A fluoroxalate cathode material for potassium-ion batteries with ultra-long cyclability
2020
Overview
Potassium-ion batteries are a compelling technology for large scale energy storage due to their low-cost and good rate performance. However, the development of potassium-ion batteries remains in its infancy, mainly hindered by the lack of suitable cathode materials. Here we show that a previously known frustrated magnet, KFeC

F, could serve as a stable cathode for potassium ion storage, delivering a discharge capacity of ~112 mAh g

at 0.2 A g

and 94% capacity retention after 2000 cycles. The unprecedented cycling stability is attributed to the rigid framework and the presence of three channels that allow for minimized volume fluctuation when Fe

, impressive rate performance and negligible capacity decay within 200 cycles. This work sheds light on the development of low-cost and high-performance K-based energy storage devices.
The abundance and low cost of potassium makes potassium batteries a promising technology for large scale energy storage. Here the authors apply a previously known frustrated magnet, KFeC
