摘要
In recent years, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries(LIBs) have been extensively applied to portable electronics and light vehicles due to their noticeable advantages.[1, 2] However, the large-scale use of LIBs may bring about a shortage of lithium resources. This shortcoming has motivated us to study other types of batteries.[3] The recently results of the Ji group have shown that K ions can be reversibly intercalation/deintercalation in the graphite material and showed better electrochemical storage performance.[4] Here, a solid state method using polyvinylidene fluoride as a single-source reactant is described for the synthesis of few-layer F-doped graphene foam(FFGF) with an average thickness of 4 nm and high surface area(874 m~2g~(-1)), which as anode material for potassium ion batteries exhibited a high potassium storage capacity(more than 320 m Ah·g~(-1) at 50 m A·g~(-1)), good rate capability and excellent cycle performance even at a very high current density(165.9 m Ah·g~(-1) at 500 m A·g~(-1) for 200 cycles).[5] These indicate that the multiple synergistic effects of the F-modified, high surface areas and mesoporous membrane structures endow the excellent electrochemical performance. Furthermore, the insights obtained will be of benefit in the design of future anode materials for alkali metal ion batteries.
