Article Description

Despite encountering various challenges in the production of high volumetric capacity potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), metal tellurides present a promising solution owing to their high density and conductivity. In this work, we synthesized copper telluride nanotubes, measuring 2–5 μm in length with a wall thickness of 30 nm, employing a two-step hot injection method as anode materials for high volumetric capacity PIBs. Their electrochemical behavior was investigated via in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), elucidating the precipitation of metallic copper during K + insertion. Through meticulous adjustment of the copper content, exceptional volumetric capacity (2225.1 mA h cm −3 ) and impressive rate capacity (994 mA h cm −3 ) were ultimately attained. Notably, the material exhibited over 150 cycles at a current density of 500 mA h g −1 with negligible capacity degradation. This work underscores the significance of the tellurium-to‑copper ratio, demonstrating that a 2:1 ratio is pivotal for optimizing tellurium utilization and enhancing electrode rate performance. Moreover, the nanotubes structure substantially augmented the reactive surface area while mitigating issues associated with volume expansion. These discoveries position copper telluride nanotubes as robust contenders for the next generation of high-capacity PIBs anode.
