Abstract:
A new kind of oxygen-rich carbon microsphere with a nanoflake-interlaced architecture has been successfully prepared by a facile surfactant-assisted precipitation-polymerization method. This hierarchical infrastructure can efficiently buffer the volume change during the potassiation/depotassiation cycles.

A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Group 1 elements are soft and shiny metallic solids. They are malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity. The melting points of the alkali metals are unusually low for metals and decrease going down the group, while the density increases going down the group with the exception of potassium (Table 1).
