Article Abstract
A porous KVPOF/reduced graphene oxide (KVPF/rGO) microgrid aerogel electrode is designed and fabricated using direct ink writing 3D printing for high-performance potassium-ion battery cathodes. This 3D-printed KVPF/rGO aerogel electrode, which integrates well-dispersed KVPOF microspheres in the reduced graphene oxide matrix, shows enhanced structural integrity and electrical conductivity, thereby facilitating efficient ion and electron transport. The KVPF/rGO electrode achieves a reversible discharge capacity of 99.0 mAh g at a current density of 50 mA g in the voltage range between 2.0 and 5.0 V. It retains 93.9% of its capacity after 100 cycles and delivers a discharge capacity of 72.6 mAh g at a high current density of 500 mA g, demonstrating good rate capability. The role of rGO in improving charge transfer and minimizing polarization is demonstrated. The flexibility of the 3D-printed electrodes is validated by fabricating soft-pack batteries, which maintain stable performance under mechanical stress, an essential requirement for wearable electronics. The results highlight the large potential of 3D printing technology to enhance the properties and flexibility of potassium-ion batteries and pave the way for future advancements in energy storage devices.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have emerged as an appealing, sustainable and cost-effective candidate for grid-scale energy storage due to abundant K resources and reversible K de/intercalation in graphite anodes (KC, 279 mAh g). However, their practical operation suffers from sluggish kinetics and severe capacity deterioration in traditional carbonate electrolytes. Herein, ethoxy (pentafluoro) cyclotriphosphazene (PFPN) and methyl (2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) carbonate (FEMC) are introduced as cosolvents to rejuvenate conventionally low-concentration (1 M) 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME)-based electrolytes.

Controlling the electrode-electrolyte interfacial behavior is crucial for achieving a high-quality solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and ensuring sustainable battery performance. Here, we propose a selective catalysis strategy to stabilize antimony atom-cluster (Sb) anode/electrolyte interface for robust potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Specifically, the electrode featuring Sb in porous carbon (Sb/PC) as "electrocatalyst" unduly catalyzes the reduction of the dimethyl ether-based electrolyte, resulting in loose SEI layer and rapid capacity decay.

With the rapid development of portable electronic devices and electric vehicles, metal-ion batteries, especially lithium/sodium/potassium-ion batteries (LIBs/SIBs/PIBs), have become a research hotspot because of their high energy density and cycle stability. The battery system primarily comprises three key components: negative electrode material, positive electrode material, electrolyte, and diaphragm. The selection of the negative electrode material will directly impact the battery's energy density.

N-doped porous carbon materials are promising potassium-ion battery anodes for overcoming the depressing rate performance and poor cycling stability issues associated with the oversized radius of K-ion. However, the relatively low initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) as a result of porous structure and doped heteroatoms may limit the future application of potassium-ion batteries. Herein, a novel N-doped porous graphite-like carbon armored with dense amorphous shell is synthesized through a Trojan horse strategy by etching and doping the carbon matrix from inside out using oxidized coal tar pitch coated CN as precursor.
