Ellagic acid – a novel organic electrode material for high capacity lithium ion batteries

Abstract

Ellagic acid, a naturally occurring polyphenol, extracted from pomegranate husk, is found to be a very good organic electrode material for rechargeable lithium batteries with high reversible capacities of ∼450 and 200 mA h g−1 at C/10 and C/2.5 discharge rates, respectively; ex situ NMR studies reveal possible lithiation–delithiation modes at different stages of the charge–discharge process.
