Abstract
Low-cost multivalent battery chemistries (Mg2+, Al3+) have been extensively investigated for large-scale energy storage applications. However, their commercialization is plagued by the poor power density and cycle life of cathodes. A universal polyimides@CNT (PI@CNT) cathode is now presented that can reversibly store various cations with different valences (Li+, Mg2+, Al3+) at an extremely fast rate. The ion-coordination charge storage mechanism of PI@CNT is systemically investigated. Full cells using PI@CNT cathodes and corresponding metal anodes exhibit long cycle life (>10000 cycles), fast kinetics (>20 C), and wide operating temperature range (−40 to 50 °C), making the low-cost industrial polyimides universal cathodes for different multivalent metal batteries. The stable ion-coordinated mechanism opens a new foundation for the development of high-energy and high-power multivalent batteries.
