Abstract | Exploration of advanced carbon anode material is the key to circumventing the sluggish kinetics and poor rate capability for potassium ion storage. Herein, a synergistic synthetic strategy of engineering both surface and structure is adopted to design N, S co-doped carbon nanotubes (NS-CNTs). The as-designed NS-CNTs exhibit unique features of defective carbon surface, hollow tubular channel, and enlarged interlayer space. These features significantly contribute to a large potassium storage capacity of 307 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 and a remarkable rate performance with a capacity of 151 mA h g−1 even at 5 A g−1. Furthermore, an excellent cyclability with 98% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 2 A g−1 is also achieved. Systematic analysis by in situ Raman spectroscopy and ex situ TEM demonstrates the structural stability and reversibility in the charge–discharge process. Although the kinetics studies reveal the capacitive-dominated process for potassium storage, density functional theory calculations provide evidence that N, S co-doping contributes to expanding the interlayer space to promote the K-ion insertion, improving the electronic conductivity, and providing ample defective sites to favor the K-ion adsorption. |
