Recent Progress and Perspective in Carbon-Based Anode Materials for Potassium-Ion Batteries

Abstract The ever-growing demand for large-scale energy storage systems requires novel battery systems with low-cost and sustainable properties. Owing to earth-abundance and cost effectiveness, the development of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) has attracted intensive attention recently. This review not only summarizes the current research on carbon-based materials and their electrochemical performance, but also attempts to provide an overall possible potassium storage mechanism. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are discussed to demonstrate the development direction of PIBs.
