Butylammonium Hexachlorostannate for Lithium-Ion Batteries: An Experimental Application

In this study, we investigate the application of butylammonium hexachlorostannate (BAHCS) as a novel material for enhancing the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). BAHCS, a metal halide perovskite-related compound, is expected to exhibit potential electrochemical properties due to its hybrid organic-inorganic structure. We synthesized and characterized BAHCS, evaluating its potential as an electrode material in LIBs. Electrochemical testing demonstrated that BAHCS possesses a moderate specific capacity (around 100 mAh g-1) and good capacity retention and cycling stability. This study highlights the promise of BAHCS as a functional material in next-generation LIBs, providing a pathway for the development of organic-inorganic energy storage devices. Our findings suggest that further optimization of BAHCS-based materials could lead to significant advancements in LIB technology, indicating that incorporation of new inorganic cations in perovskite materials might improve the lithium insertion-extraction process in the cathode.
