Dual-ion batteries (DIBs) are electrochemical energy storage devices that operate by the simultaneous participation of two different ion species at the anode and the cathode and rely on the use of an electrolyte that can withstand the high operation potential of the cathode. Under such conditions at the cathode, issues associated with irreversible capacity loss and the formation of solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) at the surface of highly porous electrode materials are far less significant than at lower potentials, permitting the exploration of high surface area, permanently porous framework materials as effective charge storage media. This concept is investigated herein by employing zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC) as the cathode in a dual-ion battery based on a potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (KFSI) electrolyte. Anion (FSI-) insertion within the pore network during electrochemical cycling is confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, and the maximum charge capacity is found to be proportional to surface area and micropore volume by comparison to other microporous carbon materials. Fullcells based on ZTC as the cathode exhibit both high specific energy (up to 176 Wh kg-1 , 79.8 Wh L-1) and high specific power (up to 3945 W kg-1 , 1095 W L-1), stable cycling performance over hundreds of cycles, and reversibility within the potential range of 2.65-4.7 V vs. K/K + .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
