Recently, K-ion batteries (KIBs) have attracted attention for potential applications in next-generation energy storage devices principally on the account of their abundancy and lower cost. Herein, for the first time, we report an anatase TiO2-derived Magneli phase Ti6O11 as a novel anode material for KIBs. We incorporate pristine carbon nanotube (CNT) on the TiO2 host materials due to the low electronic conductivity of the host materials. TiO2 transformed to Magneli phase Ti6O11 after the first insertion/deinsertion of K ions. From the second cycle, Magneli phase Ti6O11/CNT composite showed reversible charge/discharge profiles with similar to 150 mA h g(-1) at 0.05 A g(-1). Ex situ X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed that the charge storage process of Magneli phase Ti6O11 proceeded via the conversion reaction during potassium ion insertion/deinsertion. The Magneli phase Ti6O11/CNT composite electrode showed long-term cycling life over 500 cycles at 200 mA g(-1), exhibiting a capacity retention of 76% and a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.9%. These salient results presented here provide a novel understanding of the K-ion storage mechanisms in the extensively investigated oxide-based material for Li-ion batteries and Na-ion batteries, shedding light on the development of promising electrode materials for next-generation batteries.
