Abstract:
Conjugated coordination polymers (CCPs), showing high conductivity, can be expected to be possibly applied in batteries, which, however, have not been well studied. Furthermore, CCPs are so unique that most of their chemical structures have not been well determined. Herein, a highly conductive CCP is reported for sodium-ion batteries, which shows high rate performance and high capacity retention of 84% even at 30C. What's more, the chemical structure is successfully revealed based on the structure variation during the electrochemical redox process.

Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
