Beyond Divalent Copper: A Redox Couple for Sodium Ion Battery Cathode Materials

Abstract

, and canwithstand a thousand cycles, maintaining 61% of its original capacity. We demonstrate that copper can enable not only high voltage,but also excellent stability. This work opens up a new avenue of oxide design for high energy, cost effective battery systems.© The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.
