Unraveling the Intercorrelation Between Micro/Mesopores and K Migration Behavior in Hard Carbon

Small, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 18(12)

Published: Jan. 27, 2022

Abstract Pore‐structure design with increased ion‐diffusion ability is usually regarded as an effective strategy to improve K‐storage performance in hard carbon (HC). However, the relationship between porous structure and K + migration behavior remains unclear requires further exploration. Herein, a series of chemically activated spheres (denoted AHCSs) controllable micro/mesopores are successfully synthesized explore intercorrelation behavior. The experimental results indicate AHCSs have two different storage ways, that is, adsorption at high potential region intercalation process low region. These behaviors closely related pores evolution: micropores afford extra active sites for efficient K‐ions adsorption, therefore positive correlation adsorption‐contributed capacity confirmed; mesopores permit more intercalation/deintercalation by offering adequate pathways, result correlations intercalation‐contributed well initial Coulombic efficiency revealed. All these together contribute achieving excellent reversible capacity, exceptional rate capability ultra‐long cycle lifespan PIBs, simultaneously exhibit energy density considerable cycling stability potassium‐ion full cells. promote fundamental understanding carbon.

Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) have caused serious environmental pollution and health risks. Although the past few years witnessed achievements of studies on behavior HMs, related toxicity mechanisms, control, their relationship remains a mystery. Researchers generally focused one topic independently without comprehensive considerations due to knowledge gap between science human health. Indeed, full life cycle control HMs is crucial should be reconsidered with combination occurrence, transport, fate in environment. Therefore, we started by reviewing behaviors which are affected variety natural factors as well physicochemical properties. Furthermore, mechanisms were discussed according exposure route, mechanism, adverse consequences. In addition, current state-of-the-art available technologies for wastewater solid wastes summarized. Finally, based research trend, proposed that advanced in-operando characterizations will help us better understand fundamental reaction big data analysis approaches aid establishing prediction model risk management.
