Abstract:
Antimony (Sb)-based anode materials have recently aroused great attention in potassium-ion batteries (KIBs), because of their high theoretical capacities and suitable potassium inserting potentials. Nevertheless, because of large volumetric expansion and severe pulverization during potassiation/depotassiation, the performance of Sb-based anode materials is poor in KIBs. Herein, a composite nanosheet with bismuth-antimony alloy nanoparticles embedded in a porous carbon matrix (BiSb@C) is fabricated by a facile freeze-drying and pyrolysis method. The introduction of carbon and bismuth effectively suppress the stress/strain originated from the volume change during charge/discharge process. Excellent electrochemical performance is achieved as a KIB anode, which delivers a high reversible capacity of 320 mA h g(-1) after 600 cycles at 500 mA g(-1). In addition, full KIBs by coupling with Prussian Blue cathode deliver a high capacity of 396 mA h g(-1) and maintain 360 mA h g(-1) after 70 cycles. Importantly, the operando X-ray diffraction investigation reveals a reversible potassiation/depotassiation reaction mechanism of (Bi,Sb) <-> K(Bi,Sb) <-> K-3(Bi,Sb) for the BiSb@C composite. Our findings not only propose a reasonable design of high-performance alloy-based anodes in KIBs but also promote the practical use of KIBs in large-scale energy storage.
