The Ba(hfa)2tetraglyme, Ce(hfa)3diglyme and Y(hfa)3diglyme compounds were synthesized by reacting the barium hydroxide, cerium nitrate hydrate, or yttrium acetate hydrate, respectively, with the ligands Hhfa and polyether, such as tetraglyme (for Ba) and diglyme (for Ce and Y).
Diglyme
Diglyme is a colorless, polar, aprotic solvent with a high boiling point. It is used as a solvent in various industrial and laboratory applications.

(99%), tetraethylene glycol (99%), diglyme (anhydrous), α,α,α-trifluorotoluene
(99%), tetraglyme (anhydrous), and 4 Å molecular sieves were
purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Acetone (99.5%), tetrahydrofuran (certified
grade, with 0.025% butylated hydroxytoluene as a preservative), dichloromethane
(99.5%), hexanes (98.5%), ethyl acetate (99.5%), and methanol (99.8%)
were purchased from Fisher. Lithium foil (750 μm thick), p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (98%), and triglyme (99%) were
purchased from Alfa Aesar. Lithium perchlorate (99%), lithum bis(fluorosulfonyl)
amide (99%), and pentaethylene glycol (95%) were purchased from Oakwood
Chemical. Deuterated acetonitrile (≥99.8 atom % D) and deuterated
chloroform (≥99.8 atom % D) were purchased from Cambridge Isotope
Laboratories. All solvents used for preparing electrolytes were dried
by 4 Å molecular sieves overnight inside an argon-filled glovebox
(VigorTech, O2 and H2O < 1 ppm). LiFSA salt
was vacuum-dried at 120 °C overnight in a heated glovebox antechamber
before use and was not exposed to air at any time. Other chemicals
were used as received.

Cathode and Anode Fabrication for Ca-Ion Batteries
black (Timcal, SUPER C65), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, DuPont,
Teflon 8A) were mixed inside a glovebox at a weight ratio of 7:2:1
to prepare the cathode films. The anodes were prepared by mixing activated
carbon (AC) (Sigma), carbon black, and PTFE at a weight ratio of 8:1:1
in the glovebox. The mixtures were rolled to form thin film cathodes
and anodes. The coin cells were prepared using these cathode and anode
thin films with a loading density of 3 mg/cm2 cathode to
20 mg/cm2 anode. The electrolyte was prepared by drying
calcium(II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide [Ca(TFSI)2, 99.5% Solvionic] salt at 170 °C overnight in an Ar-filled
glovebox. The dried salt was then used to form 0.5 M Ca(TFSI)2 in diglyme (99.5%, Sigma-Aldrich). The electrolyte and its
components were kept inside the glovebox throughout the process. Coin
cells were assembled using the electrolyte, cathode, and anode thin
films, in addition to the separators (Whatman glass microfiber filter).
Galvanostatic cycling tests were performed at 50 °C by using
an Arbin battery tester. The tests were conducted at a current density
of 2 mA/g, and ex situ samples were collected after washing the cathode
thin films with diglyme in an Ar-filled glovebox.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
