Abstract

In this work, nanosized polythiophene (PTh) is synthesized via a green and facile method. The obtained nanosized PTh was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller theory (BET) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result indicated that a nanosized, porous and amorphous PTh was synthesized. As an organic anode material for potassium ion battery, the PTh shows excellent performance with a reversible capacity of 58mAhg-1 at 30mAg-1.
