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 batteries, potassium-sulfur (selenium) batteries, and potassium-oxygen batteries, as well as the development of the electrode materials of these batteries and the understanding of electrochemical cell operations. Batteries using potassium ions as the charge carrier to store energy operate via different electrochemical processes and have different features of materials electrochemistry compared to lithium-based batteries. Thus, battery technologies based on electrochemical potassium storage exhibit different performance strengths, potentially having diverse market applications. This is particularly important for the search for environmentally and economically sustainable alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries in a wide range of applications. This book presents the state-of-the-art development of potassium-based batteries and in-depth discussion on their structure-to-performance relationships.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
Dr Xu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at UCL. He received his PhD at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2011, with the Chu Yuet Wah Chinese Academy of Science Award for Outstanding Doctoral Student. He carried out postdoctoral research at Boston College (USA) and the University of Alberta (Canada), and then worked as a Senior Scientist at the Technical University of Ilmenau (Germany), before he joined UCL Chemistry in 2019. Dr Xüs group is interested in beyond-lithium energy storage technologies including Na/K/Ca-ion batteries and Na/K metal anode batteries, with a focus on structural defects of electrode materials and the associated (electro)chemical process of ion transport in the electrode materials and ion transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interface, as well as modification of current collectors and separators for stable metal electrochemical deposition.
