This study is an in-depth exploration of the charge storage mechanisms of KCoF in 1 M NaSO mild aqueous electrolytes an array of / physicochemical/electrochemical methods, especially the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) technique, showing a combination of conversion, insertion/extraction and adsorption mechanisms. Specifically, during the first charge phase, Co(OH) is formed/oxidized into amorphous CoOOH and CoO, and then CoOOH undergoes partial proton extraction to yield CoO, which is simultaneously accompanied by the transformation of CoO into CoOOH and (hydrated) CoO. During the first discharge process, the partial insertion of H into (hydrated) CoO leads to the formation of CoOOH and CoO, with the conversion of CoO into CoOOH and both CoO and CoOOH undergoing further transformations into (hydrated) Co(OH) the insertion of H. This work offers valuable references for the development of aqueous energy storage.
