Prof. Bin Deshan and Prof. Li Dan's team in JNU's College of Chemistry and Materials Science has published a paper in Angewandte Chemie under the title Immobilizing Redox-Active Tricycloquinazoline Into a 2D Conductive Metal-Organic Framework for Lithium Storage.”

The research concerns lithium-ion batteries, which have important applications in mobile electronic equipment, electric vehicles, energy storage power stations and smart grids, and research in the field has attracted extensive attention in recent years. Organic electrode materials are of great interest to researchers because of their rich resources, environmental friendliness, designable structure and high capacity. But their applications are restricted because they are easily soluble in organic electrolytes and have low conductivity and slow reaction kinetics. Bin and Li's team has realized the application as a negative electrode material for high specific capacity lithium-ion batteries.

Yan Jie, a JNU postdoctoral researcher, is the first author of the paper, and Bin and Li are the corresponding authors. This research is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation.
