Elec­tro­che­mi­cal per­for­mance of KTA – Mo­re than a pho­to­nic ma­te­ri­al?

The world needs more energy, preferably in a form that is clean and renewable. This requires sophisticated energy-storage strategies that go beyond the presently used lithium-ion batteries. In this context, there is an intense search for new electrode materials that provide high working voltages, thermal stability, and energy densities, as well as fast ion (de)intercalation.
