Metal phosphates have potential as anode materials for alkali-ion batteries due to their stability, low voltage, and high capacity. However, there is limited research on their application in potassium-ion batteries, and the potassium storage mechanism is not well understood. In this study, a chromium phosphate@N-doped carbon composite is synthesized and shown to be a promising conversion-type anode material for potassium-ion batteries. The composite exhibits good capacity, rate capability, and stability, and experimental evidence suggests a conversion reaction occurs during the potassiation process.
Metal phosphates are attracting great attention as anode materials for alkali-ion batteries due to their chemical stability, low working voltage, and high theoretical capacity. However, there are few reports on the application of metal phosphate as potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) anode material, and the potassium storage mechanism remains mysterious. Herein, a core-shell chromium phosphate@N-doped carbon (denoted as CrPO4@NC) composite is newly synthesized and demonstrated as conversion-type anode material for PIBs. The N-doped carbon coating layer effectively relieves the mechanical strain and improves electrical conductivity during repetitive cycling. The formed P-C bonding between CrPO4 & nbsp;core and nitrogen-doped carbon shell can help to maintain structural integrity and accelerate charge transfer. As a consequence, the CrPO4@NC composite exhibits a decent capacity (304.6 mAh g(-1) at 50 mA g(-1)), good rate capability (135.1 mAh g(-1)& nbsp;at 500 mA g(-1)), and superior stability (133.2 mAh g(-1)& nbsp;at 200 mA g(-1)& nbsp;after 100 cycles). Particularly noteworthy, we also provide experimental evidence that a conversion reaction occurs at CrPO4@NC electrode with metallic Cr and K3PO4 & nbsp;formed during the potassiation process. This work illustrates that CrPO4 & nbsp;may be a kind of anode material for applications in energy storage systems.
