Organometallic complexes for rechargeable batteries

Abstract

Organometallic compounds (OMCs) have been gaining importance as materials for the design of batteries relying on their structural diversity, rich porosity, unique charge centres (redox active metals) and relative low price. This work focuses on their use for rechargeable batteries oriented to energy storage, which are indispensable to transition to an energy model based on renewable sources. For this, a bibliographic review of energy storage technologies, focusing on rechargeable batteries and OMCs was carried out. Additionally, three OMCs were chosen to be synthesized and characterized in the laboratory.
