Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

By using a potassium ion secondary battery positive electrode active material comprising a potassium compound represented by general formula (1): K n MO m , wherein M is copper or iron, n is 0.5 to 3.5, and m is 1.5 to 2.5, provided is a potassium ion secondary battery positive electrode active material having higher theoretical discharge capacity and higher effective capacity than a potassium secondary battery using Prussian blue as a positive electrode active material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A potassium ion secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, the positive electrode containing an active material that includes a potassium compound represented by general formula (1): K n MO m , wherein M is copper, iron, or manganese, n is 1.63 to 3.5, and m is 1.5 to 2.5. 2. The potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the potassium compound has an orthorhombic structure and/or monoclinic structure. 3. The potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the potassium compound has a mean particle diameter of 0.2 to 50 μm. 4. A method for producing the active material in the potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , the method comprising a heating step of heating a mixture containing potassium, oxygen, and copper, iron, or manganese. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the heating temperature in the heating step is 500 to 1500° C. 6. The potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrode further comprises a conductive material. 7. A potassium ion secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, the positive electrode containing an active material that includes a potassium compound represented by general formula (1): K n MO m , wherein M is copper or iron, n is 0.5 to 3.5, and m is 1.5 to 2.5. 8. A The potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein the potassium compound has an orthorhombic structure and/or monoclinic structure. 9. The potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein the potassium compound has a mean particle diameter of 0.2 to 50 μm. 10. A method for producing the active material in the potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 7 , the method comprising a heating step of heating a mixture containing potassium, oxygen, and copper or iron. 11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the heating temperature in the heating step is 500 to 1500° C. 12. The potassium ion secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein the electrode further comprises a conductive material.
