We demonstrate minimal capacity fade of the Ca||Sb (s) battery over ~4000 full depth-of-discharge cycles and high coulombic (>98.4%) and energy efficiencies (79–84%) at
Rechargeable calcium-ion batteries (CIBs) are promising alternatives for use as post-lithium-ion batteries because of the merits of high theoretical capacity and abundant sources of Ca anode, low redox potential and the divalent electron redox properties of calcium.
The capacity of Ca-based liquid metal batteries is limited by Ca solubility in liquid metals. Here, authors pair a Ca-based liquid metal negative electrode with a solid Sb positive electrode to achieve high capacity and low energy cost.

The electrochemical tests showed that CaSi 2 anode could deliver a specific capacity of 240 mAh g −1 and dealloying/alloying plateaus at 2.75 V and 0.88 V vs. Ca 2+ /Ca, respectively (Fig. 8b). This work fully demonstrated that Ca-Si alloys could be electrochemically active as anode in Ca batteries.
This cost constraint has thus featured prominently in the recent development of liquid metal batteries (LMBs) made from earth-abundant materials which display reliable performance and high current capabilities due to fast liquid-liquid kinetics 4, 5, 6, 7.
The appearance of multivalent rechargeable battery makes it possible to develop new energy storage system with high energy density. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could influence the work reported in this paper.
