Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage technology and relates to a porous aromatic framework containing multiple redox active sites for use as a cathode material in potassium-ion batteries. The donor-acceptor structure can promote charge transfer, thereby accelerating reaction kinetics and improving the specific capacity of potassium-ion batteries. Background Technology
[0002] High-energy-density lithium-ion batteries are currently the leading electrochemical energy storage technology, but the uneven distribution and rapid depletion of lithium resources have raised concerns about their sustainability and cost. Furthermore, with the increasing demand for various applications such as portable electronics, electric vehicles, and large-scale energy storage devices, rechargeable battery technology with renewable resources and high energy density has become an urgent need.
[0003] In this respect, due to the high natural abundance of potassium (1.5%, lithium 0.0017%) and low K+, + Potassium-ion batteries, with their potential of approximately 1000 K / 2000 kJ / k, have attracted increasing research interest. Furthermore, due to their smaller Stokes radius and lower solvation energy, potassium-ion batteries are better adapted to varying operating temperatures and can achieve rapid kinetics at low temperatures. However, K / 2000 kJ / k is a significant factor. + With a larger diameter Lithium ions are ) and relatively heavy mass. This large-sized K + Repeated insertion / extraction of inorganic electrode materials leads to significant volume changes and slow electrode kinetics. In contrast, organic electrode materials have been widely used in various rechargeable metal-ion batteries (lithium, zinc, aluminum-ion batteries, etc.) in recent years due to their flexible structural designability, high level of functionality, and environmental friendliness. Built-in groups in organic molecules such as C=N, C=O, and N=N can serve as reactive sites for metal ion storage. Considering the problem of easy solubility of small organic molecule electrodes in organic electrolytes, immobilizing redox active groups in porous two-dimensional or three-dimensional (2D or 3D) frameworks has been extensively explored and proven to be an effective strategy for obtaining more reliable electrodes.
[0004] Porous aromatic frameworks (PAFs), as an emerging porous material, exhibit a wealth of excellent properties, such as lightweight, customizable pore structures, and tunable framework structures. Composed of abundant aromatic units, their modular structure and high structural stability make them potential applications in storage, sensing, and catalysis. When used as electrode materials, PAFs designed using a donor-acceptor approach can promote charge transfer, accelerate reaction kinetics, and thus improve capacity performance. Donor structural units mainly include phenothiazines, phenazines, triphenylamines, thiophenes, pyrene, and tetrathiofulvalenes. Acceptor structural units mainly include triazines, hexaazanaphthalenes, pyrene-tetrones, anthraquinones, acid anhydrides, phthalocyanines, porphyrins, and benzothiazoles. Summary of the Invention
