High-energy-density dual-ion battery for stationary storage of electricity using concentrated potassium fluorosulfonylimide.

ABSTRACT: Graphite dual-ion batteries represent a potential battery concept for large-scale stationary storage of electricity, especially when constructed free of lithium and other chemical elements with limited natural reserves. Owing to their non-rocking-chair operation mechanism, however, the practical deployment of graphite dual-ion batteries is inherently limited by the need for large quantities of electrolyte solutions as reservoirs of all ions that are needed for complete charge and discharge of the electrodes. Thus far, lithium-free graphite dual-ion batteries have employed moderately concentrated electrolyte solutions (0.3-1 M), resulting in rather low cell-level energy densities of 20-70 Wh kg^-1. In this work, we present a lithium-free graphite dual-ion battery utilizing a highl
