Sodium terephthalate as an organic anode material for sodium ion batteries

Adv Mater. 2012 Jul 10;24(26):3562-7. doi: 10.1002/adma.201201205. Epub 2012 Jun 8.

Abstract

Disodium terephthalate and its various derivatives are synthesized via simple acid-base chemistry for anode materials in Na ion batteries. They show excellent electrochemical performance, including little capacity fading over 90 cycles, ideal redox potential, and excellent rate performance, making them promising candidates for Na ion batteries.
