Abstract

Calcium-ion batteries (CIBs) are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the low redox potential of calcium metal and high abundance of calcium compounds. Due to its layered structure, α-MoO₃is regarded as a promising cathode host lattice. While studies have reported that α-MoO₃can reversibly intercalate Ca ions, limited electrochemical activity has been noted, and its reaction mechanism remains unclear. Here, we re-examine Ca insertion into α-MoO₃nanoparticles with a goal to improve reaction kinetics and clarify the storage mechanism. The α-MoO₃electrodes demonstrated a specific capacity of 165 mA h g^-1centered near 2.7 V vs Ca²⁺/Ca, stable long-Term cycling, and good rate performance at room temperature. This work demonstrates that, under the correct conditions, layered oxides can be a promising host material for CIBs and renews prospects for CIBs.
