Evolution of adsorption-insertion K+ storage behaviors in flower-like carbons with tunable heteroatom doping and graphitic structures

Wenrui Wei et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of tuning heteroatom doping and graphitic structure in carbon materials for achieving highly accessible graphitic structures in advanced potassium ion batteries. The research shows that the potassium storage mechanism in N,S-CNSs is described by an adsorption-insertion mechanism, where the highly disordered/pseudo-graphitic carbon structure contributes to a high-potential sloping region by adsorption and the graphitic carbon structure contributes to a low-potential plateau region by insertion. By tuning the adsorption and insertion mechanisms, N,S-CNS-1200 with a highly developed graphitic structure exhibits satisfactory reversible specific capacity and high capacity retention after 1000 cycles.
