Electrochemical potassium storage explores the principles, materials, and technological developments of a variety of battery technologies based on electrochemical potassium storage. It covers the principles of potassium-ion batteries (organic and aqueous electrolytes), potassium metal batteries, potassium-sulfur (selenium) batteries, and potassium-oxygen batteries, as well as the development of the electrode materials of these batteries and the understanding of electrochemical cell operations.

Batteries using potassium ions as the charge carrier to store energy operate via different electrochemical processes and have different features of materials electrochemistry compared to lithium-based batteries. Thus, battery technologies based on electrochemical potassium storage exhibit different performance strengths, potentially having diverse market applications. This is particularly important for the search for environmentally and economically sustainable alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries in a wide range of applications.

This book presents the state-of-the-art development of potassium-based batteries and in-depth discussion on their structure-to-performance relationships.

Dr Yang Xu is an Associate Professor in Energy Storage in the Department of Chemistry at University College London (UCL). He received his PhD at the University of Science and Technology of China, with the Chu Yuet Wah Chinese Academy of Sciences Award for Outstanding Doctoral Students. He then carried out his postdoctoral research at Boston College (US) and the University of Alberta (Canada), followed by working as a Senior Scientist at Technische Universität Ilmenau (Germany). He joined UCL Chemistry as an Assistant Professor in 2019 and was promoted to an Associate Professor in 2023. He is the program director of the MSc Materials for Energy and Environment. His research focuses on next-generation battery materials and chemistries, with special interest in cation intercalation, metal batteries, and anionic redox activities. He has received research fundings from various funders including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Faraday Institution, the Royal Society, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), the Leverhulme Trust, and UCL. He is the recipient of the MINE Outstanding Young Scientist Award (2019), the EPSRC New Investigator Award (2020), and the STFC Early Career Award (2023). He is a member of the editorial board of JPhys Mater. (IOP), the advisory boards of J. Mater. Chem. A and Mater. Adv. (RSC), and the youth editorial boards of Sci. China. Mater. (Springer) and eScience (Elsevier).
