as anode material for PIBs, they exhibit a high reversible capacity of 411 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, decent rate property with a capacity of up to 123 mA h g-1 at 6 A g-1, and good cycling stability of 500 cycles at 1 A g-1.

Abstract
Transitional metal sulfides (TMSs) are considered as promising anode candidates for potassium storage because of their ultrahigh theoretical capacity and low cost. However, TMSs suffer from low electronic, ionic conductivity and significant volume expansion during potassium ion intercalation. Here, we construct a carbon-coated CoS@SnS heterojunction which effectively alleviates the volume change and improves the electrochemical performance of TMSs. The mechanism analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculation prove the acceleration of K-ion diffusion by the built-in electric field in the CoS@SnS heterojunction. Specifically, the as-prepared material maintains 81% of its original capacity after 2000 cycles at 500 mA g-1. In addition, when the current density is set at 2000 mA g-1, it can still deliver a high discharge capacity of 210 mAh g-1. Moreover, the full cell can deliver a high capacity of 400 mAh g-1 even after 150 cycles when paired with a perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxydiimide (PTCDI) cathode. This work is expected to provide a material design idea dealing with the unstable and low rate capability problems of potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The emerging potassium-tellurium (K-Te) battery system is expected to realize fast reaction kinetics and excellent rate performance due to the exceptional electrical conductivity of Te. However, there has been a lack of fundamental knowledge about this new K-Te system, including the reaction mechanism and cathode structure design. Herein, a two-step reaction pathway from Te to K2 Te3 and ultimately to K5 Te3 is investigated in carbonate electrolyte-based K-Te batteries by X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electron diffraction characterizations. Additionally, the atomic layer deposition technique is adopted to deposit an ultrathin aluminum oxide (Al2 O3 ) film on the electrode surface, which induces the generation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase layer and reduces the loss of active materials effectively. Consequently, the rationally fabricated Te/porous carbon cathode with functional Al2 O3 coating delivers remarkable long-term cycling stability over 500 cycles at 1 C with an ultralow capacity decay of only 0.01% per cycle. This interface engineering strategy is validated to stabilize the electrode surface, enhance the structural integrity and ensure reliable electron transfer and K-ion conduction over repeated potassiation/depotassiation cycles. These findings are expected to promote the development of high-energy-density K-S/Se/Te batteries.

Abstract
High volumetric capacity and durability anode materials for sodium ion batteries have been urgently required for practical applications. Herein, we reported a Sn-pillared pyknotic graphene conductive network with high-level N-doping. This densely stacked block offers high volumetric Na-ion storage capacity, rapid electrochemical reaction kinetics, and robust structural stability during cycling owing to the high capacity component (metallic Sn ≈847 mAh g-1), high tap density (≈2.63 g cm-3), high conductivity (N doping ≈5 at. %), and strong spatially confined and pillared structure. Moreover, theoretical simulations have indicated that the charge accumulation around the N-doped region is more pronounced compared to the pristine one, and electrons accumulate around the N atom while loss occurs at the Na atom. These studies also suggest that it might possibly contribute to higher conductivity and stronger electrophilic reactivity, thereby resulting in enhanced Na-ion storage performance. As a result, the as-obtained electrode material exhibits competitive volumetric capacity (1462 mAh cm-3 at 0.1 A g-1), cycling performance (1207 mAh cm-3 after 100 cycles), and promising rate behavior simultaneously.

Abstract
Carbonaceous materials featuring both ordered graphitic structure and disordered defects hold great promise for high-performance K-ion batteries (KIBs) due to the concurrent advantages of high electronic conductivity, fast and reversible K+ intercalation/deintercalation, and abundant active K+ storage sites. However, it has been a lingering problem and remains a big challenge because graphitization and defects are intrinsic trade-off properties of carbonaceous materials. Herein, for the first time, we propose a cobalt-catalyzed carbonization strategy to fabricate porous carbon nanofibers that incorporate disordered defects in graphitic domain layers (PCNFs-DG) for fast and durable K+ storage. The Co catalyst not only ensures the formation of highly graphitized carbon shells around the Co particles but also introduces nanopores and doping defects in the following catalyst removal process. This idea of architecting defected-ordered graphitic carbon engineering guarantees fast reaction kinetics as well as structural stability with negligible interlayer expansion/contraction owing to the uncompromised electronic conductivity, expanded interlayer spacing, and regulated K+ storage mechanism. These appealing features translate to a high reversible capacity of 318.5 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 and ultrahigh stability with almost 100% capacity retention over 2000 cycles in KIBs. This work puts in perspective that defected and ordered carbonaceous materials could be simultaneously achieved, advancing their performance for next-generation energy storage systems.

Abstract
Iron-based Prussian blue (FeHCF) has great application potential in the large-scale production of sodium-ion (Na+) batteries because of its high theoretical capacity and abundant Fe ore resources. However, the Fe(CN)6 vacancies and crystal water seriously affect the electrochemical performance. Herein, a Cu-doped FeHCF (Cu-FeHCF) cathode material is successfully prepared directly by a coprecipitation method. After Cu doping, the monoclinic structure and the quasi-cubic morphology are retained, but the electrochemical performance is significantly improved. In addition to few Fe(CN)6 vacancies and low crystal water, the improved performance is also related to the enhanced electrochemical activity of low-spin Fe and the stabilizing effect of Cu on the crystal structure. Moreover, Cu doping also controls the side reaction to a certain extent. As a result, after Cu doping, the initial discharge capacity is enhanced from 107.9 to 127.4 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1, especially the capacities contributed by low-spin Fe increase from 30.0, 21.7, and 16.7 mA h g-1 to 48.8, 45.4, and 43.7 mA h g-1 for the first three cycles, respectively. Even at 2 A g-1, Cu-FeHCF still has a promising initial capacity of 82.3 mA h g-1 and only a 0.047% capacity decay rate for each cycle over 500 cycles. Therefore, Cu-FeHCF shows excellent application potential in the field of Na+ energy storage batteries.

Abstract
This is the first report of a multifunctional separator for potassium-metal batteries (KMBs). Double-coated tape-cast microscale AlF3 on polypropylene (AlF3 @PP) yields state-of-the-art electrochemical performance: symmetric cells are stable after 1000 cycles (2000 h) at 0.5 mA cm-2 and 0.5 mAh cm-2 , with 0.042 V overpotential. Stability is maintained at 5.0 mA cm-2 for 600 cycles (240 h), with 0.138 V overpotential. Postcycled plated surface is dendrite-free, while stripped surface contains smooth solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Conventional PP cells fail rapidly, with dendrites at plating, and "dead metal" and SEI clumps at stripping. Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) cathode KMBs with AlF3 @PP display enhanced capacity retention (91% at 100 cycles vs 58%). AlF3 partially reacts with K to form an artificial SEI containing KF, AlF3 , and Al2 O3 phases. The AlF3 @PP promotes complete electrolyte wetting and enhances uptake, improves ion conductivity, and increases ion transference number. The higher of K+ transference number is ascribed to the strong interaction between AlF3 and FSI- anions, as revealed through 19 F NMR. The enhancement in wetting and performance is general, being demonstrated with ester- and ether-based solvents, with K-, Na-, or Li- salts, and with different commercial separators. In full batteries, AlF3 prevents Fe crossover and cycling-induced cathode pulverization.

Abstract
The potassium-ion battery (PIB) is an emerging energy storage technology due to its potential low cost and reasonably high energy density. However, PIB suffers from severe potassium (K) dendrites growth and even short circuiting caused by the high reactivity of K metal. To address these challenges, this work develops a robust composite gel polymer electrolyte (CGPE), named poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide polyacrylonitrile (PVDF-HFP-KFSI@PAN). It is found that the introduction of PAN nanofibers not only improves the mechanical properties but also widens the electrochemical stability window of the CGPE. As a result, the CGPE is much more effective in regulating K stripping/plating and enabling stable K metal anode. K metal symmetrical cells with CGPE exhibit a lifetime of over 1200 h at the current density of 0.5 mA cm-2 , in contrast to 22 h for PVDF-HFP-KFSI and 185 h for a conventional glass fiber separator. The main reasons for the excellent performance of K metal cells with CGPE are attributed to the suppressed K dendrite growth, good structural integrity electrochemical stability of the CGPE, and stable KF-rich solid electrolyte interphase layer at the electrode-CGPE interface. It is expected that this facile strategy to stabilize K metal will pave the way for safer and more durable K metal batteries.

Abstract
The inevitable problem of dendrites growth has hampered the further development of K metal anodes. Constructing a three-dimensional anode framework and potassiophilic nanocoating is an effective way to enlarge the specific surface area, reduce the local current density, and inhibit the formation of K dendrites. However, the effects of the electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of the framework on deposition behavior have not been clarified. Hence, SnS2 nanosheets with different sizes are loaded on the surface of carbon paper (SnS2@CP) to improve the potassiophilicity and realize dendrite-free K-metal anodes. Experiments reveal that the size of SnS2 nanosheets would determine the ECSA of the framework, while the ECSA reveals the relative sizes of specific surface areas of frameworks. Excessive or limited specific surface areas will cause morphological collapse or weak potassiophilicity during potassiation, respectively, thus leading to high nucleation overpotential. The moderate specific surface area and abundant and stable potassiophilic sites prompt the SnS2@CP framework to achieve uniform electrodeposition of K. A low nucleation overpotential of 11.2 mV and a cycle life of more than 800 h are exhibited at a current density of 0.25 mA cm-2, indicating the directional strategy for stable and safe K metal anodes.

Abstract
Polyoxometalate (POM)-based materials are considered as promising candidates for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their stable and well-defined molecular structure and reversible multielectron redox properties. Currently, POM-based electrode materials suffer from high interfacial resistance and low uniformity. Herein, we reported a self-supported POM-based anode material for LIBs by electrodepositing H3PMo12O40 (PMo12) and aniline on carbon cloth (CC) for the first time. The as-prepared polyaniline (PANi)-PMo12/CC composite exhibited an excellent reversible capacity of 1092 mA h g-1 for 200 cycles at 1 A g-1. Such an outstanding performance was attributed to the rapid electron transfer and Li+ diffusion stemming from the exposure of more active sites by the self-supported structure, the strong electrostatic interaction, and electronic structure reconfiguration between the active PMo12 cluster and conductive PANi polymer. This work provides insight into the electronic structure engineering of highly efficient LIB anode materials.

Abstract
Transparent flexible supercapacitors (TFSCs) are a tantalizing power supplier for future transparent flexible electronics. However, their energy density is far behind a practical level while maintaining high transparency. We report here a transparent flexible potassium-ion microcapacitor, and its high energy density (15.5 μWh cm-2) roots in the battery-supercapacitor hybrid storage mechanism and much enlarged working voltage (3 V), outperforming the state-of-the-art TFSC, which is generally based on an aqueous electrolyte and an asymmetric pseudocapacitive mechanism. From an electrode material perspective, a multidimensional topotactic host composite anode is designed in which the component not only performs energy storage by synchronous and reversible uptake of potassium ions and electrons into its host structure, but also mutually compensates individual weakness in functional and structural aspects, efficiently constructing a three-dimensional potassium-ion diffusion and electron transport system. This conceptual exhibition provides design principles at material and device levels for high-performance TFSCs.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials hold unique advantages for electrochemical alkali-ion storage but cannot yet fulfill their potential. The key lies in the design of structurally stable candidates that have negligible solution solubility and can withstand thousands of cycles under operation. To this end, we demonstrate here the preparation of dimensionally stable polyimide frameworks from the two-dimensional cross-linking of tetraaminobenzene and dianhydride. The product consists of hierarchically assembled nanosheets with thin thickness and abundant porosity. Its robust molecular frameworks and advantageous nanoscale features render our polymeric material a promising cathode candidate for both sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries. Most strikingly, an extraordinary cycle life of up to 6000 cycles at 2 A g-1 is demonstrated, outperforming most of its competitors. Theoretical simulations support the great activity of our polymeric product for the electrochemical alkali-ion storage.

Abstract
Layered sodium manganese oxides are promising low-cost and high-capacity cathode materials for commercialization of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). P'2-type Na0.67MnO2 with an orthorhombic structure has been considered as a significant candidate for SIBs. However, the Jahn-Teller distortion and undesired phase transitions will lead to poor structural stability and unsatisfactory cycling performance. Herein, a systematic investigation on partially copper-doped P'2-type Na0.67CuxMn1-xO2 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2) series as cathodes for SIBs reveals the relationship between doping concentrations and Na storage properties. With proper copper content, P'2 Na0.67Cu0.1Mn0.9O2 exhibits a suppressed Jahn-Teller effect as well as relatively less phase transitions, which can deliver a high specific capacity of 222.7 mA h g-1 at 10 mA g-1 within 1.5-4.2 V, with a capacity retention of 76% at 1 A g-1 after 300 cycles. The electrochemical mechanism is systematically investigated via in situ X-ray diffraction observations and density functional theory calculations, which provide fundamental guidelines for developing high-performance cathodes for SIBs.

Abstract
As a promising low-cost energy storage device, the development of a rechargeable potassium-ion battery (KIB) is severely hindered by the limited capacity of cathode candidates. Regarded as an attractive capacity-boosting strategy, triggering the O-related anionic redox activity has not been achieved within a sealed KIB system. Herein, in contrast to the typical gaseous open K-O2 battery (O2/KO2 redox), we originally realize the reversible superoxide/peroxide (KO2/K2O2) interconversion on a KO2-based cathode. Controlled within a sealed cell environment, the irreversible O2 evolution and electrolyte decomposition (induced by superoxide anion (O2−) formation) are effectively restrained. Rationally controlling the reversible depth-of-charge at 300 mAh/g (based on the mass of KO2), no obvious cell degradation can be observed during 900 cycles. Moreover, benefitting from electrolyte modification, the KO2-based cathode is coupled with a limited amount of K-metal anode (merely 2.5 times excess), harvesting a K-metal full-cell with high energy efficiency (∼90%) and long-term cycling stability (over 300 cycles).

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted tremendous attention because of their high energy density and low-cost. As such, much effort has focused on developing electrode materials and electrolytes for PIBs at the material levels. This review begins with an overview of the high-performance electrode materials and electrolytes, and then evaluates their prospects and challenges for practical PIBs to penetrate the market. The current status of PIBs for safe operation, energy density, power density, cyclability, and sustainability is discussed and future studies for electrode materials, electrolytes, and electrode-electrolyte interfaces are identified. It is anticipated that this review will motivate research and development to fill existing gaps for practical potassium-based full batteries so that they may be commercialized in the near future.

Abstract
Prussian blue (PB) is a very promising cathode for K-ion batteries but its low electronic conductivity and deficiencies in the framework aggravate electrochemical performances. Compositing with conductive reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is an effective solution to address this problem. Nevertheless, little attention was paid to the loss of oxygen-containing functional groups on the rGO substrate during the compositing process, which weakens the interaction between PB and rGO and leads to poor electrochemical performance of PB/rGO. Herein, this interaction effect associated with surface functional groups is first openly debated. Two commonly used carbon substrates, graphene oxide (GO) and rGO, are investigated. A more stable interaction between PB and GO contributes to a higher capacity retention (91.8%) than that of PB/rGO (69.7%) after 300 cycles at a current density of 5 C. Meanwhile, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is employed to repair the weak interaction between PB and rGO substrates. PB is anchored to the rGO surface through the stable covalent linking of amide groups in PVP. A superior rate capability of 72 mA h g-1 at 10 C and an improved capacity retention of 96.5% over 800 cycles at 5 C are obtained by as-prepared PB/PVP-rGO. This study provides a deeper understanding of fabricating PB/carbon composites with a robust connection.

Abstract
Nowadays, Li-S batteries are facing many thorny challenges like volume expansion and lithium dendrites on the road to commercialization. Due to the peculiarity of complete lithiation and the capability to match non-lithium anodes, Li2S-based Li-S batteries have attracted more and more attention. Nevertheless, the same notorious shuttle effect of polysulfides as in traditional Li-S batteries and the poor conductivity of Li2S lead to sluggish conversion reaction kinetics, poor Coulombic efficiency, and cycling performance. Herein, we propose the interconnected porous carbon skeleton as the host, which is modified by an atomically dispersed Mn catalyst as well as O, N atoms (named as ON-MnPC) via the melt salt method, and introduce the Li2S nanosheet into the carbon host with poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) ethanol solution. It has been found that the introduction of O, N to bind with Mn atoms can endow the nonpolar carbon surface with ample unsaturated coordination active sites, restrain the shuttle effect, and enhance the diffusion of Li+ and accelerate the conversion reaction kinetics. Besides, due to the ultra-high catalyst activity of atomically dispersed Mn catalysts, the Li2S/ON-MnPC cathode shows good electrochemical performance, e.g., an initial capacity of 534 mAh g-1, a capacity of 514.18 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles, a high retention rate of 96.23%, and a decay rate of 0.04% per cycle. Hence, use of atomically dispersed Mn catalysts to catalyze the chemical conversion reactions of polysulfides from multiple dimensions is a significant exploration, and it can provide a brand-new train of thought for the development and commercialization of the economical, high-performance Li2S-based Li-S batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries provide crucial energy storage systems for renewable energy sources, as well as consumer electronics and electrical vehicles. There are a number of important parameters that determine the suitability of electrode materials for battery applications, such as the average voltage and the maximum specific capacity which contribute to the overall energy density. Another important performance criterion for battery electrode materials is their volume change upon charging and discharging, which contributes to determine the cyclability, Coulombic efficiency, and safety of a battery. In this work, we present deep neural network regression machine learning models (ML), trained on data obtained from the Materials Project database, for predicting average voltages and volume change upon charging and discharging of electrode materials for metal-ion batteries. Our models exhibit good performance as measured by the average mean absolute error obtained from a 10-fold cross-validation, as well as on independent test sets. We further assess the robustness of our ML models by investigating their screening potential beyond the training database. We produce Na-ion electrodes by systematically replacing Li-ions in the original database by Na-ions and, then, selecting a set of 22 electrodes that exhibit a good performance in energy density, as well as small volume variations upon charging and discharging, as predicted by the machine learning model. The ML predictions for these materials are then compared to quantum-mechanics based calculations. Our results reaffirm the significant role of machine learning techniques in the exploration of materials for battery applications.

Abstract
Potassium-based solid electrolyte interphases (SEIs) have a much smaller damage threshold than their lithium counterpart; thus, they are significantly more beam sensitive. Here, an ultralow-dose cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) technique (≈8 e Å-2 s-1 × 10 s), which enables the atomic-scale chemical imaging of the electron-beam-sensitive potassium metal and SEI in its native state, is adapted. The potassium-based SEI consists of large brackets of diverse inorganic phases (≈hundreds of nanometers) interspersed with amorphous phases, which are different from the tiny nanocrystalline inorganic phases (≈a few nanometers) formed in a lithium-based SEI. Organic phosphate-based electrolyte solvents induce the formation of a thin and stable SEI layer for enhanced cycling performance, while the carbonate ester-based electrolytes result in large quantities of metastable KHCO3 , and K4 CO4 products in the SEI, depleting the potassium reserves in the battery. The findings provide deep insights and guidance in the selection of optimum electrolytes that should be used for potassium batteries.

Abstract
Due to the obvious advantage in potassium reserves, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are now receiving increasing research attention as an alternative energy storage system for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Unfortunately, the large size of K+ makes it a challenging task to identify suitable electrode materials, particularly cathode ones that determine the energy density of PIBs, capable of tolerating the serious structural deformation during the continuous intercalation/deintercalation of K+ . It is therefore of paramount importance that proper design principles of cathode materials be followed to ensure stable electrochemical performance if a practical application of PIBs is expected. Herein, the current knowledge on the structural engineering of cathode materials acquired during the battle against its performance degradation is summarized. The K+ storage behavior of different types of cathodes is discussed in detail and the structure-performance relationship of materials sensitive to their different lattice frameworks is highlighted. The key issues facing the future development of different categories of cathode materials are also highlighted and perspectives for potential approaches and strategies to promote the further development of PIBs are provided.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are receiving increased attention due to their cost-effective and similar energy-storage mechanism to lithium-ion batteries. However, the lack of appropriate electrode materials is still hampered for their development, which is mainly caused by the large size of the potassium ions (1.38 Å) including low structural stability and poor electrochemical redox reaction kinetics. Herein, Co3 Se4 quantum dots (QD) encapsulated by N-doped carbon (CSC) are reported as an anode material for KIBs, in which a morphology change process occurs. Benefiting from the unique uniform nanostructure reducing the ion-diffusion length, the improved electronic conductivity, and the enhanced protective effect of N-doped carbon (NC) alleviating volume fluctuation, the CSC demonstrates excellent electrochemical performance. The core-shell-like CSC composite demonstrates remarkable discharge capacity (410 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 550 cycles, 360 mA h g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 after 3200 cycles) and excellent cyclic performance over 10 000 cycles at 1 A g-1 . Density functional theory calculations show a larger reaction energy of Co3 Se4 QD than bulk Co3 Se4 , a lower barrier of K atom migration in Co3 Se4 QD than bulk Co3 Se4 , and also favor the intercalation reaction rather than replacement reaction. In situ X-ray diffraction and ex situ transmission electron microscopy are further used to evaluate potassiation/depotassiation phenomena.
