Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted significant attention as a complement to lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). PIBs can theoretically provide higher specific energy and power density than SIBs due to lower standard electrode potential of K/K+ and faster K+ ion diffusion, maintaining the benefits of low-cost and sustainability. However, research on PIBs is in its infancy; therefore, further efforts are necessary to enhance their performance and position them as a competitive technology. In this perspective, the remaining challenges and possible strategies to advance the development of PIBs are presented.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) have attracted significant attention as a complement to lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). PIBs can theoretically provide higher specific energy and power density than SIBs due to lower standard electrode potential of K/K+ and faster K+ ion diffusion, maintaining the benefits of low-cost and sustainability. However, research on PIBs is in its infancy; therefore, further efforts are necessary to enhance their performance and position them as a competitive technology. In this perspective, the remaining challenges and possible strategies to advance the development of PIBs are presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
