Molecular Design of Crystalline Potassium Pyridonate Electrolytes for All-Solid-State Potassium Metal Batteries
(no. 11), where unsaturated K-ion coordination and flexible layered structure are observed. We successfully demonstrated the first all-solid-state PMB prototype using this organic salt. Both experimental and first-principles calculations reveal that ion diffusion occurs via defect-mediated mechanisms within the layered flexible lattice. Compared with the inorganic SSEs, the present study opens up a new avenue for fabricating safe and facile organic electrolyte materials.
