Overview
Cost-effective electrical energy storage systems (ESSs) play a crucial role in enabling the utilization of clean renewable energy from sources such as solar light and wind, as well as facilitating the development of smart grid technologies. The market for ESSs is vast, yet remains largely untapped, which has sparked growing interest within the academic and industrial community. In recent years, given the paramount consideration of cost, potassium (K)-based energy storage technologies are rapidly becoming one of the most cutting-edge solutions for large-scale low-cost stationary ESSs. K-based energy storage technologies offer a potential cost advantage over lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because K-based raw materials are more abundant and uniformly distributed throughout all continents compared to Li-based ones. Moreover, both anode and cathode current collectors can be aluminum-based, further resulting in cost reductions. Furthermore, compared with the cases of lithium and sodium, K-based energy storage technologies also possess the potential electrochemical advantages, including smaller Stokes’ radius, higher ion conductivity in electrolytes, lower redox potential and potentially higher output voltage, etc. However, stable full-cell K-based batteries still suffer from many challenges, such as rapid capacity fading, low Coulomb efficiency (CE), short cycling life, etc. To address these challenges, it is significant and valuable to devote diverse research efforts into understanding fundamental science and optimizing engineering aspects in different-type K-based batteries.
------------
Therefore, this special issue provides a platform to encourage researchers freely exchanging and discussing the challenges, solutions, strategies, progress, development, and future of K-based energy storage technologies from various aspects and standpoints. We welcome a variety of types of manuscripts, including full-length articles, communications, reviews, perspectives, futures, features, highlights, etc.
