Oxocarbon salts (M2 (CO)n ) prepared through one-pot proton exchange reactions with different metal ions (M=Li, Na, K) and frameworks (n=4, 5, 6) have been rationally designed and used as electrodes in rechargeable Li, Na, and K-ion batteries. The results show that M2 (CO)5 /M2 (CO)6 salts can insert two or four metal ions reversibly, while M2 (CO)4 shows less electrochemical activity. Especially, we discover that the K2 C6 O6 electrode enables ultrafast potassium-ion insertion/extraction with 212 mA h g(-1) at 0.2 C and 164 mA h g(-1) at 10 C. This behavior can be ascribed to the natural semiconductor property of K2 C6 O6 with a narrow band gap close to 0.9 eV, the high ionic conductivity of the K-ion electrolyte, and the facilitated K-ion diffusion process. Moreover, a first example of a K-ion battery with a rocking-chair reaction mechanism of K2 C6 O6 as cathode and K4 C6 O6 as anode is introduced, displaying an operation voltage of 1.1 V and an energy density of 35 Wh kg(-1) . This work provides an interesting strategy for constructing rapid K-ion batteries with renewable and abundant potassium materials.
通过与不同金属离子(M=Li、Na、K)和框架(n=4、5、6)的一锅质子交换反应制备的氧化羰盐(M2(CO)n)已被合理设计并用作可充电 Li、Na 和 K 离子电池的电极。结果表明,M2(CO)5/M2(CO)6 盐可以可逆地插入两个或四个金属离子,而 M2(CO)4 的电化学活性较低。特别是,我们发现 K2C6O6 电极在 0.2 C 时具有 212 mA h g-1 的超快钾离子嵌入/提取能力,在 10 C 时具有 164 mA h g-1 的超快钾离子嵌入/提取能力。这种行为可以归因于 K2C6O6 的固有半导体性质,其带隙接近 0.9 eV,K-离子电解质的高离子电导率以及促进的 K-离子扩散过程。此外,介绍了首例以 K2C6O6 为阴极和 K4C6O6 为阳极的摇椅式反应机制的 K 离子电池,其工作电压为 1.1 V,能量密度为 35 Wh kg-1。这项工作为构建具有可再生和丰富钾材料的快速 K 离子电池提供了一种有趣的策略。
