电极材料中的异质结在储能装置的循环过程中提供了多种改进,例如音量变化缓冲,加速离子/电子转移,和更好的电极结构完整性,然而,获得具有纳米级域的最佳异质结构在受限材料中仍然具有挑战性。引入了一种新颖的原位电化学方法,以Cu3PSe4为原料开发出可逆的CuSe/PSep-n异质结(CPS-h),靶向钾离子储存的最大稳定性。CPS-h的形成是热力学有利的,其特点是优越的可逆性,最小化扩散屏障,和增强的转换后K+交互。在CPS-h内,本征电场和P-Se键的协同作用增强了电极的稳定性,有效地对抗硒穿梭现象。CuSe和PSe之间的特定取向导致35°晶格失配,在界面处产生大的空间,促进K离子高效迁移。Mott-Schottky分析验证了CPS-h的一致可逆性,强调其电化学可靠性。值得注意的是,CPS-h在10,000个半电池周期内表现出可忽略的0.005%的容量减少,并且在全电池和混合电容器中通过2,000和4,000个周期保持稳定。分别。这项研究强调了电化学动力学在制定高度稳定的p-n异质结中的关键作用,代表了钾离子电池(PIB)电极工程的显着进步。
Heterojunctions in electrode materials offer diverse improvements during the cycling process of energy storage devices, such as volume change buffering, accelerated ion/electron transfer, and better electrode structure integrity, however, obtaining optimal heterostructures with nanoscale domains remains challenging within constrained materials. A novel in situ electrochemical method is introduced to develop a reversible CuSe/PSe p-n heterojunction (CPS-h) from Cu3PSe4 as starting material, targeting maximum stability in potassium ion storage. The CPS-h formation is thermodynamically favorable, characterized by its superior reversibility, minimized diffusion barriers, and enhanced conversion post K+ interaction. Within CPS-h, the synergy of the intrinsic electric field and P-Se bonds enhance electrode stability, effectively countering the Se shuttling phenomenon. The specific orientation between CuSe and PSe leads to a 35° lattice mismatch generates large space at the interface, promoting efficient K ion migration. The Mott-Schottky analysis validates the consistent reversibility of CPS-h, underlining its electrochemical reliability. Notably, CPS-h demonstrates a negligible 0.005% capacity reduction over 10,000 half-cell cycles and remains stable through 2,000 and 4,000 cycles in full cells and hybrid capacitors, respectively. This study emphasizes the pivotal role of electrochemical dynamics in formulating highly stable p-n heterojunctions, representing a significant advancement in potassium-ion battery (PIB) electrode engineering.
