Silicon oxide(SiOx,0＜x ≤ 2)has been recognized as a prominent anode material in lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity,suitable electrochemical potential,and earth abundance.However,it is intrinsically poor electronic conductivity and excessive volume expansion during potassiation/depotassiation process hinder its application in potassium-ion batteries.Herein,we reported a hierarchical porous C/SiOx potassium-ion batteries anode using lignite as raw material via a one-step carbonization and activation method.The amorphous C skeleton around SiOx particles can effectively buffer the volume expansion,and improve the ionic/electronic conductivity and structural integrity,achieving outstanding rate capability and cyclability.As expected,the obtained C/SiOx composite delivers a superb specific capacity of 370 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles as well as a highly reversible capacity of 208 mAh g-1 after 1200 cycles at 1.0 A g-1.Moreover,the potassium ion storage mechanism of C/SiOx electrodes was investigated by ex-situ X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy,revealing the formation of reversible products of K6.8Si45.3 and K4SiO4,accompanied by generation of irreversible K2O after the first cycle.This work sheds light on designing low-cost Si-based anode materials for high-performance potassium-ion batteries and beyond.
