Structurally and chemically defective activated‐crumbled graphene (A‐CG) is employed to achieve unique synergy of large reversible potassium (K) and sodium (Na) ion storage capacity with fast charging and extended cyclability. A‐CG synthesis consists of low temperature spraying of graphene oxide slurry, followed by partial reduction annealing and air activation. For K storage, the reversible capacities are 340 mAh g−1 at 0.04 A g−1, 261 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1, and 210 mAh g−1 at 2 A g−1. For Na storage, the reversible capacities are 280 mAh g−1 at 0.04 A g−1, 191 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1, and 151 mAh g−1 at 2 A g−1. A‐CG shows a stable intermediate rate (0.5 Ag−1) cycling with both K and Na, with minimal fade after 2800 and 8000 cycles. These are among the most favorable capacity—rate capability—cyclability combinations recorded for potassium‐ion battery and sodium‐ion battery carbons. Electroanalytical studies (cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic intermittent titration technique, b‐value) and density functional theory (DFT) reveal that enhanced electrochemical performance originates from ion adsorption at various defects, such as Stone–Wales defects. Moreover, DFT highlights enhanced thermodynamic stability of A‐CG with adsorbed K versus with adsorbed Na, explaining the unexpected higher reversible capacity with the former.
Incorporating extensive defects into graphene can be a powerful strategy for improving the reversible capacity of both potassium‐ and sodium‐ion battery anodes, while maintaining excellent rate capability and cyclability.
