Although the insertion of potassium ions into graphite has been proven to be realistic, the electrochemical performance of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) is not yet satisfactory. Therefore, more effort is required to improve the specific capabilities and achieve a long cycling life. The mild carbonization process in molten salt (NaCl-KCl) is used to synthesize nitrogen/oxygen co-doped hierarchically porous carbon (NOPC) for PIBs by using cyanobacteria as the carbon source. This exhibits highly reversible capacities and ultra-long cycling stability, retaining a capacity of 266 mA h g(-1) at 50 mA g(-1) (100 cycles) and presents a capacity of 104.3 mA h g(-1) at 1000 mA g(-1) (1000 cycles). Kinetics analysis reveals that the potassium ion (K+) storage of NOPC is controlled by a capacitive process, which plays a crucial role in the excellent rate performance and superior reversible ability. The high proportion of capacitive behavior can be ascribed to the hierarchically porous structure and improved conductivity resulting from nitrogen and oxygen doping. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations theoretically validate the enhanced potassium storage effect of the as-obtained NOPC. More importantly, the route to NOPC from cyanobacteria in molten salt provides a green approach to the synthesis of porous carbon materials.
