Two-dimensional calcium terephthalate as a low-cost, high-performance anode for sodium-ion batteries

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Mar 24;58(25):4048-4051. doi: 10.1039/d1cc06898a.

Abstract

Two-dimensional calcium terephthalate flakes with a thickness of 100-300 nm have been synthesized via adjusting the water : ethanol volume ratio in the solvothermal method. As anodes for sodium-ion batteries, 2D sheet electrodes possess fast kinetics and thus display superior cycling capacity and high-rate capability (195 mA h g-1 at 1000 mA g-1).
