Electrochemical Potassium Storage

Electrochemical potassium storage explores the principles, materials, and technological developments of a variety of battery technologies based on electrochemical potassium storage. It covers the principles of potassium-ion batteries (organic and aqueous electrolytes), potassium metal anode batteries, potassium-sulfur (selenium) batteries, and potassium-oxygen batteries, as well as the development of electrode materials and battery cells. Batteries using potassium ions as the charge carrier to store energy operate via different electrochemical mechanisms than lithium-based batteries and thus exhibit different performance strengths, potentially leading to diverse market applications. This is particularly important as we search for environmentally and economically sustainable alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries. This book presents the state-of-the-art development of potassium-based batteries and in-depth discussion on their various structure-to-performance relationships. Addresses the urgent need to develop sustainable energy storage technologies beyond lithiumDescribes the fundamental principles of a variety of potassium-based battery chemistriesProvides the structure-to-performance relationship of various potassium-based batteries
