Molecular cluster batteries of nano-hybrid materials between Keggin POMs and SWNTs.
Nano-hybrid materials of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and polyoxometalates (POMs) with three counter cations were prepared and used as cathode-active materials of molecular cluster batteries (MCBs). The charging/discharging performances and thus battery capacity of the MCBs with hybrid materials were significantly better than those of the microcrystal-POM MCBs.
