Abstract
The development of high-performance organic electrodes for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) is attracting interest due to their sustainability and low costs. However, the electrolyte systems and moieties that generally proved to be successful in high-performance Li-ion batteries have found relatively little success in KIBs. Herein, two alkynyl-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) containing 1,3,5-tris(arylethynyl)benzene (TAEB) and dehydrobenzoannulene (DBA) units are utilized as bulk anode materials for KIBs in a localized high-concentration electrolyte. TAEB-COF provides a high capacity value of 254.0 mAh g-1 at ∼100% efficiency after 300 cycles, and DBA-COF 3 provides a capacity of 76.3 mAh g-1 with 98.7% efficiency after 300 cycles. DFT calculations suggest that the alkynyl units of TAEB-COF facilitate the binding of K-ions through both enthalpic and geometric driving forces, leading to high reversible capacities.
