DESCRIPTION
Scientists searching for lithium-ion battery substitutes have shifted their focus to potassium-ion batteries. Although potassium is an abundant material and the technology works similarly to lithium-ion batteries, these batteries have not been explored extensively because of issues with energy storage and poor electrochemical performance caused by the ionic radius.
