Abstract

We report the plating and stripping of calcium metal at room temperature in a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and propylene carbonate (PC) solvents using calcium tetrafluoroborate (Ca(BF₄)₂) as the salt. Calcium is reversibly deposited and removed over several cycles, with associated plating-stripping efficiencies of >95%. Thin layers (∼20 μm) of crystalline calcium are present as the deposits, with a stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) forming. This work opens opportunities to realize redox active Ca metal electrodes using commercially available alkyl carbonate solvents.
