Abstract
The growing global energy demand necessitates the development of renewable energy solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. To efficiently utilize renewable yet intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind power, there is a critical need for large-scale energy storage systems (EES) with high electrochemical performance. While lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been successfully used for EES, the surging demand and price, coupled with limited supply of crucial metals like lithium and cobalt, raised concerns about future sustainability. In this context, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have emerged as promising alternatives to commercial LIBs. Leveraging the low cost of potassium resources, abundant natural reserves, and the similar chemical properties of lithium and potassium, PIBs exhibit excellent potassium ion transport kinetics in electrolytes. This review starts from the fundamental principles and structural regulation of PIBs, offering a comprehensive overview of their current research status. It covers cathode materials, anode materials, electrolytes, binders, and separators, combining insights from full battery performance, degradation mechanisms, in situ/ex situ characterization, and theoretical calculations. We anticipate that this review will inspire greater interest in the development of high-efficiency PIBs and pave the way for their future commercial applications.

Abstract
Layered transition metal oxides are extensively considered as appealing cathode candidates for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) due to their abundant raw materials and low cost, but their further implementations are limited by slow dynamics and impoverished structural stability. Herein, a layered composite having a P2 and P3 symbiotic structure is designed and synthesized to realize PIBs with large energy density and long-term cycling stability. The unique intergrowth of P2 and P3 phases in the obtained layered oxide is plainly characterized by X-ray diffraction refinement, high-angle annular dark field and annular bright field-scanning transmission electron microscopy at atomic resolution, and Fourier transformation images. The synergistic effect of the two phases of this layered P2/P3 composite is well demonstrated in K+ intercalation/extraction process. The as-prepared layered composite can present a large discharge capacity with the remarkable energy density of 321 Wh kg-1 and also manifest excellent capacity preservation after 600 cycles of K+ uptake/removal.

Abstract
The renewable energy industry demands rechargeable batteries that can be manufactured at low cost using abundant resources while offering high energy density, good safety, wide operating temperature windows, and long lifespans. Utilizing fluorine chemistry to redesign battery configurations/components is considered a critical strategy to fulfill these requirements due to the natural abundance, robust bond strength, and extraordinary electronegativity of fluorine and the high free energy of fluoride formation, which enables the fluorinated components with cost effectiveness, nonflammability, and intrinsic stability. In particular, fluorinated materials and electrode|electrolyte interphases have been demonstrated to significantly affect reaction reversibility/kinetics, safety, and temperature tolerance of rechargeable batteries. However, the underlining principles governing material design and the mechanistic insights of interphases at the atomic level have been largely overlooked. This review covers a wide range of topics from the exploration of fluorine-containing electrodes, fluorinated electrolyte constituents, and other fluorinated battery components for metal-ion shuttle batteries to constructing fluoride-ion batteries, dual-ion batteries, and other new chemistries. In doing so, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure-property interactions, the features of fluorinated interphases, and cutting-edge techniques for elucidating the role of fluorine chemistry in rechargeable batteries. Further, we present current challenges and promising strategies for employing fluorine chemistry, aiming to advance the electrochemical performance, wide temperature operation, and safety attributes of rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Layered Mn-based cathode (KxMnO2) has attracted wide attention for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) because of its high specific capacity and energy density. However, the structure and capacity of KxMnO2 cathode are constantly degraded during the cycling due to the strong Jahn-Teller effect of Mn3+ and huge ionic radius of K+. In this work, lithium ion and interlayer water were introduced into Mn layer and K layer in order to suppress the Jahn-Teller effect and expand interlayer spacing, respectively, thus obtaining new types of K0.4Mn1-xLixO2·0.33H2O cathode materials. The interlayer spacing of the K0.4MnO2 increased from 6.34 to 6.93 Å after the interlayer water insertion. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies demonstrated that proper lithium doping can effectively control the ratio of Mn3+/Mn4+ and inhibit the Jahn-Teller effect. In-situ X-ray diffraction exhibited that lithium doping can inhibit the irreversible phase transition and improve the structural stability of materials during cycling. As a result, the optimal K0.4Mn0.9Li0.1O2·0.33H2O not only delivered a higher capacity retention of 84.04 % compared to the value of 28.09 % for K0.4MnO2·0.33H2O, but also maintained a greatly enhanced rate capability. This study provides a new opportunity for designing layered manganese-based cathode materials with high performance for PIBs.

Abstract
Achieving fast and durable potassiation/depotassiation of anode materials for potassium ion batteries (PIB) still remains an elusive yet fascinating goal. Herein, we challenge the conventional wisdom in synthesizing the TiP2O7 superstructure and report a nanocarbon coating on TiP2O7 (TiP2O7/C) using layered MXene as a Ti source to realize an effective tuning in the TiO6 and PO4 building blocks for boosting the K+ diffusion kinetics in PIB. Experimental investigations coupled with systematic theoretical simulations indicate that the interface interaction between TiP2O7 and coated nanocarbon could induce internal adjustment in individual Ti-O bonding and relieve the local distortions of TiO6 octahedra, which endows the TiP2O7/C with favorable regulation in a K+ hopping manner and significantly reduces the K+ diffusion barrier via the diffusion propagation along PO4 blocks with dominant coordination between O/P and K+. Consequently, the TiP2O7/C anode could retain 230 mA h g-1 even after 2200 long-term cycles with an ultralow degradation rate of 0.005%.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have broad application prospects in the field of electric energy storage systems because of its abundant K reserves, and similar "rocking chair" operating principle as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Aiming to the large volume expansion and sluggish dynamic behavior of anode materials for storing large sized K-ion, bismuth telluride (Bi2 Te3 ) nanoplates hierarchically encapsulated by reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) are constructed as anodes for PIBs. The resultant Bi2 Te3 @rGO@NC architecture features robust chemical bond of Bi─O─C, tightly physicochemical confinement effect, typical conductor property, and enhanced K-ion adsorption ability, thereby producing superior electrochemical kinetics and outstanding morphological and structural stability. It is visually elucidated via high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) that conversion-alloying dual-mechanism plays a significant role in K-ion storage, allowing 12 K-ion transport per formular unit employing Bi as redox site. Thus, the high first reversible specific capacity of 322.70 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 , great rate capability and cyclic stability can be achieved for Bi2 Te3 @rGO@NC. This work lays the foundation for an in-depth understanding of conversion-alloying mechanism in potassium-ion storage.

Abstract
Potassium vanadium fluorophosphate (KVPO4F) is regarded as a promising cathode candidate for potassium-ion batteries due to its high working voltage and satisfactory theoretical capacity. However, the usage of electrochemically inactive binders and redundant current collectors typically results in inferior electrochemical performance and low energy density, thus implying the important role of rational electrode structure design. Herein, we have reported a scalable and cost-effective synthesis of a cellulose-derived KVPO4F self-supporting electrode, which features a special surface hydroxyl chemistry, three-dimensional porous and conductive framework, as well as super flexible and stable architecture. The cellulose not only serves as a flexible substrate, a pore-forming agent, and a versatile binder for KVPO4F/conductive carbon but also enhances the K-ion migration ability. Benefiting from the special hydroxyl chemistry-induced storage mechanism and electrode structural stability, the flexible freestanding KVPO4F cathode exhibits high-rate performance (53.0% capacity retention with current densities increased 50-fold, from 0.2 C to 10 C) and impressive cycling stability (capacity retention up to 74.9% can be achieved over 1,000 cycles at a rate of 5 C). Such electrode design and surface engineering strategies, along with a deeper understanding of potassium storage mechanisms, provide invaluable guidance for better electrode design to boost the performance of potassium-ion energy storage systems.

Abstract
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of 2D materials demonstrating promising properties, such as high capacities and cycling stabilities, making them strong candidates to replace graphitic anodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, certain TMDs, for instance, MoS2, undergo a phase transformation from 2H to 1T during intercalation that can affect the mobility of the intercalating ions, the anode voltage, and the reversible capacity. In contrast, select TMDs, for instance, NbS2 and VS2, resist this type of phase transformation during Li-ion intercalation. This manuscript uses density functional theory simulations to investigate the phase transformation of TMD heterostructures during Li-, Na-, and K-ion intercalation. The simulations suggest that while stacking MoS2 layers with NbS2 layers is unable to limit this 2H → 1T transformation in MoS2 during Li-ion intercalation, the interfaces effectively stabilize the 2H phase of MoS2 during Na- and K-ion intercalation. However, stacking MoS2 layers with VS2 is able to suppress the 2H → 1T transformation of MoS2 during the intercalation of Li, Na, and K-ions. The creation of TMD heterostructures by stacking MoS2 with layers of non-transforming TMDs also renders theoretical capacities and electrical conductivities that are higher than that of bulk MoS2.

Abstract
Layered transition-metal (TM) oxides have drawn ever-growing interest as positive electrode materials in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Nevertheless, the practical implementation of these positive electrode materials is seriously hampered by their inferior cyclic property and rate performance. Reported here is a self-templating strategy to prepare homogeneous P2-K0.6CoO2 (KCO) microcubes. Benefiting from the unusual microcube architecture, the interface between the electrolyte and the active material is considerably diminished. As a result, the KCO microcubes manifest boosted electrochemical properties for potassium storage including large reversible capacity (87.2 mAh g-1 under 20 mA g-1), superior rate performance, and ultralong cyclic steady (an improved capacity retention of 86.9% under 40 mA g-1 after 1000 cycles). More importantly, the fabrication approach can be effectively extended to prepare other layered TM oxide (P3-K0.5MnO2, P3-K0.5Mn0.8Fe0.2O2, P2-K0.6Co0.67Mn0.33O2, and P2-K0.6Co0.66Mn0.17Ni0.17O2) microcubes and nonlayered TM oxide (KFeO2) microcubes.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are regarded as one of the most ideally suited candidates for large-scale energy storage applications owning to their obvious advantages, that is, low cost, high safety, high ionic conductivity, abundant raw material resources, and eco-friendliness. Much effort has been devoted to the exploration of cathode materials design, cathode storage mechanisms, anode protection as well as failure mechanisms, while inadequate attentions are paid on the performance enhancement through modifying the electrolyte salts and additives. Herein, to fulfill a comprehensive aqueous ZIBs research database, a range of recently published electrolyte salts and additives research is reviewed and discussed. Furthermore, the remaining challenges and future directions of electrolytes in aqueous ZIBs are also suggested, which can provide insights to push ZIBs' commercialization.

Abstract
Antimony-based alloys have appealed to an ever-increasing interest for potassium ion storage due to their high theoretical capacity and safe voltage. However, sluggish kinetics and the large radius of K+ lead to limited rate performance and severe capacity fading. In this Letter, highly dispersed antimony-bismuth alloy nanoparticles confined in carbon fibers are fabricated through an electrospinning technology followed by heat treatment. The BiSb nanoparticles are uniformly confined into the carbon fibers, which facilitate rapid electron transport and inhibit the volume change during cycling owing to the synergistic effect of the BiSb alloy and carbon confinement engineering. Furthermore, the effect of a potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (KFSI) electrolyte with different concentrations has been investigated. Theoretical calculation demonstrates that the incorporation of Bi metal is favorable for potassium adsorption. The combination of delicate nanofiber morphology and electrolyte chemistry endows the fiber composite with an improved reversible capacity of 274.4 mAh g-1, promising rate capability, and cycling stability upon 500 cycles.

Abstract
Polyanion compounds offer a playground for designing prospective electrode active materials for sodium-ion storage due to their structural diversity and chemical variety. Here, by combining a NaVPO4F composition and KTiOPO4-type framework via a low-temperature (e.g., 190 °C) ion-exchange synthesis approach, we develop a high-capacity and high-voltage positive electrode active material. When tested in a coin cell configuration in combination with a Na metal negative electrode and a NaPF6-based non-aqueous electrolyte solution, this cathode active material enables a discharge capacity of 136 mAh g−1 at 14.3 mA g−1 with an average cell discharge voltage of about 4.0 V. Furthermore, a specific discharge capacity of 123 mAh g−1 at 5.7 A g−1 is also reported for the same cell configuration. Through ex situ and operando structural characterizations, we also demonstrate that the reversible Na-ion storage at the positive electrode occurs mostly via a solid-solution de/insertion mechanism. The development of high-capacity and high-voltage electrode materials can boost the performance of sodium-based batteries. Here, the authors report the synthesis of a polyanion positive electrode active material that enables high-capacity and high-voltage sodium battery performance.

Abstract
With high theoretical capacity and operating voltage, KVPO4F is a potential high energy density cathode material for potassium-ion batteries. However, its performance is usually limited by F loss, poor electronic conductivity, and unsteady electrode/electrolyte interface. Herein, a simple one-step sintering process is developed, where vanadium-oxalate-phosphite/phosphate frameworks and fluorinated polymer are used to synthesize carbon-coated KVPO4F nanoplates. It is found that the V-F-C bond generated by fluorinated-polymer-derived carbon at the interface of KVPO4F/C nanoplates diminishes the F loss, as well as enhances K-ions migration ability and the electronic conductivity of KVPO4F. The as-synthesized KVPO4F/C cathode delivers a reversible capacity of 106.5 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C, a high working voltage of 4.28 V, and a rate capability with capacity of 73.8 mAh g-1 at the ultrahigh current density of 100 C. In addition, a KVPO4F/C//soft carbon full cell exhibits a high energy density of 235.5 Wh kg-1.

Abstract
Development of energy storage systems is a topic of broad societal and economic relevance, and lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the most advanced electrochemical energy storage systems. However, concerns on the scarcity of lithium sources and consequently the expected price increase have driven the development of alternative energy storage systems beyond LIBs. In the search for sustainable and cost-effective technologies, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted considerable attention. Here, a comprehensive review of ongoing studies on electrode materials for SIBs and PIBs is provided in comparison to those for LIBs, which include layered oxides, polyanion compounds and Prussian blue analogues for positive electrode materials, and carbon-based and alloy materials for negative electrode materials. The importance of the crystal structure for electrode materials is discussed with an emphasis placed on intrinsic and dynamic structural properties and electrochemistry associated with alkali metal ions. The key challenges for electrode materials as well as the interface/interphase between the electrolyte and electrode materials, and the corresponding strategies are also examined. The discussion and insights presented in this review can serve as a guide regarding where future investigations of SIBs and PIBs will be directed.

Abstract
Titanium phosphorus oxides (TiPOs) are promising energy-conversion materials, but most are of tetravalent titanium (TiIV), with the trivalent TiIIIPOs less explored because of instability and obstacles in synthesis. In this study, we used a simple synthetic strategy and prepared three new TiIIIPOs with different phosphorus oxoanions: the phosphate Ca2Ti(HPO4)2(PO4)·H2O (1), the phosphite CaTi2(H2O)(HPO3)4·H2O (2), and the hypophosphite Ti(H2PO2)3 (3). Each possesses different structures in one, two, and three dimensions, yet they are related to one another because of their infinite chains. Compound 1 exhibits proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactivity in a solid state, losing one proton from its own HPO4 in oxidation to yield Ca2Ti(HPO4)(PO4)2·H2O (designated as 1O), while compound 2 also exhibits PCET reactivity in which the octahedral core [TiIII(H2O)]3+ gives off two protons to become a titanyl unit [TiIV═O]2+ under oxidation, yielding CaTi2O(HPO3)4·H2O (2O). Both 1O and 2O retain their original frameworks from before oxidation, but there are some changes in the hydrogen and Ti-O bonds that affect the IR absorption and powder X-ray diffraction patterns. Compound 3 represents the first titanium hypophosphite, and two polymorphs were discovered that show structures related to 1 and 2. This work demonstrates a simple strategy that is effective for preparing titanium(III) compounds in a pure phase; further, new findings in the pathways of solid-state PCET reactions promote a greater understanding of the self-sustaining oxidation behavior for TiIIIPO solid materials.

Abstract
The advancement of potassium ion batteries (PIBs) stimulated by the dearth of lithium resources is accelerating. Major progresses on the electrochemical properties are based on the optimization of electrode materials, electrolytes, and other components. More significantly, the prerequisites for optimizing these key compositions are in-depth and comprehensive exploration of electrochemical reaction processes, including the evolution of morphology and structure, phase transition, interface behaviors, and K+ movement, etc. As a result, the obtained K+ storage mechanism via analyzing aforementioned reaction processes sheds light on furthering practical application of PIBs. Typical electrochemical analysis methods are capable of obtaining physical and chemical characteristics. The advent of in situ electrochemical measurements enables dynamic observation and monitoring, thereby gaining extensive insights into the intricate mechanism of capacity degradation and interface kinetics. By coupling with these powerful electrochemical characterization techniques, inspiring works in PIBs will burgeon into wide realms of energy storage fields. In this review, some typical electroanalytical tests and in situ hyphenated measurements are described with the main concentration on how these techniques play a role in investigating the potassium storage mechanism for PIBs and achieving encouraging results.

Abstract
Most potassium-ion battery (PIB) cathode materials have deficient structural stability because of the huge radius of potassium ion, leading to inferior cycling performance. We report the controllable synthesis of a novel low-strain phosphate material K3 (VO)(HV2 O3 )(PO4 )2 (HPO4 ) (denoted KVP) nanorulers as an efficient cathode for PIBs. The as-synthesized KVP nanoruler cathode exhibits an initial reversible capacity of 80.6 mAh g-1 under 20 mA g-1 , with a large average working potential of 4.11 V. It also manifests an excellent rate property of 54.4 mAh g-1 under 5 A g-1 , with a high capacity preservation of 92.1 % over 2500 cycles. The outstanding potassium storage capability of KVP nanoruler cathode originates from a low-strain K+ uptake/removal mechanism, inherent semiconductor characteristic, and small K+ migration energy barrier. The high energy density and prolonged cyclic stability of KVP nanorulers//polyaniline-intercalated layered titanate full battery verifies the superiority of KVP nanoruler cathode in PIBs.

Abstract
With increasing demand for grid-scale energy storage, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have emerged as promising complements or alternatives to commercial lithium-ion batteries owing to the low cost, natural abundance of potassium resources, the low standard reduction potential of potassium, and fascinating K+ transport kinetics in the electrolyte. However, the low energy density and unstable cycle life of cathode materials hamper their practical application. Therefore, cathode materials with high capacities, high redox potentials, and good structural stability are required with the advancement toward next-generation PIBs. To this end, understanding the structure-dependent intercalation electrochemistry and recognizing the existing issues relating to cathode materials are indispensable prerequisites. This review summarizes the recent advances of PIB cathode materials, including metal hexacyanometalates, layered metal oxides, polyanionic frameworks, and organic compounds, with an emphasis on the structural advantages of the K+ intercalation reaction. Moreover, major current challenges with corresponding strategies for each category of cathode materials are highlighted. Finally, future research directions and perspectives are presented to accelerate the development of PIBs and facilitate commercial applications. It is believed that this review will provide practical guidance for researchers engaged in developing next-generation advanced PIB cathode materials.

Abstract
K-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising for large-scale electrical energy storage owing to the abundant resources and the electrochemical specificity of potassium. Among the positive electrode materials for KIBs, vanadium-based polyanionic materials are interesting because of their high working voltage and good structural stability which dictates the cycle life. In this study, a potassium vanadium oxide phosphate, K6(VO)2(V2O3)2(PO4)4(P2O7), has been investigated as a 4 V class positive electrode material for non-aqueous KIBs. The material is synthesized through pyrolysis of a single metal-organic molecular precursor, K2[(VOHPO4)2(C2O4)] at 500 °C in air. The material demonstrates a reversible extraction/insertion of 2.7 mol of potassium from/into the structure at a discharge voltage of ∼4.03 V vs. K. Operando and ex situ powder X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the material undergoes reversible K extraction/insertion during charge/discharge via a two-phase reaction mechanism. Despite the extraction/insertion of large potassium ions, the material demonstrates an insignificant volume change of ∼1.2% during charge/discharge resulting in excellent cycling stability without capacity degradation over 100 cycles in a highly concentrated electrolyte cell. Robustness of the polyanionic framework is proved from identical XRD patterns of the pristine and cycled electrodes (after 100 cycles).

Abstract
Due to the obvious advantage in potassium reserves, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are now receiving increasing research attention as an alternative energy storage system for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Unfortunately, the large size of K+ makes it a challenging task to identify suitable electrode materials, particularly cathode ones that determine the energy density of PIBs, capable of tolerating the serious structural deformation during the continuous intercalation/deintercalation of K+ . It is therefore of paramount importance that proper design principles of cathode materials be followed to ensure stable electrochemical performance if a practical application of PIBs is expected. Herein, the current knowledge on the structural engineering of cathode materials acquired during the battle against its performance degradation is summarized. The K+ storage behavior of different types of cathodes is discussed in detail and the structure-performance relationship of materials sensitive to their different lattice frameworks is highlighted. The key issues facing the future development of different categories of cathode materials are also highlighted and perspectives for potential approaches and strategies to promote the further development of PIBs are provided.

Abstract
To realize high-power performance, lithium-ion batteries require stable, environmentally benign, and economically viable noncarbonaceous anode materials capable of operating at high rates with low strain during charge-discharge. In this paper, we report the synthesis, crystal structure, and electrochemical properties of a new titanium-based member of the MPO4 phosphate series adopting the α-CrPO4 structure type. α-TiPO4 has been obtained by thermal decomposition of a novel hydrothermally prepared fluoride phosphate, NH4TiPO4F, at 600 °C under a hydrogen atmosphere. The crystal structure of α-TiPO4 is refined from powder X-ray diffraction data using a Rietveld method and verified by electron diffraction and high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy, whereas the chemical composition is confirmed by IR, energy-dispersive X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, and electron energy loss spectroscopies. Carbon-coated α-TiPO4/C demonstrates reversible electrochemical activity ascribed to the Ti3+/Ti2+ redox transition delivering 125 mAh g-1 specific capacity at C/10 in the 1.0-3.1 V versus Li+/Li potential range with an average potential of ∼1.5 V, exhibiting good rate capability and stable cycling with volume variation not exceeding 0.5%. Below 0.8 V, the material undergoes a conversion reaction, further revealing capacitive reversible electrochemical behavior with an average specific capacity of 270 mAh g-1 at 1C in the 0.7-2.9 V versus Li+/Li potential range. This work suggests a new synthesis route to metastable titanium-containing phosphates holding prospective to be used as negative electrode materials for metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Potassium manganese hexacyanoferrate (KMnHCF) can be used as a positive electrode for potassium-ion batteries because of its high energy density. The effect of particle size and [Fe(CN)6 ]n- vacancies on the electrochemical potassium insertion of KMnHCFs was examined through experimental data and theoretical calculations. When nearly stoichiometric KMnHCF was synthesized and tested, smaller particle sizes were found to be important for achieving superior electrochemical performance in terms of capacity and rate capability. However, even in the case of larger particles, introducing a suitable number of anion vacancies enabled KMnHCF to exhibit comparable electrode performance. Electrochemical tests and density functional theory calculations indicated that anion vacancies contribute to the enhancement of K+ ion diffusion, which realizes good electrochemical performance. Structural design, including crystal vacancies and particle size, is the key to their high performance as a positive electrode.

We highlight the crucial role of advanced diffraction, imaging and spectroscopic characterization techniques coupled with solid state chemistry approaches for improving functionality of battery materials opening emergent directions for further studies. The development of high performing metal-ion batteries require guidelines to build improved electrodes and electrolytes. Here, the authors review the current state-of-the-art in the rational design of battery materials by exploiting the interplay between composition, crystal structure and electrochemical properties.

Abstract
For successful development of novel rechargeable batteries, considerable efforts should be devoted to identifying suitable cathode materials that will ensure a proper level of energy output, structural stability, and affordable cost. Among various compounds explored as electrode materials, structural analogues of minerals–natural stable inorganic solids–occupy a prominent place. The largest number of varieties of phosphate minerals occurs in rare metal granite pegmatites, and many of which contain transition metals as essential components. Transition metal phosphates are promising candidates for exploration as cathode materials due to a perfect combination of easily scalable synthesis, moderate-to-high voltage operation, thermal/chemical stability, and environmental safety. However, impurities usually presented in natural objects, and often inappropriate sample morphologies, do not permit the use of minerals as battery electrode materials. Nevertheless, the minerals of different classes, especially phosphates, are considered as prototypes for developing novel materials for battery applications. The crystal chemical peculiarities of the phosphate representatives that are most relevant in this aspect and the electrochemical characteristics of their synthetic analogues are discussed here.
