Abstract

We fabricated a rechargeable molecular cluster battery, based on a cathode active material, [Mn₁₂O₁₂(CH₃COO)₁₆(H₂O)₄]. The charging–discharging experiments revealed rechargeable battery performance with a capacity of ca. 90 A h kg⁻¹, while the first discharging process exhibited an extremely high value of 200–250 A h kg⁻¹.
