Abstract
Retaining satisfactory electrochemical performances under high-mass electrode-active-matter loadings is important for energy storage. However, the performance decreases with increasing mass loadings due to a reduction in the ion/electron transport. In this study, a novel mesoporous amorphous bulk (MAB) material strategy is proposed. Co-based hydroxide KCo1.3 (OH)3.6 is directly electro-deposited on the Ni foam for cathode. Comprehensive structural characterizations confirm the mesoporous, amorphous, and bulk features for KCo1.3 (OH)3.6 . The fabricated whole MAB-KCo1.3 (OH)3.6 @Ni electrode exhibits an ultrahigh full volumetric capacity (123.7 mAh cm-3 ) with high KCo1.3 (OH)3.6 mass loading (11.7mg cm-2 ) and excellent cycling stability. Along with the MAB-KCo1.3 (OH)3.6 , the mesoporous amorphous features enable fast ion diffusion and provide sufficient electroactive sites for redox reactions. In addition, the bulk nature not only facilitates the electron mobility but also guarantees structural and chemical stability. Therefore, the proposed MAB strategy and explored KCo1.3 (OH)3.6 material demonstrate considerable prospects for designing electrode materials and practical applications.
