Detailed

【Research Background】
       Currently, sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al) and other ion batteries have received great attention because of their rich and low-cost raw material resources, and are expected to be used in large-scale energy storage systems. In these batteries, K/K+ has a low standard hydroxide reduction potential (-2.92 V vs. her) relative to sodium, magnesium, aluminum, etc., and is close to Li/Li+ (-3.04 V vs. her), making potassium ion batteries theoretically Can operate in a wider potential window, thus providing higher energy density.

【Achievement Introduction】
     Recently, a team of professor Wu Xinming from Xi‘an Technological University published a research paper titled Interstratification-assembled 2D black phosphorene and V2CTx MXene as superior anodes for boosting potassium-ion storage in the internationally renowned academic journal Journal of Materials Chemistry A. In this paper, black phosphorene is combined with V2C to prepare a negative electrode with excellent potassium storage capacity.

【Summary of this article】
       In summary, this paper uses the 2D high conductivity of V2CTx and the high capacity of BPE to design a BPE@V2CTx hybrid anode through interlayer assembly strategy to promote the storage of potassium ions. The hybrid anode has a significant synergy, achieving a higher reversible capacity of 593.6 mAh g-1 at the level of 0.1 A g-1, much higher than V2CTx (210 mAh g-1), and achieving a high reversible capacity after 500 cycles 570 mAh 0.1 A g-1 and good cycle stability (after 3000 cycles at a current density of 0.2/2.0 A g-1 with a specific capacity of 485/261 mAh g-1 to achieve 91%, 86% capacity retention rate).
