摘要
Abstract The increasing demand for batteries forced the development of energy storage systems that rely on materials consisting of abundant elements in the Earth’s crust. Switching from Li + to K + as the main ionic charge carrier needs highly conducting potassium-bearing electrolytes to realize K + ion batteries (PIBs). The knowledge gained from the design of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (NIBs) may conceptually inspire also the establishment of PIBs. Considering, for instance, the hexatitanates Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 , Li 2 Ti 6 O 13 , and H 2 Ti 6 O 13 , which were previously investigated as components for LIBs and NIBs, here we investigated ion dynamics in the K-analog K 2 Ti 6 O 13 . Ionic transport in polycrystalline samples of K 2 Ti 6 O 13 was studied in a moisture-free atmosphere by broadband impedance spectroscopy in a temperature range from 20 °C to 450 °C. The current study aims at establishing a correlation between structural features of K 2 Ti 6 O 13 and long-range ionic transport. As expected for K + transport in K 2 Ti 6 O 13 with its geometrically obstructed structure, the overall activation energy of ion transport in the ternary oxide takes a rather high value of 0.97(2) eV. Almost the same result (0.95(3) eV) is obtained for the migration activation energy, which we extracted from the analysis of crossover frequencies of the corresponding conductivity isotherms. By comparing our results with those of Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 (0.82 eV), Li 2 Ti 6 O 13 (0.65 eV), and H 2 Ti 6 O 13 , we clearly see how the size of the mobile cation correlates with both specific conductivities and activation energies. This comparison points to K + being the main charge carrier in K 2 Ti 6 O 13 . It also helps in laying the foundations to derive the relevant structure-property relationships in this class of materials.
