Abstract
The transition toward electric-powered devices is anticipated to play a pivotal role in advancing the global net-zero carbon emission agenda aimed at mitigating greenhouse effects. This shift necessitates a parallel focus on the development of energy storage materials capable of supporting intermittent renewable energy sources. While lithium-ion batteries, featuring inorganic electrode materials, exhibit desirable electrochemical characteristics for energy storage and transport, concerns about the toxicity and ethical implications associated with mining transition metals in their electrodes have prompted a search for environmentally safe alternatives. Organic electrodes have emerged as promising and sustainable alternatives for batteries. This review paper will delve into the recent advancements in nature-inspired electrode design aimed at addressing critical challenges such as capacity degradation due to dissolution, low operating voltages, and the intricate molecular-level processes governing macroscopic electrochemical properties.

Abstract
Rationally designed organic redox-active materials have attracted numerous interests due to their excellent electrochemical performance and reasonable sustainability. However, they often suffer from poor cycling stability, intrinsic low operating potential, and poor rate performance. Herein, a novel Donor-Acceptor (D-A) bipolar polymer with n-type pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone unit storing Li cations and p-type carbazole unit which attracts anions and provides polymerization sites is employed as a cathode for lithium-ion batteries through in situ electropolymerization. The multiple redox reactions and boosted kinetics by the D-A structure lead to excellent electrochemical performance of a high discharge capacity of 202 mA h g-1 at 200 mA g-1, impressive working potential (2.87 and 4.15 V), an outstanding rate capability of 119 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1 and a noteworthy energy density up to 554 Wh kg-1. This strategy has significant implications for the molecule design of bipolar organic cathode for high cycling stability and high energy density.

Abstract
Versatile nitrogen-centered organic redox-active molecules have gained significant attention in alkali metal-ion batteries (AMIBs) due to their low cost, low toxicity, and ease of preparation. Specially, their multiple reaction categories (anion/cation insertion types of reaction) and higher operating voltage, when compared to traditional conjugated carbonyl materials, underscore their promising prospects. However, the high solubility of nitrogen-centered redox active materials in organic electrolyte and their low electronic conductivity contribute to inferior cycling performance, sluggish reaction kinetics, and limited rate capability. This review provides a detailed overview of nitrogen-centered redox-active materials, encompassing their redox chemistry, solutions to overcome shortcomings, characterization of charge storage mechanisms, and recent progress. Additionally, prospects and directions are proposed for future investigations. It is anticipated that this review will stimulate further exploration of underlying mechanisms and interface chemistry through in situ characterization techniques, thereby promoting the practical application of nitrogen-centered redox-active materials in AMIBs.

Abstract
Dual-ion batteries based on organic electrodes show great potential to break through the bottlenecks existed in conventional LIBs due to their high specific capacity, lifted working voltage, and environmental benignity. Herein, two innovative viologen-based bipolar copolymers poly(viologen-pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetrone dichloride) (PVPTOCl2 ) and poly(viologen-anthraquinone dichloride) (PVAQCl2 ) were synthesized and applied as high performance cathodes for lithium-dual-ion battery. Bearing the dual-ion storage capability of viologen and carbonyls, as well as the conjugated structure of pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetrone, the synthesized copolymers show remarkable electrochemical performances for LIBs. Compared to PVAQCl2 , PVPTOCl2 shows superior electrochemical performance with high initial specific capacity (235.0 mAh g-1 at 200 mA g-1 ), high reversibility (coulombic efficiency up to 99.96 % at 1 A g-1 ), excellent rate performance (150.3 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and outstanding cycling stability (a reversible capacity of 197.5 mAh g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 and a low capacity loss per cycle of 0.11‰ during 3000 cycles). Moreover, the charge storage mechanism was systematically investigated by ex-situ FT-IR, ex-situ XPS and DFT calculations. The results clearly reveal the structure-property relationship of the bipolar-molecules, providing a new platform to develop efficient bipolar materials for dual-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are momentous energy storage devices, which have been rapidly developed due to their high energy density, long lifetime, and low self-discharge rate. However, the frequent occurrence of fire accidents in laptops, electric vehicles, and mobile phones caused by thermal runaway of the inside batteries constantly reminds us of the urgency in pursuing high-safety LIBs with high performance. To this end, this Review surveyed the state-of-the-art developments of high-temperature-resistant separators for highly safe LIBs with excellent electrochemical performance. Firstly, the basic properties of separators (e. g., thickness, porosity, pore size, wettability, mechanical strength, and thermal stability) in constructing commercialized LIBs were introduced. Secondly, the working mechanisms of advanced separators with different melting points acting in the thermal runaway stage were discussed in terms of improving battery safety. Thirdly, rational design strategies for constructing high-temperature-resistant separators for LIBs with high safety were summarized and discussed, including graft modification, blend modification, and multilayer composite modification strategies. Finally, the current obstacles and future research directions in the field of high-temperature-resistant separators were highlighted. These design ideas are expected to be applied to other types of high-temperature-resistant energy storage systems working under extreme conditions.

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
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are being considered new choices of batteries not only because of their inherent safety but also because of their low price advantage. Nevertheless, it is still an important task to develop organic cathode materials with green sustainability and high performance. Hexaazatriphenylene (HAT)-based organic materials have shown great potential for use in AZIBs. Herein, 5,6,11,12,17,18-hexaazatrinaphthylene-2,8,14-tricarboxylic acid (HATTA) is designed and prepared as the AZIB cathode. Benefiting from the conjugative effect of -COOH, extended π-conjugated structure, and abundant active sites, the HATTA electrode exhibits a high capacity (225.8 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), an outstanding rate performance (136.1 mA h g-1 at 25 A g-1), and a long-term cycling lifespan (84.07% of the initial capacity after 10,000 cycles at 25 A g-1). Meanwhile, the characterization results of ex situ spectroscopic tests prove that the unsaturated bond (C═N) is the redox-active moiety of HATTA. In addition, the flexible Zn//HATTA battery also exhibits impressive long-term cycling stability and good flexibility, showing its promising application in wearable electronics. This work provides a strategy with rational designing for constructing high-performance AZIBs with organics.

Abstract
Highly active and stable cathodes are critical for aqueous Zn-organic batteries with high capacity, fast redox kinetics, and long life. We herein report para-, meta-, and ortho-dinitrobenzene (p-, m-, and o-DB) containing two successive two-electron processes, as cathode materials to boost the battery performance. Theoretical and experimental studies reveal that nitro constitutional isomerism is key to zincophilic activity and redox kinetics. p-DB hosted in carbon nanoflower harvests a high capacity of 402 mAh g-1 and a superior stability up to 25 000 cycles at 5 A g-1 , giving a Zn-organic battery with a high energy density of 230 Wh kg-1 . An anionic co-insertion charge storage mechanism is proposed, entailing a two-step (de)coordination of Zn(CF3 SO3 )+ with nitro oxygen. Besides, dinitrobenzene can be electrochemically optimized by side group regulation via implanting electron-withdrawing motifs. This work opens a new window to design multielectron nitroaromatics for Zn-organic batteries.

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
Organic carbonyl compounds are regarded as promising candidates for next-generation rechargeable batteries due to their low cost, environmentally benign nature, and high capacity. The carbonyl utilization is a key issue that limits the practical specific capacity of multi-carbonyl compounds. In this work, a combination of thermodynamic computation and electronic structure analysis is carried out to study the influence of carbonyl type and carbonyl number on the electrochemical performance of a series of multi-carbonyl compounds by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. By comparing discharge profiles of six tetraone compounds with different carbonyl sites, it is demonstrated that pentacene-5,7,12,14-tetraone (PT) with para-dicarbonyl and pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO) with ortho-dicarbonyl undergo four-lithium transfer while the other four compounds with meta-dicarbonyl fragments show only two-lithium transfer during the discharge process. By further increasing the carbonyl number, the electrochemical performance of molecules with similar para-dicarbonyl sites to PT can not be strongly improved. Among all the studied multi-carbonyl compounds, triphenylene-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaone (TPHA) and tribenzo[f,k,m]tetraphen-2,3,6,7,11,12,15,16-octaone (TTOA) with similar ortho-dicarbonyl sites to PTO exhibit the best electrochemical performance due to simultaneous high specific capacity and high discharge voltage. Our results offer evidence that conjugated multiple-carbonyl molecules with ortho-dicarbonyl sites are promising in developing high energy-density organic rechargeable batteries.
