Key Points

The aim is to investigate the effectiveness of cyclic ether-based electrolytes for enhancing the performance of potassium metal batteries.
Utilized cyclic ether combinations in electrolyte formulations.
Assessed performance through plating and stripping tests of potassium metal.
Compared reversibility metrics and cycle stability against standard electrolytes.
Cyclic ether electrolytes demonstrated higher reversibility during potassium deposition.
Improvements observed in cycle stability over conventional electrolyte solutions.
Enhanced energy density reported without compromising battery safety.

Implication

Evaluates the performance of cyclic ether electrolytes in potassium metal batteries, suggesting improved energy storage efficiency.

Abstract

Potassium metal batteries (KMBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to the high abundance of potassium and its very low reduction potential. However, poor reversibility during plating and...
