Aromatic Ions as Anode Materials for Rechargeable, Ambient - Temperature Batteries.
Abstract
The use of aromatic radical ions is proposed as anode material for high energy density, ambient-temperature, secondary batteries. Preliminary data are promising, showing that the naphthalenide anion can provide high current-densities at practical current-collectors like steel and nickel. However, the present test-electrode design did not confine naphthalene long enough to demonstrate rechargeability over a number of cycles. Two approaches are recommended to containing the aromatics close to a current-collector for extended periods of charge-discharge cycling. (Author )
