Abstract
Potassium-based energy storage systems demonstrate promising potential for use in high-power applications, such as potassium-ion capacitors (PICs). In this study, we present the use of an electrolyte containing 1,1,2,2-tetraethoxyethane (TEG) in combination with propylene carbonate (PC) and potassium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (KFSI) as electrolyte for PICs. We have shown that using this electrolyte and applying a designed test protocol, it is possible to realize PICs with good capacity and cycling stability. The high performance is possible due to the high-rate capability of the graphite electrodes in the proposed electrolyte. Subsequent analysis of the electrodes reveals both structural changes of the graphite electrode and changes in the chemical composition of the AC and graphite electrode surfaces.
