dc.description.abstractPotassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising energy storage devices owing to their low cost, environmental-friendly, and excellent K+ diffusion properties as a consequence of the small Stoke's radius. The evaluation of cathode materials for KIBs, which are perhaps the most favorable substitutes to lithium-ion batteries, is of exceptional importance. Manganese dioxide (alfa-MnO2) is distinguished by its tunnel structures and plenty of electroactive sites, which can host cations without causing fundamental structural breakdown. As a result of the satisfactory redox kinetics and diffusion pathways of K+ in the structure, alfa-MnO2 nanorods cathode prepared through hydrothermal method, reversibly stores K+ at a fast rate with a high capacity and stability. It has a first discharge capacity of 142 mAh/g at C/20, excellent rate execution up to 5C, and a long cycling performance with a demonstration of moderate capacity retention up to 100 cycles. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT) simulations confirm that the K+ intercalation/deintercalation occurs through 0.46 K movement between MnIV/MnIII redox pairs. First-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict a diffusion barrier of 0.31 eV for K+ through the 1D tunnel of alfa-MnO2 electrode, which is low enough to promote faster electrochemical kinetics. The nanorod structure of alfa-MnO2 facilitates electron conductive connection and provides a strong electrode–electrolyte interface for the cathode, resulting in a very consistent and prevalent execution cathode material for KIBs.es
