An all-organic aqueous potassium dual-ion battery

Benefiting from the environmental friendliness of organic electrodes and the high security of aqueous electrolyte,an all-organic aqueous potassium dual-ion full battery(APDIB) was assembled with 21 M potassium bis(fluoroslufonyl)imide(KFSI) water-in-salt as the electrolyte.The APDIB could deliver a reversible capacity of around 50 mAh gat 200 mA g(based on the weight of total active materials),a long cycle stability over 900 cycles at 500 mA gand a high coulombic efficiency of 98.5%.The reaction mechanism of APDIB during the charge/discharge processes is verified:the FSI-could associate/disassociate with the nitrogen atom in the polytriphenylamine(PTPAn) cathode,while the K~+ could react with C=O bonds in the 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide(PTCDI) anode reversibly.Our work contributes toward the understanding the nature of water-into-salt electrolyte and successfully constructed all-organic APDIB.
