Abstract
The wide application of potassium ion batteries (PIBs) urgently requires the development of ideal cathode materials with low cost, good reaction kinetics and structural stability. Here, a titanium-doped K0.5Mn0.92Ti0.08O2 cathode material for potassium ion batteries is developed by doping modification strategy using a high-temperature solid-state method. The structure and performance structure-activity relationship of binary K0.5Mn1-xTixO2 cathode materials doped with non-electrochemically active element Ti4+ are studied experimentally and theoretically. With the introduction of Ti4+, when the doping amount is <10 mol%, the doped solid solution is hexagonal P3 phase, and the transition metal layer spacing increases. The non-equivalent doping affects the relative content of Mn3+/Mn4+, smoothes the redox peak in the electrochemical process, reduces the doping formation energy, and improves the structural stability. The ex-situ XRD fine structure study of the electrochemical process shows that the structural change of the material during the discharge process is suppressed after doping. The best Ti-doped cathode material K0.5Mn0.92Ti0.08O2 has an initial discharge capacity of 126.9 mAh·g−1 at a current density of 20 mA·g−1, and the capacity retention rate is 53.7 % after 100 cycles. This work provides a feasible strategy for the construction of stable electrode materials for PIBs.
