Abstract

Abstract: As promising anode candidates for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), antimony sulfide (Sb₂S₃) possesses high specific capacity but suffers from massive volume expansion and sluggish kinetics due to the large K⁺ insertion, resulting in inferior cycling and rate performance. To address these challenges, a yolk-shell structured Sb₂S₃ confined in N, S co-doped hollow carbon nanorod (YS-Sb₂S₃@NSC) working as a viable anode for PIBs is proposed. As directly verified by in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the buffer space between the Sb₂S₃ core and thin carbon shell can effectively accommodate the large expansion stress of Sb₂S₃ without cracking the shell and the carbon shell can accelerate electron transport and K⁺ diffusion, which plays a significant role in reinforcing the structural stability and facilitating charge transfer. As a result, the YS-Sb₂S₃@NSC electrode delivers a high reversible K⁺ storage capacity of 594.58 mA h g^-1 at 0.1 A g^-1 and a long cycle life with a slight capacity degradation (0.01% per cycle) for 2000 cycles at 1 A g^-1 while maintaining outstanding rate capability. Importantly, utilizing in in situ/ex situ microscopic and spectroscopic characterizations, the origins of performance enhancement and K⁺ storage mechanism of Sb₂S₃ were clearly elucidated. This work provides valuable insights into the rational design of high-performance and durable transition metal sulfides-based anodes for PIBs.
