▎ 摘 要
Antimony (Sb)-based nanocomposites have emerged as an attractive class of anode materials for potassium ion batteries as they exhibit large theoretical capacity and impressive working voltage. However, the tardy potas-sium ion diffusion characteristic, unstable Sb/electrolyte interphase, and huge volume variation pose a grand challenge that hinder the practical use of Sb-based anodes for potassium ion batteries. Herein, we develop a simple yet robust strategy to fabricate a three-dimensional N-doped carbon (N-C) porous microspheres and reduced graphene oxides (rGO) dual-encapsulated Sb hierarchical structures (denoted Sb@N-C/rGO), which are pursued for resolving the stubborn issues of Sb-based compounds for PIBs. As expected, such judiciously crafted Sb@N-C/rGO anode renders a set of intriguing electrochemical properties, representing a high reversible specific capacity of 586 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.2 A g-1 after 200 cycles and excellent long-cycle stability of 358 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. It is believed that the work can provide deep understanding and new insight to develop the alloying-type electrode materials for rechargeable batteries.
