제목 Potassium Polysulfide Catholyte and Metal-Free Anode for Advanced Potassium–Sulfur Batteries
초록 Potassium-ion batteries have attracted widespread interest as a low-cost, alternative energy storage medium to replace the widely used lithium-ion batteries because potassium has higher natural abundance the reserve of potassium is close to that of Na in the Earth’s crust and a lower standard redox potential than other metallic elements. K-S batteries offer low cost and high specific energy density. Previous work pioneered a K−S battery system operating at room temperature based on the conversion reaction S8 ⇆ K2S3. We propose a novel K−S cell consisting of a solution phase potassium polysulfide catholyte and a 3-dimensional freestanding carbon nanotube film electrode. In addition, instead of an explosive and highly reactive potassium metal electrode, a full cell consisting of an electrochemically potassium-impregnated hard carbon and the catholyte was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of a safe K−S battery system free of metallic potassium.
