Abstract
The high energy density and low self-discharge rate of lithium-ion batteries make them promising for large-scale energy storage. However, the practical development of such electrochemical energy storage systems relies heavily on the development of anode materials with high multiplier capacity and stable cycle life. Here, a simple and efficient one-step hydrothermal method is used to obtain stannide heterostructures, which are loaded on N-doped graphene (SnS2/SnO2@NG) that promotes Li+ diffusion for fast charge transfer. It is demonstrated that the built-in electric field generated by the electron transfer from electron-rich SnS2 to SnO2 in the stannide heterojunction collectively provides abundant cation adsorption sites, accelerating the migration of Li+ thus improving the electrochemical reaction kinetics. Besides, the SnS2/SnO2 nanoparticles have high structural stability, and the heterojunction compressive stresses obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations can significantly limit the structural damage. When applied as anodes in Li+ batteries with 300 cycles at 0.5 A/g, we achieved a high reversible capacity of 892.73 mAh/g. The rational design of low-cost batteries for energy storage and conversion can benefit from the quantitative design of fast and persistent charge transfer in a stannide heterostructure.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted more and more attention as viable alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the deficiency and uneven distribution of lithium resources. However, it is shown that potassium storage in some compounds through reaction or intercalation mechanisms cannot effectively improve the capacity and stability of anodes for PIBs. The unique anti-spinel structure of magnetite (Fe3 O4 ) is densely packed with thirty-two O atoms to form a face-centered cubic (fcc) unit cell with tetrahedral/octahedral vacancies in the O-closed packing structure, which can serve as K+ storage sites according to the density functional theory (DFT) calculation results. In this work, carbon-coated Fe3 O4 @C nanoparticles are prepared as high-performance anodes for PIBs, which exhibit high reversible capacity (638 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 ) and hyper stable cycling performance at ultrahigh current density (150 mAh g-1 after 9000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ). In situ XRD, ex-situ Fe K-edge XAFS, and DFT calculations confirm the storage of K+ in tetrahedral/octahedral vacancies.

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
Developing fast-charging, high-temperature, and sustainable batteries is critical for the large-scale deployment of energy storage devices in electric vehicles, grid-scale electrical energy storage, and high temperature regions. Here, a transition metal-free all-organic rechargeable potassium battery (RPB) based on abundant and sustainable organic electrode materials (OEMs) and potassium resources for fast-charging and high-temperature applications is demonstrated. N-doped graphene and a 2.8 m potassium hexafluorophosphate (KPF6 ) in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DEGDME) electrolyte are employed to mitigate the dissolution of OEMs, enhance the electrode conductivity, accommodate large volume change, and form stable solid electrolyte interphase in the all-organic RPB. At room temperature, the RPB delivers a high specific capacity of 188.1 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and superior cycle life of 6000 and 50000 cycles at 1 and 5 A g-1 , respectively, demonstrating an ultra-stable and fast-charging all-organic battery. The impressive performance at room temperature is extended to high temperatures, where the high-mass-loading (6.5 mg cm-2 ) all-organic RPB exhibits high-rate capability up to 2 A g-1 and a long lifetime of 500 cycles at 70-100 °C, demonstrating a superb fast-charging and high-temperature battery. The cell configuration demonstrated in this work shows great promise for practical applications of sustainable batteries at extreme conditions.

Abstract
High mass loading and high areal capacity are key metrics for commercial batteries, which are usually limited by the large charge-transfer impedance in thick electrodes. This can be kinetically deteriorated under low temperatures, and the realization of high-areal-capacity batteries in cold climates remains challenging. Herein, a low-temperature high-areal-capacity rechargeable potassium-tellurium (K-Te) battery is successfully fabricated by knocking down the kinetic barriers in the cathode and pairing it with stable anode. Specifically, the in situ electrochemical self-reconstruction of amorphous Cu1.4 Te in a thick electrode is realized simply by coating micro-sized Te on the Cu collector, significantly improving its ionic conductivity. Meanwhile, the optimized electrolyte enables fast ion transportation and a stable K-metal anode at a large current density and areal capacity. Consequently, this K-Te battery achieves a high areal capacity of 1.25 mAh cm-2 at -40 °C, which greatly exceeds those of most reported works. This work highlights the significance of electrode design and electrolyte engineering for high areal capacity at low temperatures, and represents a critical step toward practical applications of low-temperature batteries.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have received much attention as next-generation energy storage systems because of their abundance, low cost, and slightly lower standard redox potential than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nevertheless, they still face great challenges in the design of the best electrode materials for applications. Herein, we have successfully synthesized nano-sized CoSe2 encapsulated by N-doped reduced graphene oxide (denoted as CoSe2@N-rGO) by a direct one-step hydrothermal method, including both orthorhombic and cubic CoSe2 phases. The CoSe2@N-rGO anodes exhibit a high reversible capacity of 599.3 mA h g−1 at 0.05 A g−1 in the initial cycle, and in particular, they also exhibit a cycling stability of 421 mA h g−1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g−1. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that CoSe2 with N-doped carbon can greatly accelerate electron transfer and enhance the rate performance. In addition, the intrinsic causes of the higher electrochemical performance of orthorhombic CoSe2 than that of cubic CoSe2 are also discussed. Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have received much attention as next-generation energy storage systems because of their abundance, low cost, and slightly lower standard redox potential than lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).![]()

Abstract
Potassium batteries show interesting peculiarities as large-scale energy storage systems and, in this scenario, the formulation of polymer electrolytes obtained from sustainable resources or waste-derived products represents a milestone activity. In this study, a lignin-based membrane is designed by crosslinking a pre-oxidized Kraft lignin matrix with an ethoxylated difunctional oligomer, leading to self-standing membranes that are able to incorporate solvated potassium salts. The in-depth electrochemical characterization highlights a wide stability window (up to 4 V) and an ionic conductivity exceeding 10-3 S cm-1 at ambient temperature. When potassium metal cell prototypes are assembled, the lignin-based electrolyte attains significant electrochemical performances, with an initial specific capacity of 168 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and an excellent operation for more than 200 cycles, which is an unprecedented outcome for biosourced systems in potassium batteries.

Abstract
To meet future energy demands, currently, dominant lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) must be supported by abundant and cost-effective alternative battery materials. Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising alternatives to LIBs because KIB materials are abundant and because KIBs exhibit intercalation chemistry like LIBs and comparable energy densities. In pursuit of superior batteries, designing and developing highly efficient electrode materials are indispensable for meeting the requirements of large-scale energy storage applications. Despite using graphite anodes in KIBs instead of in sodium-ion batteries (NIBs), developing suitable KIB cathodes is extremely challenging and has attracted considerable research attention. Among the various cathode materials, layered metal oxides have attracted considerable interest owing to their tunable stoichiometry, high specific capacity, and structural stability. Therefore, the recent progress in layered metal-oxide cathodes is comprehensively reviewed for application to KIBs and the fundamental material design, classification, phase transitions, preparation techniques, and corresponding electrochemical performance of KIBs are presented. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities associated with developing layered oxide cathode materials are presented for practical application to KIBs.

Abstract
In this study, biobased gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) membranes were developed via the esterification reaction of a cardanol-based epoxy resin with glutaric anhydride, succinic anhydride, and hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride. Nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry was used to assess the optimal curing time and temperature of the formulations, evidencing a process activation energy of ∼65-70 kJ mol-1. A rubbery plateau modulus of 0.65-0.78 MPa and a crosslinking density of 2 × 10-4 mol cm-3 were found through dynamic mechanical analysis. Based on these characteristics, such biobased membranes were tested for applicability as GPEs for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs), showing an excellent electrochemical stability toward potassium metal in the -0.2-5 V voltage range and suitable ionic conductivity (10-3 S cm-1) at room temperature. This study demonstrates the practical viability of these biobased materials as efficient GPEs for the fabrication of KIBs, paving the path to increased sustainability in the field of next-generation battery technologies.

Abstract
Soft carbon (SC) has become a promising anode for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) benefiting from its structural flexibility. However, the evolution of potassium storage behavior with the microstructure (the average size of the crystallites La and the average interlayer spacing a3 ) is still unclear, which hinders the understanding of the potassium storage mechanism. Herein, a series of soft carbon with different microstructures is prepared through pyrolysis of petroleum pitch. Based on the analysis of the relationship between electrochemical behavior and microstructure, an adsorption-insertion mechanism is proposed: the capacity in the voltage range of 0.45-1.1 V is originated from the adsorption of potassium ions on edge-defect sites whereas the capacity below 0.45 V is attributed to the insertion of potassium ions into interlayers. When La equals to 10.56 Å, SCs exhibit an adsorption-controlled mechanism. However, as La increases to 120.98 Å, the insertion process is dominant. With La increasing from 21.9 to 93.02 Å, SCs have two mixed behaviors. The initial insertion coefficients do not change until a3 decreases to 3.46 Å. These findings highlight the relation of potassium storage behavior with different microstructures and the adsorption-insertion mechanism can provide insights into the design of SC anodes for PIBs.

Abstract
Bismuth is a promising anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to its suitable redox potential, large theoretical capacity, and superior electronic conductivity. Herein, we report a Bi@C (Bi nanoparticles uniformly embedded in a carbon skeleton) composite anode which delivers a superior rate performance of 244.3 mA h g−1 at 10.0 A g−1 and a reversible capacity of 255.6 mA h g−1 after 200 cycles in an optimized ether-based electrolyte. The outstanding electrochemical performance results from its robust structural design with fast reaction kinetics, which are confirmed by both experimental characterization studies and first-principles calculations. The reversible potassium storage mechanism of the Bi@C composite was also investigated by in situ X-ray diffraction. In addition, the full PIB cell assembled with a Bi@C composite anode and nickel-based Prussian blue analogue cathode exhibits high discharge voltage (3.18 V), remarkable power density (>10 kW kg−1), and an excellent capacity retention of 87.8% after 100 cycles. The results demonstrate that the PIBs with Bi anodes are promising candidates for power-type energy storage devices. An ultrahigh power density (>10 kW kg−1) potassium-ion full cell was fabricated by using a designed Bi@C composite as the anode. This workproves that potassium-ion batteries are promising candidates for power-type large-scale energy storage devices.![]()
