Abstract:
Low-cost and safe batteries are considered to be promising energy-storage systems. Here, a metal organic framework (MOF)-derived octahedral Cu1.95S@CoS2 composite is developed as a high-performance cathode of aluminium-ion (Al-ion) batteries. CoS2 nanoparticles on Cu1.95S provide active sites, making AlCl4- intercalation/deintercalation highly reversible, and reducing polarization. Cycling at 0.5 A g-1, Cu1.95S@CoS2 maintains stable capacities of 136.6 and 122.4 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at room temperature and -10 °C, respectively. Stable rate-performance is also achieved. These findings will accelerate the application of Al-ion batteries and MOF-derived energy-storage composites.
