Abstract Potassium-ion batteries are an emerging energy storage technology that could be a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundance and low cost of potassium. Research on potassium-ion batteries has received considerable attention in recent years. With the progress that has been made, it is important yet challenging to discover electrode materials for potassium-ion batteries. Here, we report pyrrhotite Fe1−xS microcubes as a new anode material for this exciting energy storage technology. The anode delivers a reversible capacity of 418 mAh g−1 with an initial coulombic efficiency of ~70% at 50 mA g−1 and a great rate capability of 123 mAh g−1 at 6 A g−1 as well as good cyclability. Our analysis shows the structural stability of the anode after cycling and reveals surface-dominated K storage at high rates. These merits contribute to the obtained electrochemical performance. Our work may lead to a new class of anode materials based on sulfide chemistry for potassium storage and shed light on the development of new electrochemically active materials for ion storage in a wider range of energy applications.

ABSTRACTAn efficient microwave-assisted polyol (MP) approach is report to prepare SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for lithium ion batteries. The key factor to this MP method is to start with uniform graphene oxide (GO) suspension, in which a large amount of surface oxygenate groups ensures homogeneous distribution of the SnO2 nanoparticles onto the GO sheets under the microwave irradiation. The period for the microwave heating only takes 10 min. The obtained SnO2/graphene hybrid anode possesses a reversible capacity of 967 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C and a high Coulombic efficiency of 80.5% at the first cycle. The cycling performance and the rate capability of the hybrid anode are enhanced in comparison with that of the bare graphene anode. This improvement of electrochemical performance can be attributed to the formation of a 3-dimensional framework. Accordingly, this study provides an economical MP route for the fabrication of SnO2/graphene hybrid as an anode material for high-performance Li-ion batteries.

AbstractTwo-dimensional black phosphorus (2D BP), an emerging material, has aroused tremendous interest once discovered. This is due to the fact that it integrates unprecedented properties of other 2D materials, such as tunable bandgap structures, outstanding electrochemical properties, anisotropic mechanical, thermodynamic, and photoelectric properties, making it of great research value in many fields. The emergence of 2D BP has greatly promoted the development of electrochemical energy storage devices, especially lithium-ion batteries. However, in the application of 2D BP, there are still some problems to be solved urgently, such as the difficulty in the synthesis of large-scale high-quality phosphorene, poor environmental stability, and the volume expansion as electrode materials. Herein, according to the latest research progress of 2D BP in the field of energy storage, we systematically summarize and compare the preparation methods of phosphorene and discuss the basic structure and properties of BP, especially the environmental instability and passivation techniques. In particular, the practical application and challenges of 2D BP as anode material for lithium-ion batteries are analyzed in detail. Finally, some personal perspectives on the future development and challenges of BP are presented.

<p>Kendaraan listrik merupakan kendaraan yang digerakkan dengan motor listrik dan mendapat sumber daya listrik yang tersimpan dalam baterai. Keuntungan penggunaan kendaraan listrik dibandingkan dengan kendaraan konvesional antara lain, efisiensi konversi energi yang tinggi, mengurangi pemakaian bahan bakar minyak sehingga secara langsung dan mengurangi emisi gas buang ke atmosfir. Riset grup matertial maju dan energy storage fokus mengembangkan penelitian tentang produksi baterai dan aplikasinya. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mensosialisasikan hasil riset tentang baterai dan aplikasi kendaraan listrik sebagai salah satu cara transfer pengetahuan teknologi untuk pelajar Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK). Siswa SMK harus dibekali dengan pemahaman mengenai baterai lithium ion dan kendaraan listrik sehingga bisa meningkatkan kompetensi lulusan dan memiliki daya saing di pasar kerja. SMK Muhammadiyah 6 Karanganyar memiliki jurusan Teknik Audio Video, Teknik Komputer Jaringan, Teknik Mesin, Teknik Elektro dan Mekanik Otomotif sehingga kegiatan dan kerjasama ini akan sangat mendukung kegiatan pembelajarn. Kegiatan pengabdian ini merupakan tindak lanjut kerja sama magang siswa yang dilakukan di unit produksi baterai dibawah Pusat Unggulan Iptek (PUI) PT Teknologi Penyimpanan Energi Listrik (University Center of Excellence for Electrical Energy Storage Technology). Dengan terselenggaranya kegiatan pengabdian diharapkan mampu memberikan pengetahuan mengenai hasil riset kampus kepada siswa, sehingga dapat memberikan pemahaman mengenai konsep dasar kendaraan listrik dan menumbuhkan inovasi pada siswa untuk mengembangkan kendaraan listrik.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Edukasi , Baterai Ion Lithium, Kendaraan Listrik,</p>
