What factors determine how quickly a battery can be charged? Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are investigating this and other questions using computer-aided simulations. .
General Motors (GM) recently finalized a significant battery material supply contract worth $19 billion with South Korea s LG Chem, marking a major milestone in the electric vehicle (EV) industry. .
High-performance batteries are required for a wide range of applications and demand is growing rapidly. This is why the research and development of electrochemical energy storage systems, includin .
The development of lithium-ion batteries for the integration of renewable energy generation and the widespread use of electric vehicles has been greatly hampered by the scarcity of Li-ions as a natural resource as well as the limitation of an energy density that almost reaches the threshold. Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), working on the same rocking-chair principle, have gained increasing attention as a “beyond-Li-ion” battery technology due to the reduced economic cost and the promising potential for large-scale energy storage. Pursuing suitable electrode materials with low cost, good conductivity, high capacity, and high chemical and structural stabilities is always at the heart of rechargeable battery studies. In this review, we comprehensively review five types of anode electrodes for PIBs, including K-metal, intercalation, conversion, alloying, and conversion-alloying in terms of materials synthesis, electrochemical characters, and functional mechanisms.
