Abstract

An ultrafast rechargeable multi-ions battery is presented, in which multi-ions can electrochemically intercalate into graphite layers, exhibiting a high reversible discharge capacity of ≈100 mAh g^-1 and a Coulombic efficiency of ≈99% over hundreds of cycles at a high current density. The results may open up a new paradigm for multi-ions-based electrochemical battery technologies and applications.

Keywords: energy storage; graphite; multi-ions batteries.
