The large volume expansion and sluggish dynamic behavior are the key bottleneck to suppress the development of conversion-alloying dual mechanism anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Herein, SbS nanorods encapsulated by reduced graphene oxide and nitrogen-doped carbon (SbS@rGO@NC) are constructed as anodes for PIBs. The synergistic effect of dual physical protection and robust C-Sb chemical bonding boosts superior electrochemical kinetics and great electrode stability. Thus, SbS@rGO@NC exhibits a high initial charge capacity of 505.6 mAh·g at 50 mA·g and a great cycle stability with the lifetime over 200 cycles at 200 mA·g. XRD, XPS, and TEM characterizations confirm that the electrode undergoes a multielectron transfer process (SbS↔ Sb + KS ↔ KSb + KSb), where K-ion insert into/extract from the material via dual mechanisms of conversion and alloying. This work sheds a light on the construction of high-performance anode materials and the understanding of K-ion storage mechanism.

Binders are crucial for maintaining the mechanical stability of the electrodes. However, traditional binders fail to adequately buffer the volume expansion of ZnSiO anode, causing electrode contact failure and considerable capacity loss during cycling. In this study, we propose a simple and effective solution to address these challenges through a combined strategy of hollow structure design and the introduction of an aqueous lithium poly(acrylic acid) (LiPAA) binder.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have broad application prospects in the field of electric energy storage systems because of its abundant K reserves, and similar "rocking chair" operating principle as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Aiming to the large volume expansion and sluggish dynamic behavior of anode materials for storing large sized K-ion, bismuth telluride (Bi Te ) nanoplates hierarchically encapsulated by reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) are constructed as anodes for PIBs. The resultant Bi Te @rGO@NC architecture features robust chemical bond of Bi─O─C, tightly physicochemical confinement effect, typical conductor property, and enhanced K-ion adsorption ability, thereby producing superior electrochemical kinetics and outstanding morphological and structural stability.

Metal oxides are considered as prospective dual-functional anode candidates for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) and hybrid capacitors (PIHCs) because of their abundance and high theoretic gravimetric capacity; however, due to the inherent insulating property of wide band gaps and deficient ion-transport kinetics, metal oxide anodes exhibit poor K electrochemical performance. In this work, we report crystal facet and architecture engineering of metal oxides to achieve significantly enhanced K storage performance. A bismuth antimonate (BiSbO) nanonetwork with an architecture of perpendicularly crossed single crystal nanorods of majorly exposed (001) planes are synthesized CTAB-mediated growth.
