Highly Dispersed Cobalt Nanoparticles Embedded in Nitrogen-Doped Graphitized Carbon for Fast and Durable Potassium Storage
Highly Dispersed Cobalt Nanoparticles Embedded in Nitrogen?Doped Graphitized Carbon for Fast and Durable Potassium Storage
摘要
Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) have great potential for applications in large-scale energy storage devices. However, the larger radius of K+ leads to sluggish kinetics and inferior cycling performance, severely restricting its practical applicability. Herein, we propose a rational strategy involving a Prussian blue analogue-derived graphitized carbon anode with fast and durable potassium storage capability, which is constructed by encapsulating cobalt nanoparticles in nitrogen-doped graphitized carbon (Co-NC). Both experimental and theoretical results show that N-doping effectively promotes the uniform dispersion of cobalt nanoparticles in the carbon matrix through Co–N bonds. Moreover, the cobalt nanoparticles and strong Co–N bonds synergistically form a three-dimensional conductive network, increase the number of adsorption sites, and reduce the diffusion energy barrier, thereby facilitating the adsorp-tion and the diffusion kinetics. These multiple effects lead to enhanced reversible capacities of 305 and 208.6 mAh g?1 after 100 and 300 cycles at 0.05 and 0.1 A g?1, respectively, demonstrating the applicability of the Co-NC anode for KIBs.关键词
