Abstract

Liquid sodium-potassium (Na-K) alloy has the characteristics of high abundance, low redox potential, high capacity, and no dendrites, which has become an ideal alternative material for potassium/sodium metal anodes. However, the high surface tension of liquid sodium potassium alloy at room temperature makes it inconvenient in practical use. Here, the Na-K as reducing agent treats with hydrazone linkages of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and obtain the carbon-oxygen radical COFs (COR-Tf-DHzDM-COFs). The preparation method solves the problems that the preparation process of the traditional Na-K composite anode is complex and has high cost. The structures of the COR-Tf-DHzDM-COFs are characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and solid-state NMR measurements. It is the first time that carbon-oxygen radical COFs from bulk COFs are constructed by one-step method and the operation is flexible, convenient, and high rate of quality, which is suitable for big production and widely used. The cycle stability of the composite Na-K anode is improved, which provides a new idea for the design of high-performance liquid metal anode.
