Highly concentrated electrolyte solutions for 4 V class potassium-ion batteries

Stable cycling of a 4 V-class potassium-ion battery is demonstrated with a highly concentrated potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl) amide 1,2-dimethoxyethane solution as an electrolyte. Not only graphite and K2Mn[ Fe(CN) 6] half cells but also graphite// K2Mn[ Fe(CN) 6] full cells filled with the electrolyte exhibit higher coulombic efficiency and better cyclability than those of KPF6/ carbonate ester solutions.
