Abstract

The comparison of different electrolytes showed that both salt concentration and anion are key parameters for controlling the performance of K-metal batteries. Among the different tested electrolytes, 5 M KTFSI in DME exhibits the best stability at high potential and good performance in K|Prussian blue cells.
