Abstract
Porous materials synthesized through bottom-up approaches, such as metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks, have attracted attention owing to their design flexibility for functional materials. However, achieving the chemical and thermal stability of these materials for various applications is challenging considering the reversible coordination bonds and irreversible covalent bonds in their frameworks. Thus, ordered carbonaceous frameworks (OCFs) emerge as a promising class of bottom-up materials with good periodicity, thermal and chemical stability, and electrical conductivity. However, a few OCFs have been reported owing to the limited range of precursor molecules. Herein, we designed a hexaazatrinaphthylene-based molecule with enediyne groups as a precursor molecule for synthesizing an OCF. The solid-state Bergman cyclization of enediyne groups at a low temperature formed a microporous polymer and an OCF, exhibiting redox activity and demonstrating their potential for electrochemical applications. The microporous polymer was used as an active material in sodium-ion batteries, while the OCF was used as an electrochemical capacitor. These findings illustrate the utility of the Bergman cyclization reaction for synthesizing microporous polymers and OCFs with a customizable functionality for broad applications.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134808. [PMID: 38861903 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
The release of carbon disulfide can have adverse effects on our environment and human health. The stability of carbon disulfide and the slow kinetics of hydrolysis can make it challenging to achieve efficient and practical cleavage of the CS bonds. Herein, a calix[4]arene-based porous organic polymer (CPOP-1) is innovatively synthesized through an optimized polycondensation reaction using C-Methylcalix[4]resorcinarene and hexafluoro-hexaazatriphenylene as monomers. Subsequently, palladium-induced calix[4]arene-based porous organic polymer was also synthesized via strong Pd-N coordination bonds to construct the metal-induced porous catalyst (CPOP-2). The polymeric catalyst active center [Pd2+(N^N)(NO3-)2] demonstrated outstanding catalytic hydrolysis performance (11.14 μmol g-1 h-1) in 10.5 h which is significantly enhanced by ca.13.2 times as compared to reported mononuclear Bpy-Pd(NO3)2, and 7.07 times than model trinuclear complex catalyst HATN-Pd-1, respectively. The control experiments revealed that POP catalysts showcased robust stability, prolonged effectiveness, and feasible recyclability during the hydrolytic cleavage of carbon disulfide at room temperature in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, the coordination environment of [Pd2+(N^N)] was validated through XPS, EXAFS, and isotope labeling measurements, and the hydrolysis cleavage products were confirmed e. g. CO2, sulfide, and protons. More importantly, a reaction mechanism was formulated coupled with theoretical calculations, and simulations. The proposed mechanism involves sequential OH- nucleophilic attacks on the carbon atoms of insert-coordinated CS2 and COS, leading to the cleavage of double CS bonds and the formation of CO bonds. The concurrent dissociation of the C-S bond and liberation of CO2 result in an intermediate structure characterized by [(N^N)Pd2+](SH-)2. This intermediate motif serves as the source of the thermodynamic driving force for the reaction.

Abstract
Redox-active organic molecules have potential as electrode materials, but their cycling stability is often limited by the irreversible formation of σ-bonds from the radical intermediates. Herein, we present an effective approach to achieve high reversibility by using lone pair electrons to mediate intramolecular radical-radical coupling. Azatriangulenetrione (1) was examined as the anode in sodium-ion batteries, which displayed a reversible four-step, one-electron redox chemistry. In situ electron spin resonance, ex situ Fourier transform infrared/X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculation revealed that the unstable radical anions can couple with each other through the lone pair electrons of the central nitrogen atom, leading to stabilized radical species. Furthermore, scan-rate-dependent cyclic voltammetry measurements and galvanostatic intermittent titration techniques demonstrated that the redox reaction kinetics for radical formation were much faster than the radical paring process. This study offers deep insights into the design of highly reversible organic electrodes.

Abstract
Due to the unique "Grotthus mechanism", aqueous proton batteries (APBs) are promising energy devices with intrinsic safety and sustainability. Although polymers with tunable molecular structures are ideal electrode materials, their unsatisfactory proton-storage redox behaviors hinder the practical application in APB devices. Herein, a novel planar phenazine (PPHZ) polymer with a robust and extended imine-rich skeleton is synthesized and used for APB application for the first time. The long-range planar configuration achieves ordered molecular stacking and reduced conformational disorder, while the high conjugation with strong π-electron delocalization optimizes energy bandgap and electronic properties, enabling the polymer with low proton diffusion barriers, high redox activity, and superior electron affinity. As such, the PPHZ polymer as an electrode material exhibits fast, stable, and unrivaled proton-storage redox behaviors with a large capacity of 273.3 mAh g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 (1 C) in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte, which is the highest value among proton-inserted electrodes in aqueous acidic electrolytes. Dynamic in situ techniques confirm the high redox reversibility upon proton uptake/removal, and the corresponding protonation pathways are elucidated by theoretical calculations. Moreover, a pouch-type APB cell using PPHZ electrode exhibits an ultralong lifespan over 30 000 cycles, further verifying its promising application prospect.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) are a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage, attributing to the abundant reserves, low cost, intrinsic safety, and high theoretical capacity of Al. However, the cathode materials reported thus far still face challenges such as limited capacity, sluggish kinetics, and undesirable cycle life. Herein, we propose an organic cathode benzo[i] benzo[6,7] quinoxalino [2,3-a] benzo [6,7] quinoxalino [2,3-c] phenazine-5,8,13,16,21,24-hexaone (BQQPH) for RABs. The six C=O and six C=N redox active sites in each molecule enable BQQPH to deliver a record ultra-high capacity of 413 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1. Encouragingly, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding network and π-π stacking interactions endow BQQPH with robust structural stability and minimal solubility, enabling an ultra-long lifetime of 100,000 cycles. Moreover, the electron-withdrawing carbonyl group induces a reduction in the energy level of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital and expands the π-conjugated system, which considerably enhances both the discharge voltage and redox kinetics of BQQPH. In situ and ex situ characterizations combined with theoretical calculations unveil that the charge storage mechanism is reversible coordination/dissociation of AlCl2 + with the N and O sites in BQQPH accompanied by 12-electron transfer. This work provides valuable insights into the design of high-performance organic cathode materials for RABs.

Abstract
Carbonyl or imine-based compounds have received a great deal of attention due to their high specific capacity and designability as cathodes for aqueous rechargeable organo-aluminum batteries. However, the inherent low conductivity and high solubility of carbonyl and imine-based compounds severely affect the cycling stability of aluminum batteries. Therefore, it is urgent to find an organic cathodes material with low solubility and good cycling performance. In this work, dibenzo[a,c]dibenzo[5,6:7,8]quinoxalino[2,3-i]phenazine-10,21-dione (DDQP) were synthesized by simple dehydration condensation to form new imine covalent bonds, which led to the synthesis of imine-conjugated backbone structures with carbonyl, extended π-conjugation planes, and increased active sites, resulting in increased specific capacities. Its storage mechanism with Al(OTF)2+ has also been confirmed. This monovalent ion usually possesses a lower coulombic interaction, which leads to a reduced solubility of DDQP during redox processes and improves its cyclic stability. The specific capacity of DDQP is 252.22 mAh/g at a current density of 400 mA g-1. After cycling, the discharge specific capacity remains at 219 mAh/g. Surprisingly, the conductivity of the battery also is improved by this structure of multiple active sites. And it can be further confirmed by theoretical calculations that the synthesis of DDQP realigns the arrangement of the electron cloud, enhances the electron affinity, and reduces the energy gap. This study provides a new reference for improving the performance of aqueous organic aluminum batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium battery is regarded as the promising candidate for the next generation of high-specific-energy storage systems. Nevertheless, issues related to severe Mg-Cl dissociation at the electrolyte-electrode interface impede the insertion of Mg2+ into most materials, leading to severe polarization and low utilization of Mg-storage electrodes. In this study, a metal-organic polymer (MOP) Ni-TABQ (Ni-coordinated tetramino-benzoquinone) with superior surface catalytic activity is proposed to achieve the high-capacity Mg-MOP battery. The layered Ni-TABQ cathode, featuring a unique 2D π-d linear conjugated structure, effectively reduces the dissociation energy of MgxCly clusters at the Janus interface, thereby facilitating Mg2+ insertion. Due to the high utilization of active sites, Ni-TABQ achieves high capacities of 410 mAh/g at 200 mA g-1, attributable to a four-electron redox process involving two redox centers, benzoid carbonyls, and imines. This research highlights the importance of surface electrochemical processes in rechargeable magnesium batteries and paves the way for future development in multivalent metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Developing the films of N-containing unsubstituted poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) films for diverse applications is significant and highly desirable because the replacement of sp2 C atoms with sp2 N atoms will bring novel properties to the as-prepared polymers. In this research, an electrochemical-dehalogenation polymerization strategy is employed to construct two N-containing PPP films under constant potentials, where 2,5-diiodopyridine (DIPy) and 2,5-dibromopyrazine (DBPz) are used as starting agents. The corresponding polymers are named CityU-23 (for polypyridine) and CityU-24 (for polypyrazine). Moreover, it is found that both polymers can form films in situ on different conductive substrates (i.e., silicon, gold, ITO, and nickel), satisfying potential device fabrication. Furthermore, the as-obtained thin films of CityU-23 and CityU-24 exhibit good performance of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction with the overpotential of 212.8 and 180.7 mV and the Tafel slope of 157.0 and 122.4 mV dec-1, respectively.

Abstract
Organic electrodes that embrace multiple electron transfer and efficient redox reactions are desirable for green energy storage batteries. Here, a novel organic electrode material is synthesized, i.e., 2, 2'-((disulfanediylbis (4, 1-phenylene)) bis(azanediyl)) bis (naphthalene-1, 4-dione) (MNQ), through a simple click reaction between common carbonyl and organosulfur compounds and demonstrate its application potential as a high-performance cathode material in rechargeable lithium batteries. MNQ exhibits the aggregation effect of redox-active functional groups, the advantage of fast reaction kinetics from molecular structure evolution, and the decreased solubility in aprotic electrolytes resulting from intermolecular interactions. As expected, the MNQ electrode exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 281.2 mA h g-1 at 0.5 C, equivalent to 97.9% of its theoretical capacity, and sustains stable long-term cycling performance of over 1000 cycles at 1 C. This work adds a new member to the family of organic electrode materials, providing performance-efficient organic molecules for the design of rechargeable battery systems, which will undoubtedly spark great interest in their applications.

Abstract
Rechargeable sodium batteries hold great promise for circumventing the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and the limited supply of lithium. However, efficient sodium ion storage remains a great impediment in this field. In this study, we report the designed synthesis of a multifunctional two-dimensional covalent organic framework featuring hexaazatrinaphthalene cores linked by imidazole moieties and demonstrate its effective performance in sodium ion storage. Benzimidazole-linked covalent organic framework (BCOF-1) was synthesized by a condensation reaction between hexaazatrinaphthalenehexamine (HATNHA) and terephthalaldehyde (TA) and exhibited a high theoretical specific capacity of 392 mA h g-1. BCOF-1 crystallizes, forming eclipsed AA stacking and mesoporous hexagonal one-dimensional channels with high surface area (840 m2 g-1), facilitating fast ionic mobility and charge transfer and enabling high-rate capability at high current rates. BCOF-1 exhibits pseudocapacitive-like behavior with a high specific capacity of 387 mA h g-1, an energy density of 302 W h kg-1 at 0.1 C, and a power density of 682 W kg-1 at 5 C. Our results demonstrate that redox-active COFs have the desired structural and electronic merits to advance the use of organic electrodes in sodium-ion storage toward sustainable and efficient batteries.

Abstract
One of the possible solutions to circumvent the sluggish kinetics, low capacity, and poor integrity of inorganic cathodes commonly used in rechargeable aluminium batteries (RABs) is the use of redox-active polymers as cathodes. They are not only sustainable materials characterised by their structure tunability, but also exhibit a unique ion coordination redox mechanism that makes them versatile ion hosts suitable for voluminous aluminium cation complexes, as demonstrated by the poly(quinoyl) family. Recently, phenazine-based compounds have been found to have high capacity, reversibility and fast redox kinetics in aqueous electrolytes because of the presence of a CN double bond. Here, we present one of the first examples of a phenazine-based hybrid microporous polymer, referred to as IEP-27-SR, utilized as an organic cathode in an aluminium battery with an AlCl3/EMIMCl ionic liquid electrolyte. The preliminary redox and charge storage mechanism of IEP-27-SR was confirmed by ex situ ATR-IR and EDS analyses. The introduction of phenazine active units in a robust microporous framework resulted in a remarkable rate capability (specific capacity of 116 mA h g-1 at 0.5C with 77% capacity retention at 10C) and notable cycling stability, maintaining 75% of its initial capacity after 3440 charge-discharge cycles at 1C (127 days of continuous cycling). This superior performance compared to reported Al//n-type organic cathode RABs is attributed to the stable 3D porous microstructure and the presence of micro/mesoporosity in IEP-27-SR, which facilitates electrolyte permeability and improves kinetics.

Abstract
Efficient and affordable batteries require the design of novel organic electrode materials to overcome the drawbacks of the traditionally used inorganic materials, and the computational screening of potential candidates is a very efficient way to identify prospective solutions and minimize experimental testing. Here we present a DFT high-throughput computational screening where 86 million molecules contained in the PUBCHEM database have been analyzed and classified according to their estimated electrochemical features. The 5445 top-performing candidates were identified, and among them, 2306 are expected to have a one-electron reduction potential higher than 4 V versus (Li/Li+ ). Analogously, one-electron energy densities higher than 800 Whkg-1 have been predicted for 626 molecules. Explicit calculations performed for certain materials show that at least 69 candidates with a two-electron energy density higher than 1300 Whkg-1 . Successful molecules were sorted into several families, some of them already commonly used electrode materials, and others still experimentally untested. Most of them are small systems containing conjugated CO, NN, or NC functional groups. Our selected molecules form a valuable starting point for experimentalists exploring new materials for organic electrodes.

Abstract
Rechargeable hydrogen gas batteries, driven by hydrogen evolution and oxidation reactions (HER/HOR), are emerging grid-scale energy storage technologies owing to their low cost and superb cycle life. However, compared with aqueous electrolytes, the HER/HOR activities in nonaqueous electrolytes have rarely been studied. Here, for the first time, we develop a nonaqueous proton electrolyte (NAPE) for a high-performance hydrogen gas-proton battery for all-climate energy storage applications. The advanced nonaqueous hydrogen gas-proton battery (NAHPB) assembled with a representative V2(PO4)3 cathode and H2 anode in a NAPE exhibits a high discharge capacity of 165 mAh g-1 at 1 C at room temperature. It also efficiently operates under all-climate conditions (from -30 to +70 °C) with an excellent electrochemical performance. Our findings offer a new direction for designing nonaqueous proton batteries in a wide temperature range.

Abstract
Organic small-molecule compounds have become promising cathode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high theoretical capacity, efficient utilization of active sites, low cost, and sustainability. However, severe dissolution and poor electronic conductivity limit their further practical applications. Herein, we have synthesized an insoluble organic small molecule, ferrocenyl-3-(λ1-azazyl) pyrazinyl [2,3-f] [1,10] phenanthrolino-2-amine (FCPD), by grafting ferrocene onto pyrazino[2,3-f] [1,10] phenanthroline-2,3-diamine (PPD). The combination of ferrocene (p-type Fe2+ moiety) and PPD (n-type C[double bond, length as m-dash]N groups) in a bipolar manner endows the target FCPD cathode with an increased theoretical capacity and a wide voltage window. The highly conjugated π-π aromatic skeleton inside enhances FCPD's electron delocalization and promotes strong interaction between FCPD units. Additionally, the mesoporous structure within the FCPD can provide numerous electroactive sites, contact area, and ion diffusion channels. Benefiting from the bipolar feature, aromatic, and mesoporous structure, the FCPD cathode demonstrates a large capacity of 250 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, a long lifespan of 1000 cycles and a high-rate capability of 151 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 along with a wide voltage window (1.2-3.8 V). Additionally, in situ synchrotron FT-IR and ex situ XPS reveal its dual ion storage mechanism in depth. Our findings provide essential insights into exploring the molecular design of advanced organic small molecules.

Abstract
The decoupled battery design is promising for breaking the energy density limit of traditional aqueous batteries. However, the complex battery configuration and low-selective separator membranes restrict their energy output and service time. Herein, a zinc-sulfur decoupled aqueous battery is achieved by designing a high-mass loading sulfur electrode and single ion-selective membrane (ISM). A vertically assembled nanosheet network constructed with the assistance of a magnetic field enables facile electron and ion conduction in thick sulfur electrodes, which is conducive to boosting the cell-level energy output. For the tailored ISM, the Na ions anchored on its skeleton effectively prevent the crossover of OH- or Cu2+ , facilitating the transport of Na+ and ensuring structural and mechanical stability. Consequently, the Zn-S aqueous battery achieves a reversible energy density of 3988 Wh kgs -1 (by sulfur mass), stable operation over 300 cycles, and an energy density of 53.2 mWh cm-2 . The sulfur-based decoupled system may be of immediate benefit toward safe, reliable, and affordable static energy storage.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials (OEMs), valued for their sustainability and structural tunability, have been attracting increasing attention for wide application in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and other rechargeable batteries. However, most OEMs are plagued with insufficient specific capacity or poor cycling stability. Therefore, it's imperative to enhance their specific capacity and cycling stability through molecular design. Herein, we designed and synthesized a heteroaromatic molecule 2,3,8,9,14,15-hexanol hexaazatrinaphthalene (HATN-6OH) by the synergetic coupling of catechol (the precursor of ortho-quinone)/ortho-quinone functional groups and HATN conjugated core structures. The abundance of catechol/ortho-quinone and imine redox-active moieties delivers a high specific capacity of nine-electron transfer for SIBs. Most notably, the π-π interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bond forces among HATN-6OH molecules secure the stable long-term cycling performance of SIBs. Consequently, the as-prepared HATN-6OH electrode exhibited a high specific capacity (554 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), excellent rate capability (202 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 ), and stable long-term cycling performance (73 % after 3000 cycles at 10 A g-1 ) in SIBs. Additionally, the nine-electron transfer mechanism is confirmed by systematic density functional theory (DFT) calculation, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and Raman analysis. The achievement of the synergetic coupling of the redox-active sites on OEMs could be an important key to the enhancement of SIBs and other metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Multivalent ion batteries have emerged as promising solutions to meet the future demands of energy storage applications, offering not only high energy density but also diverse socio-economic advantages. Among the various options for cathodes, quinone-based organic compounds have gained attention as suitable active materials for multivalent ion batteries due to their well-aligned ion channels, flexible structures, and competitive electrochemical performance. However, the charge carriers associated with anions that are often exploited in multivalent ion battery systems operate by way of a "non-rocking-chair" mechanism, which requires the use of an excess amount of electrolyte and results in a significant decrease in the energy density. In this review, by categorizing the various charge carriers exploited in previous studies on multivalent ion batteries, we summarize recently reported quinone-based organic cathodes for multivalent ion batteries and emphasize the importance of accurately identifying the charge carriers for calculating the energy density. We also propose potential future directions toward the practical realization of multivalent ion batteries, in link with their efficient energy storage applications.

Abstract
Organic nanostructured electrodes are very attractive for next-generation sodium-ion batteries. Their great advantages in improved electron and ion transport and more exposed redox-active sites would lead to a higher actual capacity and enhanced rate performance. However, facile and cost-effective methods for the fabrication of nanostructured organic electrodes are still highly challenging and very rare. In this work, we utilize a bioinspired self-assembly strategy to fabricate nanostructured cathodes based on a rationally designed N-hydroxy naphthalene imide sodium salt (NDI-ONa) for high-performance sodium-organic batteries. Such a well-organized nanostructure can greatly enhance both ion and electron transport. When used as cathode for sodium-organic batteries, it provides among the best battery performances, such as high capacity (171 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), excellent rate performance (153 mA h g-1 at 5.0 A g-1), and ultralong cycling life (93% capacity retention after 20000 cycles at 3.0 A g-1). Even at low temperature or without a conductive additive, it can also perform well. It is believed that self-assembly is a very powerful strategy to construct high-performance nanostructured electrodes.

Abstract
Vinylene-linked covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging as promising crystalline materials, but their narrow pore engineering is severely impeded by the weak reversibility of the carbon-carbon double bond formation reaction, which has led to less exploration of their ultramicroporous structures and properties. Herein, we developed a single aromatic ring-based tetratopic monomer, tetramethylpyrazine, which undergoes a smooth Knoevenegal condensation at its four arylmethly carbon atoms with linear aromatic dialdehyde monomers upon the self-catalyzed activation of pyridine nitrogen-containing monomers in the presence of an organic anhydride. This has resulted in the formation of two vinylene-linked COFs, which both crystallized in orthorhombic lattices, and layered in AA stacking fashions along the vertical directions. They exhibit high surface areas and well-tailored ultramicropore sizes up to 0.5 nm. The unique cross-linking mode at two pairs of para-positions of each pyrazine unit through carbon-carbon double bonds afford them with π-extended conjugation over the in-plane backbones and substantial semiconducting characters. The resultant COFs can be well-dispersed in water to form stable sub-microparticles with negative charges (zeta potentials: ca. -30 mV), and exhibiting tunable aggregation behaviors through protonation/deprotonation. As a consequence, they exhibit pore-size-dependent colorimetric responses to various anions with different pKa values in high selectivity.

Abstract
Aluminum ion batteries (AIBs) are widely regarded as the most potential large-scale metal ion battery because of its high safety and environment-friendly characteristics. To solve the problem of weak electrical conductivity of organic materials, different structures of cyano organic molecules with electrophilic properties are selected as the cathode materials of aluminum batteries. Through experimental characterization and density functional theory theoretical calculation, Phthalonitrile is the best cathode material among the five organic molecules and proved that the C≡N group is the active site for insertion/extraction of AlCl2 + ions. The first cycle-specific capacity of the assembled flexible package battery is as high as 191.92 mAh g-1 , the discharge-specific capacity is 112.67 mAh g-1 after 1000 cycles, and the coulombic efficiency is ≈97%. At the same time, the influences of different molecular structures and functional groups on the battery are also proved. These research results lay a foundation for selecting safe and stable organic aluminum batteries and provide a new reference for developing high-performance AIBs.

Abstract
A donor-acceptor composed of two 3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazoles (DTCs) and fused pyrazine (Pyz; 1)-anthraquinone (AQ; 1) was successfully synthesized. The as-fabricated DTCz-Pyz-AQ/graphite foil (GF) electrode in supercapacitor (SC) applications exhibited excellent specific capacitance (Csp) of about 304. 37 F g-1 and 106.0 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 current density in three electrode and symmetric two electrode configurations of SC cells, respectively, accompanied by good cycling stability. The highest energy density of the SSC cell was found to be 15.94 W h kg-1 at 899.71 W kg-1 power density. As a proof of concept DTCz-Pyz-AQ/GF (D-A/GF) has great potential in energy storage (ES) applications.

Abstract
Recently, carbon nitrides and their carbon-based derivatives have been widely studied as anode materials of lithium-ion batteries due to their graphite-like structure and abundant nitrogen active sites. In this paper, a layered carbon nitride material C3N3 consisting of triazine rings with an ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity was designed and synthesized by an innovative method based on Fe powder-catalyzed carbon-carbon coupling polymerization of cyanuric chloride at 260 °C, with reference to the Ullmann reaction. The structural characterizations indicated that the as-synthesized material had a C/N ratio close to 1:1 and a layered structure and only contained one type of nitrogen, suggesting the successful synthesis of C3N3. When used as a lithium-ion battery anode, the C3N3 material showed a high reversible specific capacity up to 842.39 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, good rate capability, and excellent cycling stability attributed to abundant pyridine nitrogen active sites, large specific surface area, and good structure stability. Ex situ XPS results indicated that Li+ storage relies on the reversible transformation of -C=N- and -C-N- groups as well as the formation of bridge-connected -C=C- bonds. To further optimize the performance, the reaction temperature was further increased to synthesize a series of C3N3 derivatives for the enhanced specific surface area and conductivity. The resulting derivative prepared at 550 °C showed the best electrochemical performance, with an initial specific capacity close to 900 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and good cycling stability (94.3% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1). This work will undoubtedly inspire the further study of high-capacity carbon nitride-based electrode materials for energy storage.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials (OEMs) have shown enormous potential in ion batteries because of their varied structural components and adaptable construction. As a brand-new energy-storage device, rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (RAIBs) have also received a lot of attention due to their high safety and low cost. OEMs are expected to stand out among many traditional RAIB cathode materials. However, how to improve the electrochemical performance of OEMs in RAIBs on a laboratory scale is still challenging. This work reviews and discusses the uses of conductive polymers, carbonyl compounds, imine polymers, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organic frameworks, and other organic materials as the cathodes of RAIBs, as well as energy-storage mechanisms and research progress. It is hoped that this Review can provide the design guidelines for organic cathode materials with high capacity and great stability used in aluminum-organic batteries and develop more efficient organic energy storage cathodes.

Abstract
Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as the cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) received growing attention. Herein, a novel MOF, Ni-Ndi-trz (Ndi-trz=2,7-di(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetraone) was synthesized through a solvothermal method. Its rational design using a naphthalene diimide (Ndi) core allowed the formation of a four-fold interpenetrated pcu (primitive cubic) topology. The as-synthesized Ni-Ndi-trz is highly stable over a wide pH range (0-12) for 30 days, which is critical to ensure the decent cyclability of zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). When used as the cathode material of ZIBs, it shows a high initial specific capacity of 90.7 mAh g-1 and excellent cycling stability. Remarkably, three-electrode system tests, ex situ FTIR, UV/Vis and XPS spectra revealed that the Ndi core of Ni-Ndi-trz undergoes a reversible interconversion between the keto and enol forms when interacting with Zn2+ ions. This work may shed light on the feasibility of designing novel MOFs and exploring their mechanisms for zinc ion batteries.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable batteries are prospective candidates for large-scale grid energy storage. However, traditional anode materials applied lack acid-alkali co-tolerance. Herein, we report a covalent organic framework containing pyrazine (C=N) and phenylimino (-NH-) groups (HPP-COF) as a long-cycle and high-rate anode for both acidic and alkaline batteries. The HPP-COF's robust covalent linkage and the hydrogen bond network between -NH- and water molecules collectively improve the acid-alkaline co-tolerance. More importantly, the hydrogen bond network promotes the rapid transport of H+ /OH- by the Grotthuss mechanism. As a result, the HPP-COF delivers a superior capacity and cycle stability (66.6 mAh g-1 @ 30 A g-1 , over 40000 cycles in 1 M H2 SO4 electrolyte; 91.7 mAh g-1 @ 100 A g-1 , over 30000 cycles @ 30 A g-1 in 1 M NaOH electrolyte). The work opens a new direction for the structural design and application of COF materials in acidic and alkaline batteries.

Abstract
Aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are a promising candidate for large-scale energy storage due to the abundant reserves, low cost, good safety, and high theoretical capacity of Al. However, AIBs with inorganic positive electrodes still suffer from sluggish kinetics and structural collapse upon cycling. Herein, we propose a novel p-type poly(vinylbenzyl-N-phenoxazine) (PVBPX) positive electrode for AIBs. The dual active sites enable PVBPX to deliver a high capacity of 133 mAh g-1 at 0.2 A g-1 . More impressively, the expanded π-conjugated construction, insolubility, and anionic redox chemistry without bond rearrangement of PVBPX for AIBs contribute to an amazing ultra-long lifetime of 50000 cycles. The charge storage mechanism is that the AlCl4 - ions can reversibly coordinate/dissociate with the N and O sites in PVBPX sequentially, which is evidenced by both experimental and theoretical results. These findings establish a foundation to advance organic AIBs for large-scale energy storage.

Abstract
Organic positive electrodes featuring lightweight and tunable energy storage modes by molecular structure engineering have promising application prospects in dual-ion batteries. Herein, a series of highly porous covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) were synthesized under ionothermal conditions using fluorinated aromatic nitrile monomers containing a piperazine ring. Fluorinated monomers can result in more defects in CTFs, leading to a higher surface area up to 2515 m2 g-1 and a higher N content of 11.34 wt % compared to the products from the non-fluorinated monomer. The high surface area and abundant redox sites of these CTFs afforded high specific capacities (up to 279 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 ), excellent rate performance (89 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ), and durable cycling performance (92.3 % retention rate after 500 cycles at 2.0 A g-1 ) as dual-ion positive electrodes.

Abstract
Aluminum batteries (ABs) have triggered increasing interest due to the geochemically abundant aluminum, high theoretical energy density, and excellent safety characteristics. Organic materials with engineered active groups have the advantages of low cost, flexible structural design, and benignity to the environment. Herein, we report an appropriately heat treated aromatic carbonyl derivative PTCDA/500 °C as an organic cathode material for ABs. The constructed aluminum organic batteries exhibited excellent cycling stability, with a capacity retention rate of 91% (111 mAh/g) after 200 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA/g and also displayed the more excellent rate capability at different current densities. In addition, the electrochemical reaction mechanism of AlCl2+ and PTCDA was studied based on density functional theory (DFT) as well as the ion diffusion behavior on the electrode surface being probed. The research results provide new ideas for the development of green and sustainable aluminum organic batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable organic multivalent metal-ion batteries (MMIBs) have attracted a surge of interest as promising alternatives for large-scale energy storage applications because they can combine the advantages of both organic electrodes and multivalent metal-ion batteries. However, the development of organic MMIBs is hampered by many factors, which mean they lag far behind organic alkali-metal- (e.g., Li-, Na-, and K-) ion batteries. Herein, the challenges that are specifically faced by organic MMIBs are analyzed and the strategies that can probably solve such challenges are then discussed. As a special challenge that organic MMIBs are facing, the charge-storage mechanism is particularly underlined to deeply understand the structure-property relationships for guiding the future design of high-performance organic electrodes for MMIBs. The perspectives are thereby elaborated in this review with the outlook of practical applications of organic MMIBs.

Abstract
AbstractOrganic electrode materials (OEMs) can deliver remarkable battery performance for metal-ion batteries (MIBs) due to their unique molecular versatility, high flexibility, versatile structures, sustainable organic resources, and low environmental costs. Therefore, OEMs are promising, green alternatives to the traditional inorganic electrode materials used in state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries. Before OEMs can be widely applied, some inherent issues, such as their low intrinsic electronic conductivity, significant solubility in electrolytes, and large volume change, must be addressed. In this review, the potential roles, energy storage mechanisms, existing challenges, and possible solutions to address these challenges by using molecular and morphological engineering are thoroughly summarized and discussed. Molecular engineering, such as grafting electron-withdrawing or electron-donating functional groups, increasing various redox-active sites, extending conductive networks, and increasing the degree of polymerization, can enhance the electrochemical performance, including its specific capacity (such as the voltage output and the charge transfer number), rate capability, and cycling stability. Morphological engineering facilitates the preparation of different dimensional OEMs (including 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D OEMs) via bottom-up and top-down methods to enhance their electron/ion diffusion kinetics and stabilize their electrode structure. In summary, molecular and morphological engineering can offer practical paths for developing advanced OEMs that can be applied in next-generation rechargeable MIBs.

Abstract
Organic materials are competitive as anodes for Na-ion batteries (NIBs) due to the low cost, abundance, environmental benignity, and high sustainability. Herein, we synthesized three halogenated carboxylate-based organic anode materials to exploit the impact of halogen atoms (F, Cl, and Br) on the electrochemical performance of carboxylate anodes in NIBs. The fluorinated carboxylate anode, disodium 2, 5-difluoroterephthalate (DFTP-Na), outperforms the other carboxylate anodes with H, Cl, and Br, in terms of high specific capacity (212 mA h g-1), long cycle life (300 cycles), and high rate capability (up to 5 A g-1). As evidenced by the experimental and computational results, the two F atoms in DFTP reduce the solubility, enhance the cyclic stability, and interact with Na+ during the redox reaction, resulting in a high-capacity and stable organic anode material in NIBs. Therefore, this work proves that fluorinating carboxylate compounds is an effective approach to developing high-performance organic anodes for stable and sustainable NIBs.

Abstract
A novel hexaazatrinaphthylene-based (HATN) azo polymer (PAH) was synthesized from a newly designed tri-nitro compound trinitrodiquinoxalino[2,3-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (HATNTN) through a Zn-induced reductive homocoupling reaction and used as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The integration of redox-active HATN units and azo linkages can improve the specific capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability of the PAH cathode. The control LIBs were assembled from HATNTN, in which HATNTN can be electrochemically reduced to an HATN-based azo polymer. Compared with the HATNTN cathode, the PAH cathode delivers higher specific capacities with much-improved cycling stability (97 mA h g-1 capacity retention after 1500 cycles at 500 mA g-1, which is around 28 times that of the HATNTN cathode) and considerably better rate performance (118 mA h g-1 at 2000 mA g-1, which is around 90 times that of the HATNTN cathode), simultaneously. This work provides a chemical polymerization strategy to construct extended π-conjugated azo polymers with multiple redox centers from nitro compounds for developing high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) have been paid considerable attention in the field of electrochemical energy storage batteries due to their advantages of low cost, good safety, high capacity, long cycle life, and good wide-temperature performance. Unlike traditional single-ion rocking chair batteries, more than two kinds of active ions are electrochemically participated in the reaction processes on the positive and negative electrodes for nonaqueous RABs, so the reaction kinetics and battery electrochemistries need to be given more comprehensive assessments. In addition, although nonaqueous RABs have made significant breakthroughs in recent years, they are still facing great challenges in insufficient reaction kinetics, low energy density, and serious capacity attenuation. Here, the research progresses of positive materials are comprehensively summarized, including carbonaceous materials, oxides, elemental S/Se/Te and chalcogenides, as well as organic materials. Later, different modification strategies are discussed to improve the reaction kinetics and battery performance, including crystal structure control, morphology and architecture regulation, as well as flexible design. Finally, in view of the current research challenges faced by nonaqueous RABs, the future development trend is proposed. More importantly, it is expected to gain key insights into the development of high-performance positive materials for nonaqueous RABs to meet practical energy storage requirements.

Abstract
In the present scenario, much importance has been provided to hydrogen energy systems (HES) in the energy sector because of their clean and green behavior during utilization. The developments of novel techniques and materials have focused on overcoming the practical difficulties in the HES (production, storage and utilization). Comparatively, considerable attention needs to be provided in the hydrogen storage systems (HSS) because of physical-based storage (compressed gas, cold/cryo compressed and liquid) issues such as low gravimetric/volumetric density, storage conditions/parameters and safety. In material-based HSS, a high amount of hydrogen can be effectively stored in materials via physical or chemical bonds. In different hydride materials, Mg-based hydrides (Mg–H) showed considerable benefits such as low density, hydrogen uptake and reversibility. However, the inferior sorption kinetics and severe oxidation/contamination at exposure to air limit its benefits. There are numerous kinds of efforts, like the inclusion of catalysts that have been made for Mg–H to alter the thermodynamic-related issues. Still, those efforts do not overcome the oxidation/contamination-related issues. The developments of Mg–H encapsulated by gas-selective polymers can effectively and positively influence hydrogen sorption kinetics and prevent the Mg–H from contaminating (air and moisture). In this review, the impact of different polymers (carboxymethyl cellulose, polystyrene, polyimide, polypyrrole, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polymethylpentene, and poly(methyl methacrylate)) with Mg–H systems has been systematically reviewed. In polymer-encapsulated Mg–H, the polymers act as a barrier for the reaction between Mg–H and O2/H2O, selectively allowing the H2 gas and preventing the aggregation of hydride nanoparticles. Thus, the H2 uptake amount and sorption kinetics improved considerably in Mg–H.

Abstract
Poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPDA) has been recognized as a low-cost electroactive organic material and studied as a cathode for aqueous zinc batteries or as an anode for nonaqueous lithium batteries. However, there remains a lot of confusion about its synthesis, structure, and electrochemical application. Especially, the previously studied PoPDA samples were mostly synthesized at room temperature, which were proved by us to be just a dimer, that is, 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAPZ). By various characterization methods including elemental analysis and mass spectrometry, we verified that the product synthesized at high temperature, PoPDA-H, was a polymer based on DAPZ as the structural repeat unit and with some imperfect substitutes (OH and NH3+CH3COO-). Based on the reversible redox reaction of phenazine units and the stable polymer structure within 1.3-3.8 V vs Li+/Li, PoPDA-H was more appropriate to be applied as a cathode rather than as an anode for lithium batteries. It achieved a high energy density of 490 Wh kg-1 (2.12 V × 231 mAh g-1) at 50 mA g-1 and a high cycling stability (79%@1000th cycle) at 500 mA g-1, both of which were comparable to previously reported expensive pyrazine- and carbonyl-based polymers. This work clarifies many misunderstandings of PoPDA, which is important to its further development toward practical application in energy-storage devices.

Abstract
The development of cost‐effective and long‐life rechargeable aluminium ion batteries (AIBs) shows promising prospects for sustainable energy storage applications. Here, we report a heteroatom π‐conjugated polymer featuring synergistic C=O and C=N active centres as a new cathode material in AIBs using a low‐cost AlCl3/urea electrolyte. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal the fused C=N sites in the polymer not only benefit good π‐conjugation but also enhance the redox reactivity of C=O sites, which enables the polymer to accommodate four AlCl2(urea)2+ per repeating unit. By integrating the polymer with carbon nanotubes, the hybrid cathode exhibits a high discharge capacity and a long cycle life (295 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1 and 85 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 over 4000 cycles). The achieved specific energy density of 413 Wh kg−1 outperforms most Al–organic batteries reported to date. The synergistic redox‐active sites strategy sheds light on the rational design of organic electrode materials.

Abstract
Well-defined π-conjugated thiophene donor-acceptor molecules play an important role in different fields ranging from synthetic chemistry to materials science. Their chemical structure provides specific electronic and physicochemical properties, which can be further tuned by the introduction of functional groups. Herein, we design and synthesize two novel thiophene-based π-conjugated donor-acceptor molecules TDA-1 and TDA-2 through Aldol and Knoevenagel condensations. In our proof-of-concept study we report for the first time on the use of small organic molecules employed in aqueous zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors (Zn-HSCs),which exhibit capacitance as high as 206.7 and 235.2 F g-1 for TDA-1, and TDA-2, respectively.

Abstract
The key to enabling high energy density of organic energy-storage systems is the development of high-voltage organic cathodes; however, the redox voltage (<4.0 V vs Li/Li+) of state-of-the-art organic electrode materials (OEMs) remains unsatisfactory. Herein, we propose a novel dibromotetraoxapentacene (DBTOP) redox center to surpass the redox potential limit of OEMs, achieving ultrahigh discharge plateaus of approximately 4.4 V (vs Li+/Li). As theoretically analyzed, electron delocalization between dioxin active centers and benzene rings as well as electron-withdrawing bromine atoms endows the molecule with a low occupied molecular orbital level by diluting the electron density of dioxin in the whole p-π conjugated skeleton, and the strong π-π interactions among the DBTOP molecules provide a faster electrochemical kinetic pathway. This tetraoxapentacene redox center makes the working voltage of OEMS closer to the high-voltage inorganic electrodes, and its chemical and structural tunability may stimulate the further development of high-voltage organic cathodes.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of rechargeable Mg batteries (RMBs) is primarily determined by the cathodes. However, the strong interaction between highly polarized Mg2+ and the host lattice is a big challenge for inorganic cathode materials. While endowed with weak interaction with Mg2+ , organic polymers are capable of fast reaction kinetics. Besides, with the advantages of light weight, abundance, low cost, and recyclability, polymers are deemed as ideal cathode materials for RMBs. Although polymer cathodes have remarkably progressed in recent years, there are still significant challenges to overcome before reaching practical application. In this perspective, the challenges faced by polymer cathodes are critically focused, followed by the retrospection of efforts devoted to design polymers. Some feasible strategies are proposed to explore new structures and chemistries for the practical application of polymer cathodes in RMBs.

Abstract
The limited active sites of cathode materials in aluminum-ion batteries restrict the storage of more large-sized Al-complex ions, leading to a low celling of theoretical capacity. To make the utmost of active sites, an alternate storage mechanism of opposite charges (AlCl4 - anions and AlCl2 + cations) in multisites is proposed herein to achieve an ultrahigh capacity in Al-metal-organic framework (MOF) battery. The bipolar ligands (oxidized from 18π to 16π electrons and reduced from 18π to 20π electrons in a planar cyclic conjugated system) can alternately uptake and release AlCl4 - anions and AlCl2 + cations in charge/discharge processes, which can double the capacity of unipolar ligands. Moreover, the high-density active Cu sites (Cu nodes) in the 2D Cu-based MOF can also store AlCl2 + cations for a higher capacity. The rigid and extended MOF structure can address the problems of high solubility and poor stability of small organic molecules. As a result, three-step redox reactions with two-electron transfer in each step are demonstrated in charge/discharge processes, achieving high reversible capacity (184 mAh g-1 ) and energy density (177 Wh kg-1 ) of the optimized cathode in an Al-MOF battery. The findings provide a new insight for the rational design of stable high-energy Al-MOF batteries.

Abstract
Microsized silicon particles are desirable Si anodes because of their low price and abundant sources. However, it is challenging to achieve stable electrochemical performances using a traditional microsized silicon anode due to the poor electrical conductivity, serious volume expansion, and unstable solid electrolyte interface. Herein, a composite microsized Si anode is designed and synthesized by constructing a unique polymer, poly(hexaazatrinaphthalene) (PHATN), at a Si/C surface (PCSi). The Li+ transport mechanism of the PCSi is elucidated by using in situ characterization and theoretical simulation. During the lithiation of the PCSi anode, CN groups with high electron density in the PHATN first coordinate Li+ to form CNLi bonds on both sides of the PHATN molecule plane. Consequently, the original benzene rings in the PHATN become active centers to accept lithium and form stable Li-rich PHATN coatings. PHATN molecules expand due to the change of molecular configuration during the consecutive lithiation process, which provides controllable space for the volume expansion of the Si particles. The PCSi composite anode exhibits a specific capacity of 1129.6 mAh g-1 after 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 , and exhibits compelling rate performance, maintaining 417.9 mAh g-1 at 16.5 A g-1 .
