摘要: Present Li-ion batteries for portable electronics are based on inorganic electrodes. For upcoming large-scale applications the notion of materials sustainability produced by made through eco-efficient processes, such as renewable organic electrodes, is crucial. We here report two salts, Li(2)C(8)H(4)O(4) (Li terephthalate) and Li(2)C(6)H(4)O(4)(Li trans-trans-muconate), with carboxylate groups conjugated within molecular core, which respectively capable reacting one extra Li per formula unit at potentials 0.8 1.4 V, giving reversible capacities 300 150 mA h g(-1). The activity maintained 80 degrees C polyethyleneoxide-based electrolytes. A noteworthy advantage Li(2)C(6)H(4)O(4) negative electrodes their enhanced thermal stability over carbon in 1 M LiPF(6) ethylene carbonate-dimethyl carbonate electrolytes, should result safer cells. Moreover, bio-inspired materials, both compounds metabolites aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation, terephthalic acid available abundance from recycling polyethylene terephthalate.
