Metal halides have become the research topic of battery due to their high energy d. In our work, we synthesized ethylene glycol cyclic sulfate (egcs) as the electrolyte solvent through a simple one-step hydrothermal reaction, and for the first time proposed a new non-toxic rechargeable copper bromide (CuBr2) battery with a complete system. After testing, the specific capacity of the CuBr2-battery with the electrolyte of this system can reach 200 mAh g-1cb at the charging and discharging c.d. of 2 A g-1. The specific capacity can still reach 142 mAh g-1cb after 8000 cycles. In addition, the reaction mechanism of CuBr2-battery was verified by XPS, IR, MS and XRD characterization. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of Cupric bromide(cas: 7789-45-9Name: Cupric bromide)
Some reported applications of Cupric bromide(cas: 7789-45-9) are: catalyst in cross coupling reactions; co-catalyst in Sonogashira coupling; lewis acid in enantioselective addition of alkynes.Name: Cupric bromide
