Abstract
The wide availability and low cost of potassium resources have made electrochemical potassium storage a promising energy storage solution for sustainable decarbonisation. Research activities have been rapidly increasing in the last few years to investigate various potassium batteries such as K-ion batteries (KIBs), K–S batteries and K–Se batteries. The electrode materials of these battery technologies are being extensively studied to examine their suitability and performance, and the utilisation of hybrid nanostructures has undoubtedly contributed to the advancement of the performance. This review presents a timely summary of utilising hybrid nanostructures as battery electrodes to address the issues currently existing in potassium batteries via taking advantage of the compositional and structural diversity of hybrid nanostructures. The complex challenges in KIBs and K–S and K–Se batteries are outlined and the role of hybrid nanostructures is discussed in detail regarding the characteristics of intercalation, conversion and alloying reactions that take place to electrochemically store K in hybrid nanostructures, highlighting their multifunctionality in addressing the challenges. Finally, outlooks are given to stimulate new ideas and insights into the future development of hybrid nanostructures for electrochemical potassium storage.
