Abstract
The large size of K+ ions (1.38 Å) sets a challenge in achieving high kinetics and long lifespan of potassium storage devices. Here, a fibrous ZrO2 membrane is utilized as a reactive template to construct a dual-carbon K-ion capacitor. Unlike graphite, ZrO2-catalyzed graphitic carbon presents a relatively disordered layer arrangement with an expanded interlayer spacing of 0.378 nm to accommodate K+ insertion/extraction. Pyridine-derived nitrogen sites can locally store K-ions without disrupting the formation of stage-1 graphite intercalation compounds (GICs). Consequently, N-doped hollow graphitic carbon fiber achieves a K+-storage capacity (primarily below 1 V), which is 1.5 time that of commercial graphite. Potassium-ion hybrid capacitors are assembled using the hollow carbon fiber electrodes and the ZrO2 nanofiber membrane as the separator. The capacitor exhibits a high power of 40 000 W kg-1, full charge in 8.5 s, 93% capacity retention after 5000 cycles at 2 A g-1, and a low self-discharge rate of 8.6 mV h-1. The scalability and high performance of the lattice-expanded tubular carbon electrodes underscores may advance the practical potassium-ion capacitors.

Abstract
The commercial application of lithium-sulfur batteries is primarily impeded by the constant shuttling of soluble polysulfides and sluggish redox kinetics. Nowadays, the discovery of the heterojunction, which combines materials with diverse properties, offers a new perspective for overcoming these obstacles. Herein, a functional coating separator for the lithium-sulfur battery is designed using a MnO2-ZnS p-n heterojunction with a spontaneous built-in electric field (BIEF). The MnO2 nanowire provides suitable adsorption capacity for polysulfides, while the abundant reactive sites brought by ZnS ensure efficient conversion. Moreover, the BIEF significantly facilitates the migration of electrons and polysulfides at the MnO2-ZnS interface, enabling a smooth "adsorption-diffusion-conversion" reaction mechanism. By serving as both the adsorption module and catalytic sites, this BIEF allows batteries utilizing separators modified with MnO2-ZnS heterojunction to achieve an impressive initial capacity of 1511.1 mAh g-1 at 0.1C and maintain a capacity decay rate of merely 0.048% per cycle at 2.0C after 1000 cycles. Even when increasing sulfur loading to 9.4 mg cm-2 in lean electrolyte (5.4 μL mg-1), the battery still exhibits an ultrahigh areal capacity of 6.0 mAh cm-2 after 100 cycles.

Abstract
Carbon has been widely used as an electrode material in commercial metal-ion batteries (MIBs) because of its desirable electrical, mechanical, and physical properties. Still, traditional carbon electrodes suffer from limited mechanical stability and electrochemical performance in MIBs. Drawing inspiration from biological species, the carbon allotropes, such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, can be engineered into mechanically robust, highly conductive frameworks with enhanced ion storage and transport capabilities for MIBs. Here, we present an assortment of bio-inspired carbon electrodes that have enhanced the cycling stability, capacity retention, and overall performance of MIBs. In addition, mimicking the structure and functionality of biological systems has led to the development of flexible MIBs whose performance does not degrade even when stretched, bent, or twisted. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a useful guide in identifying such bio-inspired carbon frameworks because it can simulate and analyze potential failure scenarios, such as stress build-up or structural collapse in MIBs. This review highlights through several examples that there is much scope for improving carbon-based electrode materials through bio-inspired designs for practical high-performance MIBs.

Abstract
MnNb2 O6 anode has attracted much attention owing to its unique properties for holding Li ions. Unluckily, its application as a Li-ion battery anode is restricted by low capacity because of the inferior electronic conductivity and limited electron transfer. Previous studies suggest that structure and component optimization could improve its reversible capacity. This improvement is always companied by capacity increments, however, the reasons have rarely been identified. Herein, MnNb2 O6 -C nanofibers (NFs) with MnNb2 O6 nanoparticles (~15 nm) confined in carbon NFs, and the counterpart MnNb2 O6 NFs consisting of larger nanoparticles (40-100 nm) are prepared by electrospinning for clarifying this phenomenon. The electrochemical evaluations indicate that the capacity achieved by the MnNb2 O6 NF electrode presents an activation process and a degradation in subsequence. Meanwhile, the MnNb2 O6 -C NF electrode delivers high reversible capacity and ultra-stable cycling performance. Further analysis based on electrochemical behaviors and microstructure changes reveals that the partial structure rearrangement should be in charge of the capacity increment, mainly including pseudocapacitance increment. This work suggests that diminishing the dimensions of MnNb2 O6 nanoparticles and further confining them in a matrix could increase the pseudocapacitance-dominated capacity, providing a novel way to improve the reversible capacity of MnNb2 O6 and other intercalation reaction anodes.

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
Stable potassium metal batteries (PMBs) are promising candidates for electrical energy storage due to their ability to reversibly store electrical energy at a low cost. However, dendritic growth and large volume changes hinder their practical application. Here, referring to the morphology and structure of a virus, a bionic virus-like-carbon microsphere (BVC) was designed as the anode host for a PMB. A BVC with a three-dimensional structure can not only control the electric field, which can suppress dendrite formation, but can also provide a larger space to accommodate the volume change during the cycle progress. The designed potassium (K) metal anode exhibits excellent cycle life and stability (during 1800 h of repeated plating/stripping of K at a current density of 0.1 mA cm-2, K-BVC can realize a very stable K metal anode with low voltage hysteresis). Stable cyclability and improved rate capability can be realized in a full cell using Prussian blue over 400 cycles. This research provides a new idea for the development of stable K metal anodes and may pave the way for the practical application of next-generation metal batteries.

Abstract
Graphite with abundant reserves has attracted enormous research interest as an anode of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) owing to its high plateau capacity of 279 mAh g-1 at ≈0.2 V in conventional carbonate electrolytes. Unfortunately, it suffers from fast capacity decay during K+ storage. Herein, an ultrastable graphite-potassium anode is developed through binder chemistry. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is utilized as a water-soluble binder to generate a uniform and robust KF-rich SEI film on the graphite surface, which can not only inhibit the electrolyte decomposition, but also withstand large volume expansion during K+ -insertion. Compared to the PVDF as binder, PVA-based graphite anode can operate for over 2000 cycles (running time of 406 days at C/3) with 97% capacity retention in KPF6 -based electrolytes. The initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) of graphite anode is as high as 81.6% using PVA as the binder, higher than that of PVDF (40.1%). Benefiting from the strong adhesion ability of PVA, a graphite||fluorophosphate K-ion full battery is further built through 3D printing, which achieves a record-high areal energy of 8.9 mWh cm-2 at a total mass loading of 38 mg cm-2 . These results demonstrate the important role of binder in developing high-performance PIBs.

Abstract
The relative natural abundance of potassium and potentially high energy density has established potassium-ion batteries as a promising technology for future large-scale global energy storage. However, the anodes' low capacity and high discharge platform lead to low energy density, which impedes their rapid development. Herein, we present a possible co-activation mechanism between bismuth (Bi) and tin (Sn) that enhances K-ion storage in battery anodes. The co-activated Bi-Sn anode delivered a high capacity of 634 mAh g-1, with a discharge plateau as low as 0.35 V, and operated continuously for 500 cycles at a current density of 50 mA g-1, with a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.2%. This possible co-activation strategy for high potassium storage may be extended to other Na/Zn/Ca/Mg/Al ion battery technologies, thus providing insights into how to improve their energy storage ability.

Abstract
Antimony is more than an emerging pollutant in water but a scare resource. In this study, we report an adsorbent with the record capacity so far from the balanced view of Sb(III) and Sb(V). The composite adsorbent was fabricated by encapsulating hollow Fe3O4 nanosphere with the EDTA grafted chitosan, and it has superhigh adsorption capacity of for 657.1 mg/g for Sb(III) and 467.3 mg/g for Sb(V), respectively. The mechanism study reveals that the adsorption of Sb initializes from the Fe3O4, propagates along the chitosan with hydrogen bond, and terminates at the inner sphere complex with the EDTA moiety in the adsorbent. In view of the ultra-high adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, the recovered adsorbent that contains abundant (>36.4%) highly dispersed antimony nanoparticles (600-FCSE-Sb) is applied to Li-ion battery anode after reduction. This article provides a new idea for connecting water treatment and electric energy storage.

Abstract
Carbonaceous materials are promising anodes for practical potassium-ion batteries, but fail to meet the requirements for durability and high capacities at low potentials. Herein, we constructed a durable carbon anode for high-energy-density K-ion full cells by a preferential pyrolysis strategy. Utilizing S and N volatilization from a π-π stacked supermolecule, the preferential pyrolysis process introduces low-potential active sites of sp2 hybridized carbon and carbon vacancies, endowing a low-potential "vacancy-adsorption/intercalation" mechanism. The as-prepared carbon anode exhibits a high capacity of 384.2 mAh g-1 (90 % capacity locates below 1 V vs. K/K+ ), which contributes to a high energy density of 163 Wh kg-1 of K-ion full battery. Moreover, abundant vacancies of carbon alleviate volume variation, boosting the cycling stability over 14 000 cycles (8400 h). Our work provides a new synthesis approach for durable carbon anodes of K-ion full cells with high energy densities.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have become one of the promising candidates for electrochemical energy storage that can provide low-cost and high-performance advantages. The poor cyclability and rate capability of PIBs are due to the intensive structural change of electrode materials during battery operation. Carbon-based materials as anodes have been successfully commercialized in lithium- and sodium-ion batteries but is still struggling in potassium-ion battery field. This work conducts structural engineering strategy to induce anionic defects within the carbon structures to boost the kinetics of PIBs anodes. The carbon framework provides a strong and stable structure to accommodate the volume variation of materials during cycling, and the further phosphorus doping modification is shown to enhance the rate capability. This is found due to the change of the pore size distribution, electronic structures, and hence charge storage mechanism. The optimized electrode in this work shows a high capacity of 175 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 and the enhancement of rate performance as the PIB anode (60% capacity retention with the current density increase of 50 times). This work, therefore provides a rational design for guiding future research on carbon-based anodes for PIBs.

Abstract
The central goal of high-performance potassium ion storage is to control the function of the anode material via rational structural design. Herein, N- and S-doped hollow carbon spheres with outer-short-range-order and inner-disorder structures are constructed to achieve highly efficient and ultra-stable potassium ion storage using a low-temperature molten salt system. The ultrathin carbon walls and uniform mesoporous as well as unique heterostructure synergistically realize significant potassium storage performance via facilitating rapid diffusion of potassium ions and alleviating substantial volume expansion. Furthermore, as the anode of a potassium ion battery, the as-prepared MSTC electrode demonstrates a state-of-the-art cycling capability of 221.3 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 after 20,000 cycles. The assembled potassium ion hybrid capacitor device demonstrates a high energy of 157 Wh kg-1 at 956 W kg-1 and excellent reversibility at a current density of 5.0 A g-1 after 20,000 cycles with 82.7% capacity retention. Accordingly, our work provides new ideas for designing advanced carbon anode materials and understanding the charge storage mechanism in potassium ion battery, as well as constructing high energy-power density potassium-ion hybrid capacitors (PIHCs).

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of electrode materials is largely dependent on the structural and chemical evolutions during the charge-discharge processes. Hence, revealing ion storage chemistry could enlighten mechanistic understanding and offer guidance for rational design for energy storage materials. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of potassium (K)-ion storage in the promising bimetal oxide materials by in situ magnetometry. We focus on a single-phased hollow FeTiO3 (SPH-FTO) hexagonal prism synthesized through a complexing-reagent assisted approach and find that the K-ion storage in this compound occurs predominantly with an intercalation mechanism and fractionally a conversion mechanism. We also demonstrate a K-ion hybrid capacitor assembled with the prepared SPH-FTO hexagonal prism anode and activated carbon cathode, delivering a high energy density and high power density as well as extraordinary cycling stability. This new understanding is used to showcase the inherently high K-ion storage properties from the earth-abundant FeTiO3.

Abstract
Fully aromatic conjugated covalent organic frameworks (FAC-COFs) with excellent physicochemical stability have been emerging as active semiconductors for diverse potential applications. Developing efficient synthesis methods for fabricating FAC-COFs will significantly facilitate the exploration over their material and photonic/electronic functionalities. Herein, a facile solvent-free strategy is developed for the synthesis of 2D phthalocyanine-based FAC-COFs (FAC-Pc-COFs). Cyclopolymerization of benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']bis[1,4]benzodioxin-2,3,9,10-tetracarbonitrile (BBTC) and quinoxalino[2',3':9,10]phenanthro[4,5-abc]phenazine-6,7,15,16-tetracarbonitrile (QPPTC) in ZnCl2 leads to the fast formation and isolation of BB-FAC-Pc-COF and QPP-FAC-Pc-COF, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy analysis reveal their crystalline nature with sql topology and AA stacking configuration. Thermogravimetric analysis and immersion experiment indicate their excellent stability. The conductivity test demonstrates their high conductivity of 0.93-1.94 × 10-4 S cm-1 owing to the fully π-conjugated electronic structural nature. In particular, the as-prepared FAC-Pc-COFs show high-performance K+ storage in potassium-ion batteries due to their excellent conductivity, highly ordered and robust structure, and N/O-rich framework nature. Impressively, QPP-FAC-Pc-COF shows a large reversible capacity of 424 mA h g-1 after 100 cycles at 50 mA g-1 and a capacity retention of nearly 100% at 2000 mA g-1 for over 10 000 cycles.

Abstract
Studies have found that oxygen-rich-containing functional groups in carbon-based materials can be used as active sites for the storage performance of K+, but the basic storage mechanism is still unclear. Herein, we construct and optimize 3D honeycomb-like carbon grafted with plentiful COOH/C = O functional groups (OFGC) as anodes for potassium ion batteries. The OFGC electrode with steady structure and rich functional groups can effectively contribute to the capacity enhancement and the formation of stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, achieving a high reversible capacity of 230 mAh g-1 at 3000 mA g-1 after 10,000 cycles (almost no capacity decay) and an ultra-long cycle time over 18 months at 100 mA g-1. The study results revealed the reversible storage mechanism between K+ and COOH/C = O functional groups by forming C-O-K compounds. Meanwhile, the in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy proved the highly reversible and rapid de/intercalation kinetics of K+ in the OFGC electrode, and the growth process of SEI films. In particular, the full cells assembled by Prussian blue cathode exhibit a high energy density of 113 Wh kg-1 after 800 cycles (calculated by the total mass of anode and cathode), and get the light-emitting diodes lamp and ear thermometer running.

Abstract
Zn anode is confronted with serious Zn dendrite growth and water-induced parasitic reactions, which severely hinders the rapid development and practical application of aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs). Herein, inspired by sodium hyaluronate (SH) biomolecules in living organisms featured with the functions of water retention, ion-transport regulation, and film-formation, the SH working as a dynamic and self-adaptive "mask" is proposed to stabilize Zn anode. Benefiting from the abundant functional groups with high hydrophilicity and zincophilicity, SH molecule can constrain active water molecules on the Zn-electrolyte interface and participate in Zn2+ solvation structure to suppress parasitic reactions. Furthermore, the dynamical adsorption of SH with high-density negative charge on the Zn surface could serve as Zn2+ reservoirs to guide uniform Zn deposition. Consequently, stable Zn plating and an ultrahigh cumulative plating capacity (CPC) of 4.8 Ah cm-2 are achieved even at 20 mA cm-2 (20 mAh cm-2 ) in a Zn||Zn symmetric battery, reaching a record level in AZMBs. In addition, the Zn||β-MnO2 full battery exhibits a substantially improved cycle stability. This work presents a route to realize a highly reversible and stable Zn metal anode by learning from nature.

Abstract
Bioderived molecules have been identified as viable anodes for organic potassium-ion batteries (OPIBs) due to the abundance of the necessary natural resources, their high capacity, and their sustainability. However, the high solubility and the inherent nonconductivity cause serious capacity decay and large voltage hysteresis. Here, the biomass molecule juglone was cross-linked with a carbon nanotube network, coupling and cooperating with sodium alginate binder (J@CNT-SA), and was proposed to inhibit small molecule dissolution via weak intermolecular interactions. The synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking is proven for its outstanding reversible high capacities (262 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), and a remarkable long life span with capacity retention of 77% over 5000 cycles. Further in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed to reveal the electrochemical mechanism. The feasibility of juglone as an anode for PIBs paves the way for other natural organic small molecules to be investigated as potential energy storage materials.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have been lauded as the next-generation energy storage systems on account of their high voltage capabilities and low costs and the high abundance of potassium resources. However, the practical utility of PIBs has been heavily encumbered by severe K metal dendrite formation, safety issues, and insufficient electrochemical performance during operations─indeed critical issues that underpin the need for functional electrolytes with high thermal stability, robust solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI)-forming capabilities, and high electrochemical performance. In a bid to establish a knowledge framework for harnessing high rate capabilities and long cycle life from graphite negative electrodes, this study presents the physical properties and electrochemical behavior of a high K+ concentration inorganic ionic liquid (IL) electrolyte, K[FSA]-Cs[FSA] (FSA- = bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide) (54:46 in mol), at an intermediate temperature of 70 °C. This IL electrolyte demonstrates an ionic conductivity of 2.54 mS cm-1 and a wide electrochemical window of 5.82 V. Charge-discharge tests performed on a graphite negative electrode manifest a high discharge capacity of 278 mAh g-1 (0.5 C) at 70 °C, a high rate capability (106 mAh g-1 at 100 C), and a long cyclability (98.7% after 450 cycles). Stable interfacial properties observed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy during cycling are attributed to the formation of sulfide-rich all-inorganic SEI, which was examined through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The performance of the IL is collated with that of an N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium-based organic IL to provide insight into the synergism between the highly concentrated K+ electrolyte at intermediate temperatures and the all-inorganic SEI during electrochemical operations of the graphite negative electrode.

Abstract
SnS2-based materials have attracted considerable attention in energy storage and conversion owing to their high lithium activity and theoretical capacity. However, the practical application is severely limited by the low coulombic efficiency and short cycle life due to irreversible side reactions, low conductivity, and serious pulverization in the discharge/charge process. In this study, sheet-like stacking SnS2/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) heterostructures were developed using a facile solvothermal method. It was found that the composites between SnS2 nanoplates and rGO nanosheets are closely coupled through van der Waals interactions, providing efficient electron/ion paths to ensure high electrical conductivity and sufficient buffer space to alleviate volume expansion. Therefore, the SnS2/rGO heterostructure anode can obtain a high capacity of 840 mA h g-1 after 120 cycles at a current density of 200 mA g-1 and maintain a capacity of 450 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1000 mA g-1. In situ X-ray diffraction tests showed that SnS2/rGO undergoes typical initial intercalation, conversion, and subsequent alloying reactions during the first discharge, and most of the reactions are dealloying/alloying in the subsequent cycles. The galvanostatic intermittent titration technique showed that the diffusion of lithium ions in the SnS2/rGO heterostructures is faster in the intercalation and conversion reactions than in the alloying reactions. These observations help to clarify the reaction mechanism and ion diffusion behavior in the SnS2 anode materials, thus providing valuable insights for improving the energy efficiency of lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) has garnered considerable attention as an alternative anodes of next-generation high-performance batteries owing to its prominent theoretical specific capacity. However, the commercialization of Li metal anodes (LMAs) is significantly compromised by non-uniform Li deposition and inferior electrolyte-anode interfaces, particularly at high currents and capacities. Herein, a hierarchical three-dimentional structure with CoSe2 -nanoparticle-anchored nitrogen-doped carbon nanoflake arrays is developed on a carbon fiber cloth (CoSe2 -NC@CFC) to regulate the Li nucleation/plating process and stabilize the electrolyte-anode interface. Owing to the enhanced lithiophilicity endowed by CoSe2 -NC, in situ-formed Li2 Se and Co nanoparticles during initial Li nucleation, and large void space, CoSe2 -NC@CFC can induce homogeneous Li nucleation/plating, optimize the solid electrolyte interface, and mitigate volume change. Consequently, the CoSe2 -NC@CFC can accommodate Li with a high areal capacity of up to 40 mAh cm-2 . Moreover, the Li/CoSe2 -NC@CFC anodes possess outstanding cycling stability and lifespan in symmetric cells, particularly under ultrahigh currents and capacities (1600 h at 10 mA cm-2 /10 mAh cm-2 and 5 mA cm-2 /20 mAh cm-2 ). The Li/CoSe2 -NC@CFC//LiFePO4 full cell delivers impressive long-term performance and favorable flexibility. The developed CoSe2 -NC@CFC provides insights into the development of advanced Li hosts for flexible and stable LMAs.

Abstract
Graphdiyne (GDY) has been considered as an appealing anode candidate for K-ion storage since its triangular pore channel, alkyne-rich structure, and large interlayer spacing would endow it with abundant active sites and ideal diffusion paths for K-ions. Nevertheless, the low surface area and disordered structure of bulk GDY typically lead to unsatisfied K storage performance. Herein, we have designed a GDY/graphene/GDY (GDY/Gr/GDY) sandwiched architecture affording a high surface area and fine quality throughout a van der Waals epitaxy strategy. As tested in a half-cell configuration, the GDY/Gr/GDY electrode exhibits better capacity output, rate capability, and cyclic stability as compared to the bare GDY counterpart. In situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy/Raman spectroscopy/transmission electron microscopy are further applied to probe the K-ion storage feature and disclose the favorable reversibility of GDY/Gr/GDY electrode during repeated potassiation/depotassiation. A full-cell device comprising a GDY/Gr/GDY anode and a potassium Prussian blue cathode enables a high cycling stability, demonstrative of the promising potential of the GDY/Gr/GDY anode for K-ion batteries.

Abstract
Potassium ion hybrid capacitors (KICs) have drawn tremendous attention for large-scale energy storage applications because of their high energy and power densities and the abundance of potassium sources. However, achieving KICs with high capacity and long lifespan remains challenging because the large size of potassium ions causes sluggish kinetics and fast structural pulverization of electrodes. Here, we report a composite anode of VO2-V2O5 nanoheterostructures captured by a 3D N-doped carbon network (VO2-V2O5/NC) that exhibits a reversible capacity of 252 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 over 1600 cycles and a rate performance with 108 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1. Quantitative kinetics analyses demonstrate that such great rate capability and cyclability are enabled by the capacitive-dominated potassium storage mechanism in the interfacial engineered VO2-V2O5 nanoheterostructures. The further fabricated full KIC cell consisting of a VO2-V2O5/NC anode and an active carbon cathode delivers a high operating voltage window of 4.0 V and energy and power densities up to 154 Wh kg-1 and 10 000 W kg-1, respectively, surpassing most state-of-the-art KICs.

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
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to their potential advantages such as low cost and high energy density. However, the large radius of K+ and the low potassium storage capacity of some electrode materials limit their development. Antimony (Sb)-based materials are considered to be promising anode materials for PIBs in view of their high K storage capacity and low potassiation potential. Nonetheless, the huge volume variation caused by potassiation/depotassiation often leads to their failure. Previous works have proved that carbon coating and nanostructure design are important means to alleviate the volume effect. Herein, the carbon-coating technology and nanostructure design were combined to prepare a Sb-based nanomaterial with Sb/Sb2S3 hybrid nanorod fragments confined in a carbon hollow tube (Sb/Sb2S3@CHT). Such a nanostructure is beneficial to alleviate the volume change of the Sb/Sb2S3 hybrids while facilitating the kinetics of the electrochemical reaction. As a consequence, the Sb/Sb2S3@CHT anode electrode exhibits high rate performance and outstanding cycle stability characterized by retaining a high specific capacity of 400.9 mA h g-1 after cycling for 200 cycles at 200 mA g-1.

Abstract
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are a main focus worldwide for their potential use in large-scale energy storage due to their abundant resources, environmental friendliness, and high safety. However, the cathode materials of ZIBs are limited, requiring a stable host structure and fast Zn2+ channel diffusion. Here, we develop a strategy for the intercalation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to facilitate Zn2+ intercalation and to suppress the dissolution of vanadium in V2O5. In particular, PEG-V2O5 shows a high capacity of 430 mA h g-1 at a current density of 0.1 A g-1 as well as excellent 100 mA h g-1 specific capacity after 5000 cycles, with a high current density of 10.0 A g-1. A reversible capacity of 81 mA h g-1 can even be achieved with a low temperature of -20 °C at a current density of 2.0 A g-1 after 3500 cycles. The superior electrochemical performance comes from the intercalation of PEG molecules, which can improve kinetic transport and structural stability during the cycling process. The Zn2+ storage mechanism, which provides essential guidelines for the development of high-performance ZIBs, can be found through various ex situ characterization technologies and density functional density calculations.

Abstract
Alloying-type anode materials are regarded as promising alternatives beyond intercalation-type carbonaceous materials for sodium storage owing to the high specific capacities. The rapid capacity decay arising from the huge volume change during Na+-ion insertion/extraction, however, impedes the practical application. Herein, we report an ultrafine antimony embedded in a porous carbon nanocomposite (Sb@PC) synthesized via facile in situ substitution of the Cu nanoparticles in a metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived octahedron carbon framework for sodium storage. The Sb@PC composite displays an appropriate redox potential (0.5-0.8 V vs Na/Na+) and excellent specific capacities of 634.6, 474.5, and 451.9 mAh g-1 at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 A g-1 after 200, 500, and 250 cycles, respectively. Such superior sodium storage performance is primarily ascribed to the MOF-derived three-dimensional porous carbon framework and ultrafine Sb nanoparticles, which not only provides a penetrating network for rapid transfer of charge carriers but also alleviates the agglomeration and volume expansion of Sb during cycling. Ex situ X-ray diffraction and in situ Raman analysis clearly reveal a five-stage reaction mechanism during sodiation and desodiation and demonstrate the excellent reversibility of Sb@PC for sodium storage. Furthermore, post-mortem analysis reveals that the robust structural integrity of Sb@PC can withstand continuous Na+-ion insertion/extraction. This work may provide insight into the effective design of high-capacity alloying-type anode materials for advanced secondary batteries.

Abstract
Functionalized carbon nanomaterials are potential candidates for use as anode materials in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). The inevitable defect sites in the architectures significantly affect the physicochemical properties of the carbon nanomaterials, thus defect engineering has recently become a vital research area for carbon-based electrodes. However, one of the major issues holding back its further development is the lack of a complete understanding of the effects accounting for the potassium (K) storage of different carbon defects, which have remained elusive. Owing to pressing research demands, the construction strategies, adsorption difficulties, and structure-activity relationships of the carbon defect-involved reaction centers for the K adsorption are systematically summarized using first principles calculations. Carbon defects affect the ability to trap K by affecting the geometry, charge distribution, and conductive behavior of the carbon surface. The results show that carbon doping with pyridinic-N, pyrrolic-N, and P defect sites tend to act as trapping K sites because of electron-deficient sites. However, graphite-N and sulfur doping are less capable of trapping K. In addition, it has been proved using calculations that the defects can inhibit the growth of the K dendrite. Finally, using the molten salt method, we prepared the undoped and nitrogen-doped carbon materials for comparison, verifying the results of the calculation.

Abstract
Metal anodes based on a plating/stripping electrochemistry such as metallic Li, Na, K, Zn, Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al are recognized as promising anode materials for constructing next-generation high-energy-density rechargeable metal batteries owing to their low electrochemical potential, high theoretical specific capacity, superior electronic conductivity, etc. However, inherent issues such as high chemical reactivity, severe growth of dendrites, huge volume changes, and unstable interface largely impede their practical application. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and their derivatives as emerging multifunctional materials have already well addressed the inherent issues of metal anodes in the past several years due to their abundant metallophilic functional groups, special inner channels, and controllable structures. COFs and their derivatives can solve the issues of metal anodes by interfacial modification, homogenizing ion flux, acting as nucleation seeds, reducing the corrosion of metal anodes, and so on. Nevertheless, related reviews are still absent. Here we present a detailed review of multifunctional COFs and their derivatives in metal anodes for rechargeable metal batteries. Meanwhile, some outlooks and opinions are put forward. We believe the review can catch the eyes of relevant researchers and supply some inspiration for future research.

Abstract
Rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries (LOBs) have attracted increasing attention due to their high energy density but highly rely on the development of efficient oxygen catalysts for reversible Li2O2 deposition/decomposition. Herein, highly porous carbon nanocubes with a specific surface area up to 1600 m2 g-1 are synthesized and utilized to tightly anchor Ru nanoparticles for using as the oxygen-cathode catalyst in LOBs, achieving a low charge/discharge potential gap of only 0.75 V, a high total discharge capacity of 17,632 mA h g-1, and a superb cycling performance of 550 cycles at 1000 mA g-1. Comprehensive ex situ and operando characterizations unravel that the outstanding LOB performance is ascribed to the highly porous catalyst structure embedding rich active sites that synergistically function in reducing overpotentials, suppressing parasitic reactions, accommodating reaction products, and promoting mass and charge transportation.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides are regarded as promising anode materials for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) because of their high theoretical capacities. However, due to the large atomic radius of K+, the structural damage caused by the huge volume expansion upon potassiation is much more severe than that of their lithium counterparts. In this research, a stress-dispersed structure with Co3Se4 nanocrystallites orderly anchored on graphene sheets is achieved through a two-step hydrothermal treatment to alleviate the structural deterioration. The ability to reduce the contact stress by the well-dispersed Co3Se4 nanocrystallites during K+ intercalation, together with the highly conductive graphene matrix, provides a more reliable and efficient anode architecture than its two agminated counterparts. Given these advantages, the optimized electrode delivers excellent cycling stability (301.8 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1), as well as an outstanding rate capacity (203.8 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1). Further in situ and ex situ characterizations and density functional theory calculations elucidate the potassium storage mechanism of Co3Se4 during the conversion reaction and reveal the fast electrochemical kinetics of the rationally designed electrode. This work provides a practical approach for constructing stable metal-selenide anodes with long cycle life and high-rate performance for PIBs.

Abstract
Transition-metal sulfides have been extensively studied as anode materials for use in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their multi-electron reactions, high rate performance, and abundant available resources. However, the practical capacities of metal sulfides remain low due to conductivity issues, volume expansion, and the use of traditional carbonate electrolytes. To overcome these drawbacks, ether electrolytes can be combined with nanoparticle-based metal sulfide anodes. Herein, a nanoparticle-based nickel monosulfide (NiS) anode with high rate performance in the ether electrolytes of SIBs/PIBs was prepared by heating a mixture of nickel nanoparticles with sulfur. In SIBs, the NiS anode capacity was 286 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 100 A g-1, and excellent cycling performance was observed at 25 A g-1 with a capacity of 468 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles. Moreover, a full-cell containing a Na3V2(PO4) cathode demonstrated a rate performance of 65 mA h g-1 at a high current density of 100 A g-1. In PIBs, the NiS electrode capacity was 642 and 37 mA h g-1 at 0.5 and 100 A g-1, respectively. Hence, the synthesised NiS nanoparticles possessed excellent storage capability, regardless of the alkali-ion type, suggesting their potential use as robust NiS anodes for advanced battery systems.

Abstract
The intrinsic physical and chemical properties of materials are largely governed by the bonding and electronic structures of their fundamental building units. The majority of cathode materials contain octahedral TMO6 (TM = transition metal), which dominates the redox chemistry during electrochemical operation. As a less symmetric form of TMO6 , the trigonal prismatic geometry is not a traditionally favored coordination configuration as it tends to lose the crystal-field stabilization energy and thus generate large ligand repulsion. Herein, a K-ion battery cathode design, K2 Fe(C2 O4 )2 , is shown, where the TMO6 trigonal prism (TP) is not only electrochemically active but stable enough to allow for excellent cycling stability. Detailed synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements reveal the evolution of localized fine structure, evidencing the electrochemical activity, reversibility, and stability of the TP motif. The findings are expected to expand the toolbox for the rational design of electrode materials by taking advantage of TP as a structural gene.

Abstract
Graphite is one of the most attractive anode materials due to its low cost, environmental friendliness, and high energy density for potassium ion batteries (PIBs). However, the severe capacity fade of graphite anodes in traditional KPF6-based electrolyte hinders its practical applications. Here, we demonstrate that the cycling stability of graphite anodes can be significantly improved by regulating the coordination of solvent molecules with KPF6 via a high-temperature precycling step. In addition to the solvents being electrochemically stable against reduction, a stable and uniform organic-rich passivation layer also forms on the graphite anodes after high-temperature precycling. Consequently, the PIBs with graphite anodes could operate for more than 500 cycles at 50 mA g-1 with a reversible capacity of about 220 mAh g-1 and an average Coulombic efficiency greater than 99%. Furthermore, full batteries based on Prussian blue cathodes and high-temperature precycled graphite anodes also exhibit excellent performance. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to explore the solvation chemistry of the electrolytes used in this study.

Abstract
The rational design and synthesis of capable cathode materials with low cost that can exhibit good electrochemical performance are key to the development of rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs). In this article, we have developed low-cost expanded graphite as typical cathode materials for high-performance RABs in pouch cells. Remarkably, the commercial expanded graphite can show high-rate performance, long-term cyclic life, and high energy density (64 Wh kg-1 based on a whole pouch cell). In particular, it delivers a high capacity of 111 mAh g-1 at a current density of 2 A g-1 after 300 cycles and 61.1 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 50 A g-1 after 10 000 cycles. The high-rate performance is derived from the rapid kinetic enhancement caused by the chemisorption-involved-intercalation pseudocapacitance effect. Further, a series of facile electrochemical means are used to confirm the intercalation (1.5-2.4 V)-adsorption mechanism (0.5-1.5 V) of expanded graphite. This work can provide significant support for further understanding the Al-storage behaviors of graphite materials in RABs.

Abstract
O3-type NaCrO2 is attracting increasing attention as potential cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Bare NaCrO2 is usually synthesized by a solid-state reaction and suffers from serious capacity decay and poor power capability. Modification by coating is an effective method to improve the electrochemical properties, but it inevitably reduces the energy density. To avoid the decrease of energy density and optimize the electrochemical performance, a specific route, i.e., a freeze-drying-assisted sol-gel method, has been adopted to synthesize bare NaCrO2 in this work. Three-phase coexistence during charging is confirmed for the first time, which contributes to delaying the disappearance of the O3 phase and then improving the structural reversibility, resulting in superior cycle stability (∼50% capacity retention after 3000 cycles at 5C). Meanwhile, as-synthesized NaCrO2 delivers an outstanding rate capability (82.1 mAh g-1 at 50C), which is attributed to the fast Na+ diffusivity and high electronic conductivity proved by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is worth mentioning that NaCrO2 also exhibits excellent electrochemical properties when used as a cathode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). This work provides new perspectives on the structural evolution of NaCrO2, and the results are expected to contribute to the development of SIBs and PIBs.
