We investigated the electrochemical intercalation of Ca2+ or solvated Ca2+ into Marimo nano carbon (MNC) as an anode material for calcium-ion batteries. When Ca (ClO4)2 and Ca (TFSI)2 were used as electrolyte salts, the solution structure changed in the γ-butyrolactone solvent. Additionally, higher charge capacitance was obtained at the MNC electrode than at the graphite electrode. When heat-treated MNCs were used with each electrolyte (ClO4)2 intercalated better than Ca (TFSI)2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
