Coordination induced electron redistribution to achieve highly reversible Li-ion insertion chemistry in metal–organic frameworks†
Abstract
Herein, the coordination-induced increase in the electron density of fused C6 rings in MOFs as high performance anode materials for Li+ ion batteries is described. Zn-PTCA is able to deliver a high specific capacity of 700 mA h g−1 at 50 mA g−1 and exhibits excellent cycle performance over 1100 cycles and good rate capability.
