AbstractRechargeable calcium-ion batteries are intriguing alternatives for use as post-lithium-ion batteries. However, the high charge density of divalent Ca2+ establishes a strong electrostatic interaction with the hosting lattice, which results in low-capacity Ca-ion storage. The ionic radius of Ca2+ further leads to sluggish ionic diffusion, hindering high-rate capability performances. Here, we report 5,7,12,14-pentacenetetrone (PT) as an organic crystal electrode active material for aqueous Ca-ion storage. The weak π-π stacked layers of the PT molecules render a flexible and robust structure suitable for Ca-ion storage. In addition, the channels within the PT crystal provide efficient pathways for fast ionic diffusion. The PT anode exhibits large specific capacity (150.5 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1), high-rate capability (86.1 mAh g-1 at 100 A g-1) and favorable low-temperature performances. A mechanistic study identifies proton-assisted uptake/removal of Ca2+ in PT during cycling. First principle calculations suggest that the Ca ions tend to stay in the interstitial space of the PT channels and are stabilized by carbonyls from adjacent PT molecules. Finally, pairing with a high-voltage positive electrode, a full aqueous Ca-ion cell is assembled and tested.

In order to overcome the poor electrical conductivity of titania (TiO2) and silica (SiO2) anode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), we herein report a facile preparation of integrated titania–silica–carbon (TSC) nanofibers via electrospinning and subsequent heat-treatment. Both titania and silica are successfully embedded into the conductive N-doped carbon nanofibers, and they synergistically reinforce the overall strength of the TSC nanofibers after annealing (Note that titania–carbon or silica–carbon nanofibers cannot be obtained under the same condition). When applied as an anode for LIBs, the TSC nanofiber electrode shows superior cycle stability (502 mAh/g at 100 mA/g after 300 cycles) and high rate capability (572, 518, 421, 334, and 232 mAh/g each after 10 cycles at 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 2000 mA/g, respectively). Our results demonstrate that integration of titania/silica into N-doped carbon nanofibers greatly enhances the electrode conductivity and the overall structural stability of the TSC nanofibers upon repeated lithiation/delithiation cycling.
