In situ carbon coated flower-like VPO4 as an anode material for potassium-ion batteries

Abstract

Here we design a novel carbon coating method for phosphate-based VPO4 with three different morphologies, via the intercalation of isobutanol to layered VOPO4·2H2O combined with thermal reduction. The well-constructed flower-like VPO4 delivers a high reversible capacity of 400 mA h g−1 with a long cycle-life of more than 500 cycles, proving that the special structure is suitable to accommodate the large volume expansion during the electrochemical charge–discharge process.
