Atomic layer deposition of core-shell structured V2O5@CNT sponge as cathode for potassium ion batteries

Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) represent one of the most promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) considering the potential low cost and abundant potassium resource. In this work, we demonstrate a core-shell structured sponge cathode for KIBs, where amorphous V2O5 uniformly coats on ca...
