Abstract
- The development of low-cost and high-activity Fe-based anodic materials is very promising for the present solid-state energy storage. In this work, we successfully synthesize ultra-long KFeS<subscript>2</subscript> nanowires on an Fe foam substrate via a simple hydrothermal strategy. Physical characterization shows that the as-synthesized KFeS<subscript>2</subscript> nanowires possess merits of good morphological uniformity, considerable mass loading (∼76 mg cm<superscript>−2</superscript>) and strong affinity for the substrate. As an anode for solid-state energy storage, the areal capacity of the KFeS<subscript>2</subscript> electrode can reach 21.1 mA h cm<superscript>−2</superscript> (at 50 mA cm<superscript>−2</superscript>), which is greatly enhanced as compared to the previous best result (<2 mA h cm<superscript>−2</superscript>), and the durability test indicates that the electrode only shows a small working potential shift after long-time cycling. The assembled KFeS<subscript>2</subscript>//NiO single solid-state battery exhibits an enhanced energy density of 175.2–135.8 W h m<superscript>−2</superscript> at a power range of 436.5–1750 W m<superscript>−2</superscript>. By using in situ Raman and in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technologies, the dynamics of the electrode and the energy storage mechanism of the KFeS<subscript>2</subscript> nanowires are revealed. This work achieves a milestone in the development of high-performance Fe-based film anodes for solid-state energy storage, especially aiming for low-cost and large-scale application.
