Carbon Monoliths: Ultra-High Pyridinic N-Doped Porous Carbon Monolith Enabling High-Capacity K-Ion Battery Anodes for Both Half-Cell and Full-Cell Applications (Adv. Mater. 35/2017)

Owing to the lower cost and easy accessibility of potassium, potassium-ion batteries are considered as potential substitutes for lithium-ion batteries. A porous carbon monolith with ultrahigh pyridinic N content is successfully synthesized by Yu Chen, Chenglin Yan, and co-workers in article 1702268, which exhibits excellent electrochemical performance, especially in terms of reversible capacity, for both K⁺ half-cells and full-cells.
