Abstract
The high manufacturing cost of vanadium electrolytes is caused by the sluggish kinetics of V4+ to V3+, which restricts the commercialization of all vanadium flow batteries (VFBs). Here, density functional theory calculations first reveal the detailed reaction pathway and point out the rate-determined step by the desorption of the end product [V(H2O)6]3+. Catalytic site engineering at the molecular level can optimize the adsorption energy of [V(H2O)6]3+ to boost the kinetics. Furthermore, iron single-atoms embedded nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (FeSA/NCNT) are designed to decrease the adsorption energy of [V(H2O)6]3+. The reaction rate constant of FeSA/NCNT toward V4+ to V3+ is 1.62 × 10-7 cm s-1, 37.5 times that of the commercial carbon catalyst. Therefore, the energy consumption is reduced by 22.5%. Meanwhile, the prepared vanadium electrolyte is of high quality with the ideal oxidation state of + 3.5 without impurities. This work reveals the catalytic mechanism of V4+ to V3+ and proposes a simple but practical strategy to reduce the preparation cost of V3.5+ electrolyte.

Abstract
Aqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs) are considered a promising energy storage technology due to the sustainability and designability of organic active molecules. Despite this, most of AORFBs suffer from limited stability and low voltage because of the chemical instability and high redox potential of organic molecules in anolyte. Herein, we propose a new phenazine derivative, 4,4'-(phenazine-2,3-diylbis(oxy))dibutyric acid (2,3-O-DBAP), as a water-soluble and chemically stable anodic active molecules. By combining calculations and experiments, we demonstrate that 2,3-O-DBAP exhibits a higher solubility, a lower redox potential (-0.699 V vs SHE), and greater chemical stability than other O-DBAP isomers. Then, we demonstrate a long-lasting flow cell with an average discharge voltage of 1.12 V, a low fade rate of 0.0127%, and a lifespan of 62 days at pH 14 using 2,3-O-DBAP paired with ferri/ferrocyanide. The negligible self-discharge behavior also verifies the high stability of 2,3-O-DBAP. These results highlight the importance of molecular engineering for AORFBs.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable multivalent metal-ion batteries (ARMMBs) have attracted considerable attention due to their high capacity, high energy density, and low cost. However, their performance is often limited by low temperature operation, which requires the development of anti-freezing electrolytes. In this review, we summarize the anti-freezing mechanisms and optimization strategies of anti-freezing electrolytes for aqueous batteries (especially for Zn-ion batteries). Besides, we investigate the possible interactions and side reactions between electrolytes and electrodes. We also analyze the problems between electrolytes and electrodes at low temperature, and propose possible solutions. The research progress in the field of low temperature energy storage for aqueous Mg-ion, Ca-ion, and Al-ion batteries, and the challenges faced in their anti-freezing electrolytes are investigated in detail. Last but not least, the outlook on the energy storage applications of ARMMBs is provided to guide the future research.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are a promising stationary energy storage technology for leveling power supply from intermittent renewable energy sources with demand. A central objective for the development of practical, scalable RFBs is to identify affordable and high-performance redox-active molecules as storage materials. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a new organic scaffold, indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline, for highly stable, low-reduction potential, and high-solubility anolytes for nonaqueous redox flow batteries (NARFBs). The mixture of 2- and 3-(tert-butyl)-6-(2-methoxyethyl)-6H-indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline exhibits a low reduction potential (-2.01 V vs Fc/Fc+), high solubility (>2.7 M in acetonitrile), and remarkable stability (99.86% capacity retention over 49.5 h (202 cycles) of H-cell cycling). This anolyte was paired with N-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-ethyl)phenothiazine (MEEPT) to achieve a 2.3 V all-organic NARFB exhibiting 95.8% capacity retention over 75.1 h (120 cycles) of cycling.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) present an opportunity to bridge the gap between the intermittent availability of green energy sources and the need for on-demand grid level energy storage. While aqueous vanadium-based redox flow batteries have been commercialized, they are limited by the constraints of using water as an electrochemical solvent. Nonaqueous redox flow battery systems can be used to produce high voltage batteries due to the larger electrochemical window in nonaqueous solvents and the ability to tune the redox properties of active materials through functionalization. Iron porphyrins, a class of organometallic macrocycles, have been the subject of many studies for their photocatalytic and electrocatalytic properties in nonaqueous solvents. Often, iron porphyrins can undergo multiple redox events making them interesting candidates for use as anolytes in asymmetrical redox flow batteries or as both catholyte and anolyte in symmetrical redox flow battery systems. Here the electrochemical properties of Fe(III)TPP species relevant to redox flow battery electrolytes are investigated including solubility, electrochemical properties, and charge/discharge cycling. Commonly used support electrolyte salts can have reactivities that are often overlooked beyond their conductivity properties in nonaqueous solvents. Parasitic reactions with the cations of common support electrolytes are highlighted herein, which underscore the careful balance required to fully assess the potential of novel RFB electrolytes.

Abstract
Porphyrin derivatives represent an emerging class of redox-active materials for sustainable electrochemical energy storage. However, their structure-performance relationship is poorly understood, which confines their rational design and thus limits access to their full potential. To gain such understanding, we here focus on the role of the metal ion within porphyrin molecules. The A2 B2 -type porphyrin 5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin and its first-row transition metal complexes from Co to Zn are used as models to investigate the relationships between structure and electrochemical performance. It turned out that the choice of central metal atom has a profound influence on the practical voltage window and discharge capacity. The results of DFT calculations suggest that the choice of central metal atom triggers the degree of planarity of the porphyrin. Single crystal diffraction studies illustrate the consequences on the intramolecular rearrangement and packing of metalloporphyrins. Besides the direct effect of the metal choice on the undesired solubility, efficient packing and crystallinity are found to dictate the rate capability and the ion diffusion along with the porosity. Such findings open up a vast space of compositions and morphologies to accelerate the practical application of resource-friendly cathode materials to satisfy the rapidly increasing need for efficient electrical energy storage.

Abstract
Carbon capture from both stationary emitters and dilute sources is critically needed to mitigate climate change. Carbon dioxide separation methods driven by electrochemical stimuli show promise to sidestep the high-energy penalty and fossil-fuel dependency associated with the conventional pressure and temperature swings. Compared with a batch process, electrochemically mediated carbon capture (EMCC) operating in a continuous flow mode offers greater design flexibility. Therefore, this review introduces key advances in continuous flow EMCC for point source, air, and ocean carbon captures. Notably, the main challenges and future research opportunities for practical implementation of continuous flow EMCC processes are discussed from a multi-scale perspective, from molecules to electrochemical cells and finally to separation systems.

Abstract
All-organic non-aqueous redox flow batteries (O-NRFBs) are a promising technology for grid-scale energy storage. However, most examples of high-voltage (>2 V) O-NRFBs rely upon the use of distinct anolytes and catholytes separated by a membrane or porous separator which can result in crossover of redox active material from one side of the battery to the other. The resulting electrolyte mixing leads to irreversible reductions in energy density and capacity. A potentially attractive solution to overcome this crossover issue is the implementation of symmetric flow batteries where a single bipolar molecule functions as both an anolyte and a catholyte. Herein, we report the development of a new class of bipolar redox active materials for use in such symmetric flow batteries through the electronic coupling of phenothiazine catholytes and phthalimide anolytes. Such a strategy results in hybrid molecules possessing higher cell voltages than what could be obtained together by their uncoupled building blocks. Performance in flow batteries is demonstrated for two members of this new class of molecules, with the highest performing candidate featuring a ΔE of 2.31 V and demonstrating 93.6% average coulombic efficiency, 86.8% energy efficiency, and 68.6% capacity retention over the course of 275 charge-discharge cycles and 5 cell polarity reversals. Finally, the superior performance of symmetric O-NRFBs is experimentally confirmed by comparing these results to an asymmetric flow battery constructed with a distinct phenothiazine catholyte and a distinct phthalimide anolyte on opposing sides of the cell.

Abstract
Organic cathode materials have recently attracted abundant attention due to their flexible structural tunability and recyclability. However, the low intrinsic electrical conductivity and high solubility in electrolytes of organic electrode materials have significantly limited their practical application. Herein, we present [5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-difurylporphinato] copper(II) (CuDEOP) as a new cathode for rechargeable organic lithium batteries (ROLBs). The combination of both ethynyl and furyl groups of the CuDEOP cathode with a nanorod structure renders it with enhanced structural stability and an extended delocalized π-electron system to deliver excellent cycling stability (capacity retention of 76% after 6000 cycles) and a high power density (16 kW kg-1). The furyl electroactive groups participate in charge storage contribution to achieve a reversible six-electron-transfer redox reaction in a specific voltage range. The mechanism characterizations indicate that the nitrogen atoms on the porphyrin ring act as active sites to alternatively store both PF6- anions and Li+ cations, and the charge storage process is a pseudocapacitive-dominated reaction. This observation will offer a new avenue for designing functionalized molecules for electrochemical energy-storage (EES) systems.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs) are considered promising electrochemical energy storage systems for grid-scale applications due to their low cost, high safety, and environmental benignity. With the demand for a wide range of application scenarios, batteries are required to work in various harsh conditions, especially the cold weather. Nevertheless, electrolytes would freeze at extremely low temperatures, resulting in dramatically sluggish kinetics and severe performance degradation. Here, we discuss the behaviors of hydrogen bonds and basic principles of anti-freezing mechanisms in aqueous electrolytes. Then, we present a systematical review of the optimization strategies of electrolytes for low-temperature aqueous batteries. Finally, the challenges and promising routes for further development of aqueous low-temperature electrolytes are provided. This review can serve as a comprehensive reference to boost the further development and practical applications of advanced ARBs operated at low temperatures.

Abstract
Using bipolar redox-active molecules (BRMs) as active materials is a practical way to address electrolyte crossover and resultant unpredictable side reactions in redox-flow batteries. However, the development of BRMs is greatly hindered by difficulties in finding new molecules from limited redox-active moieties and in achieving high cell voltage to compete with existing flow battery chemistries. This study proposes a strategy for design of high-voltage BRMs using fused conjugation that regulates the redox potential of integrated redox-active moieties. As a demonstration, quaternary N and ketone redox moieties are used to construct a new BRM that shows a prominent voltage gap with good electrochemical stability. A symmetrical redox-flow cell based on this molecule exhibits a high voltage of 2.5 V and decent cycling stability. This study provides a general strategy for designing new BRMs that may enrich the cell chemistries of organic redox-flow batteries.

Abstract
The ongoing development of redox-active charge carriers for nonaqueous redox-flow batteries has led to energy-dense storage concepts and chemistries with high cell voltages. However, rarely are these candidates for flowable energy storage evaluated in tandem with cell separators compatible with organic solvent, limiting progress in the identification of suitable charge carrier-separator pairings. This is important, as the efficiency of a redox-flow battery is dictated by extent of active species crossover through a separator, dividing the two cells, and the contribution of the separator to cell resistance. Here, we report the size-dependent crossover behavior of a series of redox-active vanadium(III) acetoacetonate, and two polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters, [V6O7(OR)12] (R = CH3, C5H11) through separators derived from polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs). We find that highly efficacious active-material blocking requires both increasing the size of the vanadium species and restricting pore swelling of the PIMs in nonaqueous electrolyte. Notably, increasing the size of the vanadium species does not significantly affect its redox reversibility, and reducing swelling decreases the conductivity of the separator by only 50%. By pairing polyoxometalate clusters with PIM membranes in nonaqueous redox-flow batteries, more efficient systems may well be within reach.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials with the advantages of renewability, environment-friendliness, low cost, and high capacity have received widespread attention in recent years for sodium-ion batteries. However, small molecular organic materials suffer from issues such as low conductivity and the high dissolution rate in electrolytes. Herein, a phthalocyanine derivative (TPcDS) with a large non-localized π-electron system, obtained through thermodynamic polymerization of 4-aminophthalonitrile (AP) monomers, is designed to address these issues. According to the density function theory calculation, six sodium ions can be attracted by one polymer molecule, indicating a high theoretical capacity of 375 mA h g-1 . The TPcDS molecule realizes sodium storage through a non-localized π-electron system of phthalocyanine macrocycles. When employed as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries, the functional groups of phthalocyanine macrocycles, such as CN groups in TPcDS, experience obviously reversible structural variation upon discharge/charge. A high reversible capacity of 364 mAh g-1 is achieved at a current density of 0.05 A g-1 , and a charge capacity of as high as 246 mAh g-1 is still maintained after 500 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 . This work provides an effective strategy for the design and synthesis of new oligomeric organic electrode materials.

Abstract
To face the challenge of all-climate application, organic rechargeable batteries must hold the capability of efficiently operating both at high temperatures (>50 °C) and low temperatures (-20 °C). However, the low electronic conductivity and high solubility of organic molecules significantly impede the development in electrochemical energy storage. This issue can be effectively diminished using functionalized porphyrin complex-based organic cathodes by the in-situ electropolymerization of electrodes at elevating temperatures during electrochemical cycling. [5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato]copper(II) (CuDEPP)- and 5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato (DEPP)-based cathodes are proposed as models, and it is proved that a largely improved electrochemical performance is observed in both cathodes at a high operating temperature. Reversible capacities of 249 and 105 mA h g-1 are obtained for the CuDEPP and DEPP cathodes after 1000 cycles at 50 °C, respectively. The result indicates that the temperature-induced in situ electropolymerization strategy responds to the enhanced electrochemical performance. This study would open new opportunities for developing highly stable organic cathodes for electrochemical energy storage even at high temperatures.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS Functionalized porphyrin complexes are proposed as new pseudocapacitive cathodes for SIBs based on four-electron transfer. The presence of copper(II) ion partially contributes the charge storage and significantly stabilizes the structure of porphyrin complex for electrochemical energy storage. The electrochemical polymerization of porphyrin complex through the ethynyl groups in self-stabilization process contributes to high rate capability and excellent cycling stability. ABSTRACT Sodium-organic batteries utilizing natural abundance of sodium element and renewable active materials gain great attentions for grid-scale applications. However, the development is still limited by lack of suitable organic cathode materials with high electronic conductivity that can be operated stably in liquid electrolyte. Herein, we present 5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin (DEPP) and [5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato]copper(II) (CuDEPP) as new cathodes for extremely stable sodium-organic batteries. The copper(II) ion partially contributes the charge storage and significantly stabilizes the structure of porphyrin complex for electrochemical energy storage. In situ electrochemical stabilization of organic cathode with a lower charging current density was identified which enables both improved high energy density and power density. An excellent long-term cycling stability up to 600 cycles and an extremely high power density of 28 kW kg−1 were achieved for porphyrin-based cathode. This observation would open new pathway for developing highly stable sodium-organic cathode for electrochemical energy storage.

Abstract
Enabling high-performing alkali metal anodes at low temperature and in lean electrolyte conditions is critical for the advancement of next-generation batteries with high energy density and improved safety. We present an ether-ionic liquid composite electrolyte to tackle the problem of dendrite growth of metallic sodium anode at low temperatures ranging from 0 to -40 °C. This composite electrolyte enables a stable sodium metal anode to be deeply cycled at 2 mA cm-2 with an ultrahigh reversible capacity of 50 mAh cm-2 for 500 hours at -20 °C in lean electrolyte (1.0 μL mAh-1 ) conditions. Using the composite electrolyte, full cells with Na3 V2 (PO4 )3 as cathode and sodium metal as anode present a high capacity retention of 90.7 % after 1,000 cycles at 2C at -20 °C. The sodium-carbon dioxide batteries also exhibit a reversible capacity of 1,000 mAh g-1 over 50 cycles across a range of temperatures from -20 to 25 °C.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) operate by storing electrons on soluble molecular anolytes and catholytes, and large increases in the energy density of RFBs could be achieved if multiple electrons could be stored in each molecular analyte. Here, we report an organoaluminum analyte, [(I2P-)2Al]+, in which four electrons can be stored on organic ligands, and for which charging and discharging cycles performed in a symmetric nonaqueous RFB configuration remain stable for over 100 cycles at 70% state of charge and 97% Coulombic efficiency (I2P is a bis(imino)pyridine ligand). The stability of the analyte is promoted by the kinetic inertness of the anolyte to trace water in solvents and by the redox inertness of the Al(III) ion to the applied current. The solubility of the analyte was optimized by exchanging the counteranion for trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate), and the cell was further optimized using graphite rods as electrodes which, in comparison with glassy carbon and reticulated vitreous carbon, eliminated deposition of analyte on the electrode. Proof-of-principle experiments performed with an asymmetric NRFB configuration further demonstrate that up to four electrons can be stored in the cell with no degradation of the analyte over multiple cycles that show 96% Coulombic efficiency.

Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous batteries are an up-and-coming system for potential large-scale energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. However, the freeze of aqueous electrolyte limits the low-temperature operation of such batteries. Here, we report the breakage of original hydrogen-bond network in ZnCl2 solution by modulating electrolyte structure, and thus suppressing the freeze of water and depressing the solid-liquid transition temperature of the aqueous electrolyte from 0 to –114 °C. This ZnCl2-based low-temperature electrolyte renders polyaniline||Zn batteries available to operate in an ultra-wide temperature range from –90 to +60 °C, which covers the earth surface temperature in record. Such polyaniline||Zn batteries are robust at –70 °C (84.9 mA h g−1) and stable during over 2000 cycles with ~100% capacity retention. This work significantly provides an effective strategy to propel low-temperature aqueous batteries via tuning the electrolyte structure and widens the application range of temperature adaptation of aqueous batteries. Rechargeable aqueous batteries are promising for potential large-scale energy storage due to their high safety and low cost. Here the authors analyse a zinc chloride based low-temperature electrolyte for improving practicability of the aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Redox-flow batteries (RFBs) are a highly promising large-scale energy storage technology for mitigating the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. Here, the design and implementation of a micellization strategy in an anthraquinone-based, pH-neutral, nontoxic, and metal-free aqueous RFB is reported. The micellization strategy (1) improves stability by protecting the redox-active anthraquinone core with a hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) shell and (2) increases the overall size to mitigate the crossover issue through a physical blocking mechanism. Paired with a well-established potassium ferrocyanide catholyte, the micelle-based RFB displayed an excellent capacity retention of 90.7 % after 3600 charge/discharge cycles (28.3 days), corresponding to a capacity retention of 99.67 % per day and 99.998 % per cycle. The mechanistic studies of redox-active materials were also conducted and indicated the absence of side reactions commonly observed in other anthraquinone-based RFBs. The outstanding performance of the RFB demonstrates the effectiveness of the micellization strategy for enhancing the performance of organic material-based aqueous RFBs.

Abstract
Nature-derived organic small molecules, as energy-storage materials, provide low-cost, recyclable, and non-toxic alternatives to inorganic and polymer electrodes for lithium-/sodium-ion batteries and beyond. Some organic carbonyl compounds have met or exceeded the voltages and gravimetric storage capacities achieved by traditional transition metal oxide-based compounds due to the metal-ion coupled redox and facile electron-transport capability of functional groups. Stability issues that previously limited the capacity of small organic molecules can be remediated with reactions to form insoluble salts, noncovalent interactions (hydrogen bonding and π stacking), loading onto substrates, and careful electrolyte selection. The cost-effectiveness and sustainability of organic materials may further be improved by employing porphyrin-based electrodes and multivalent-ion batteries utilizing abundant metals, such as aluminum and zinc. Finally, redox flow batteries take advantage of the solubility of organics for the development of scalable, high power density, and safe energy-storage devices based on aqueous electrolytes. Herein, the advantages and prospects of small molecule-based electrodes, with a focus on nature-derived organic and biomimetic materials, to realize the next-generation of green battery chemistry are reviewed.

Abstract
Rechargeable potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale electrochemical energy-storage applications because of the abundance and low cost of potassium. However, the development of KIBs is hampered by the lack of stable and high-capacity cathode materials. Herein, a functionalized porphyrin complex, [5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphinato]copper(II) (CuDEPP), was proposed as a new cathode for rechargeable potassium batteries. Spectroscopy and molecular simulation studies were used to show that both PF6 - and K+ interact with the porphyrin macrocycle to allow a four-electron transfer. In addition, the electrochemical polymerization of the ethynyl functional groups in CuDEPP resulted in the self-stabilization of the cathode, which was highly stable during cycling. This unique charge storage mechanism enabled CuDEPP to provide a capacity of 181 mAh g-1 with an average potential of 2.8 V (vs. K+ /K). These findings could open a pathway towards the design of new stable organic electrodes for KIBs.

Abstract
We report two corrole based donor–acceptor (D–A) dyads, Cbz-Cor and Ptz-Cor to understand the energy/electron transfer reactions. In these D–A systems, the donor, either carbazole (Cbz) or phenothiazine (Ptz), is covalently connected at the meso-phenyl position of 10-(phenyl)-5,15-bis-(pentafluorophenyl)corrole (Ph-Cor) by C–N linkage. Both the dyads were characterized by 1H NMR, MALDI-TOF MS, UV-vis, electrochemical, computational methods, study state fluorescence and TCSPC techniques. A comparison of absorption spectra with their reference monomeric compounds (Cbz-Ph, Ptz-Ph and Ph-Cor) revealed minimal ground-state interactions between chromophores in both dyads. Fluorescence studies suggested that singlet–singlet energy transfer from 1Cbz* to corrole is the major photochemical pathway in the Cbz-Cor dyad with a quenching efficiency of [Formula: see text]99%. Detailed analysis of the data suggests that Forster’s dipole–dipole mechanism does not adequately explain this energy transfer. However, at a 410 nm excitation, florescence quenching is detected in Ptz-Cor (49%) supporting a photo induced electron transfer (PET) process from the ground state of PTZ to the excited state of corrole macrocycle. The electron-transfer rates ([Formula: see text] of Ptz-Cor are found in the range [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] and are concluded to be solvent dependent.

Abstract
Organic redox compounds have shown promising potential as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Polymerization is an effective and feasible method to prevent rapid capacity decay. However, present conjugated polymers and nonconjugated polymers have their own limitations to constructing stable and high-performance electrodes. Herein, we report a novel polyimide NDI-O, which is connected by carbonyl bridges. The NDI-O is a p-π conjugated polymer that exhibits a high gravimetric energy density of 542 W h kg-1 and an ultrahigh power density of 14,000 W kg-1 due to its intriguing electronic properties. The combination of molecular electrostatic potential calculations and ex situ technologies reveals the lithium-ion storage mechanism during the charge and discharge processes. The orbital distribution calculations and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests have been shown to verify the excellent kinetic properties of NDI-O. This work expands the scope of polymers applied for LIBs and provides new methods to construct high-performance electrode materials for sustainable batteries.

Abstract
Non-aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) are promising energy storage devices owing to the broad electrochemical window of organic solvents. Nonetheless, the wide application of these batteries has been limited by the low stability and limited solubility of organic materials, as well as the insufficient ion conductivity of the cell separators in non-aqueous electrolytes. In this study, two viologen analogues with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) tails are designed as anolytes for non-aqueous RFBs. The PEGylation of viologen not only enhances the solubility in acetonitrile but also increases the overall molecular size for alleviated crossover. In addition, a composite nanoporous aramid nanofiber separator, which allows the permeation of supporting ions while inhibiting the crossover of the designer viologens, is developed using a scalable doctor-blading method. Paired with ferrocene, the full organic material-based RFB presents excellent cyclability (500 cycles) with a retention capacity per cycle of 99.93% and an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.3% at a current density of 2.0 mA/cm2. The high performance of the PEGylated viologen validates the potential of the PEGylation strategy for enhanced organic material-based non-aqueous RFBs.

Abstract
Porphyrin complexes are well-known for their application in solar-cell systems and as catalysts; however, their use in electrochemical energy-storage applications has scarcely been studied. Here, a tetra-alkenyl-substituted [5,10,15,20-tetra(ethynyl)porphinato]copper(II) (CuTEP) complex was used as anode material in a high-performance lithium-free CuTEP/PP14 TFSI/graphite cell [PP14 TFSI=1-butyl-1-methylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide]. Thereby, the influence of size and morphology on the electrochemical performance of the cell was thoroughly investigated. Three different nanocrystal CuTEP morphologies, namely nanobricks, nanosheets, and nanoribbons, were studied as anode material, and the best cyclability and highest rate capability were obtained for the nanoribbon samples. A high specific power density of 14 kW kg-1 (based on active material) and excellent rechargeability were achieved with negligible capacity decay over 1000 cycles at a high current density of 5 A g-1 . These results indicate that the porphyrin complex CuTEP could be a promising electrode material in high-performance lithium-free batteries.

Abstract
Redox-active organic materials have been considered as one of the most promising "green" candidates for aqueous redox flow batteries (RFBs) due to the natural abundance, structural diversity, and high tailorability. However, many reported organic molecules are employed in the anode, and molecules with highly reversible capacity for the cathode are limited. Here, a class of heteroaromatic phenothiazine derivatives is reported as promising positive materials for aqueous RFBs. Among these derivatives, methylene blue (MB) possesses high reversibility with extremely fast redox kinetics (electron-transfer rate constant of 0.32 cm s-1 ), excellent stability in both neutral and reduced states, and high solubility in an acetic-acid-water solvent, leading to a high reversible capacity of ≈71 Ah L-1 . Symmetric RFBs based on MB electrolyte demonstrate remarkable stability with no capacity decay over 1200 cycles. Even concentrated MB catholyte (1.5 m) is still able to deliver stable capacity over hundreds of cycles in a full cell system. The impressive cell performance validates the practicability of MB for large-scale electrical energy storage.

Abstract
Organic materials are both environmentally and economically attractive as potential electrode candidates. This Research News reports on a new class of stable and electrically conductive organic electrodes based on metal porphyrins with functional groups that are capable of electrochemical polymerization, rendering the materials promising for electrochemical applications. Their structural flexibility and the unique highly conjugated macrocyclic structure allows the produced organic electrodes to act as both cathode and anode materials giving access to fast charging as well as high cycling stability. The extreme thermal and chemical stability of the porphyrin-based organic electrodes and their chemical versatility suggest an important role for these molecular systems in the further development of novel electrochemical energy storage applications.
