Abstract
Organic material holds immense potential for Li-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their eco-friendly nature, high structural designability, abundant sources, and high theoretical capacity. However, the limited redox-active sites, low electronic conductivity, sluggish ionic diffusion, and high solubility hinder their practical application. Here, we reported the use of a linear polymer called poly(naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride-pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone)-coated graphene nanosheets (NPT/rGO) as a cathode material for LIBs. The NPT polymer has a rotation angle of approximately 63° between each plane, which helps in exposing the active sites and preventing structural pulverization during cycling. The highly conjugated skeleton of the polymer, along with graphene, forms a synergistic effect through a π-π interaction. This combination enhances the conductivity and restricts solubility. Additionally, the linear structure of NPT and the two-dimensional rGO substrates work together to enhance charge transfer and ion diffusion rates, resulting in faster reaction kinetics. Consequently, NPT/rGO exhibits excellent electrochemical performance in terms of high capacity, superior cyclic stability, and good rate capability for LIBs. Moreover, through the combination of experimental investigations and theoretical simulations, a multiple electron reaction mechanism, an efficient Li-ion storage behavior, and a reversible dynamic evolution have been revealed. This study introduces a rational molecular design approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of polyimide derivatives, thereby contributing to the advancement of cutting-edge organic electrode materials for LIBs.

Abstract
The branched network-driven ion solvating quasi-solid polymer electrolytes (QSPEs) are prepared via one-step photochemical reaction. A poly(ethylene glycol diacrylate) (PEGDA) is combined with an ion-conducting solvate ionic liquid (SIL), where tetraglyme (TEGDME), which acts like interneuron in the human brain and creates branching network points, is mixed with EMIM-NTf2 and Li-NTf2. The QSPE exhibits a unique gyrified morphology, inspired by the cortical surface of human brain, and features well-refined nano-scale ion channels. This human-mimicking method offers excellent ion transport capabilities through a synaptic branched network with high ionic conductivity (σDC ≈ 1.8 mS cm-1 at 298 K), high dielectric constant (εs ≈ 125 at 298 K), and strong ion solvation ability, in addition to superior mechanical flexibility. Furthermore, the interdigitated microsupercapacitors (MSCs) based on the QSPE present excellent electrochemical performance of high energy (E = 5.37 µWh cm-2) and power density (P = 2.2 mW cm-2), long-term cycle stability (≈94% retention after 48 000 cycles), and mechanical stability (>94% retention after continuous bending and compressing deformation). Moreover, these MSC devices have flame-retarding properties and operate effectively in air and water across a wide temperature range (275 to 370 K), offering a promising foundation for high-performance, stable next-generation all-solid-state energy storage devices.

Abstract
Conjugated carbonyl compounds are regarded as promising organic anode materials for potassium ion batteries (PIBs) due to their rich redox sites, excellent reversibility, and structural tunability, but their low electrical conductivity and severe solubility in organic electrolytes have substantially restricted their practical application. Herein, 2D MXene is utilized as an electrochemically active binder to fabricate perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) electrodes for high-performance PIBs. MXene, coupled with Super-P particles, served as a binder and conductive matrix to facilitate rapid ion and electron transport, restrain the solubility of PTCDA, promote potassium adsorption, and alleviate the volume expansion of PTCDA during potassiation. Consequently, the PTCDA electrode bonded by the MXene/Super-P system delivers excellent potassium storage performance in terms of a high capacity of 462 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1, superior rate capability of 116.3 mAh g-1 at 2000 mA g-1, and stable cycle performance over 3000 cycles with a low capacity decay rate of ∼0.0033% per cycle. When configured with the PTCDA@450 cathode, an all-PTCDA potassium ion full cell delivers a maximum energy density of 179.5 Wh kg-1, indicating the superiority of MXene as an electrochemically active binder to promote the practical application of organic anodes for PIBs.

Abstract
Organic materials have attracted extensive attention for potassium-ion batteries due to their flexible structure designability and environmental friendliness. However, organic materials generally suffer from unavoidable dissolution in aprotic electrolytes, causing an unsatisfactory electrochemical performance. Herein, we designed a weakly solvating electrolyte to boost the potassium storage performance of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA). The electrolyte induces an in situ morphology evolution and achieves a nanowire structure. The weakly dissolving capability of ethylene glycol diethyl ether-based electrolyte and unique nanowire structure effectively avoid the dissolution of PTCDA. As a result, PTCDA shows excellent cycling stability (a capacity retention of 89.1% after 2000 cycles) and good rate performance (70.3 mAh g-1 at 50C). In addition, experimental detail discloses that the sulfonyl group plays a key role in inducing morphology evolution during the charge/discharge process. This work opens up new opportunities in electrolyte design for organic electrodes and illuminates further developments of potassium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Replacing the C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond with an isoelectronic BN unit is an effective strategy to tune the optoelectronic properties of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, precise control of the BN orientations in large PAH systems is still a synthetic challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a facile approach for the synthesis of BN embedded perylene diimide (PDI) nanoribbons, and the polarization orientations of the BN unit were precisely regulated in the two PDI trimers. These BN doped PDI oligomers show great potential as organic cathodes for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). In particular, trans-PTCDI3BN exhibits great improvement in voltage potential, reversible capacities (ca. 130 mA h g-1), superior rate performance (19 s to 69% of the maximum capacity) and ultralong cyclic stability (nearly no capacity decay over 30 000 cycles), which are among those of state-of-the-art organic-based cathodes. Our synthetic approach stands as an effective way to access large PAHs with precisely controlled BN orientations, and the BN doping strategy provides useful insight into the development of organic electrode materials for secondary batteries.

Abstract
Organic compounds have become a potentially important choice for a new generation of energy-storage electrode materials due to their designability, flexibility, green sustainability, and abundance. However, the applications of organic electrode materials are still limited because of their dissolution in electrolytes and low electrical conductivity, which in turn cause poor cycling stability. Here, for the first time, we report 2-amino-4-thiazole-acetic acid (ATA) and its sodium salt, sodium 2-amino-4-thiazol-derived polymer (PATANa), as an anode. The PATANa showed a two-dimensional (2D) nanosheet structure, offering a larger contact area with the electrolyte and a shorter ion-migration path, which improved the ion-diffusion kinetics. The polymer showed excellent cycling stability and outstanding rate capability when tested as an anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). It could deliver a high reversible specific capacity of 303 mA h g-1 at 100 mA g-1 for 100 cycles and maintain a high discharge capacity of 190 mA h g-1 after 1000 long cycle numbers even at a high current density of 1000 mA g-1. This approach of salinizing the polymer opens a new way to develop anode materials for sodium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Organic p-type cathode materials have recently attracted increasing attention due to their higher redox potentials and rate capabilities in comparison to n-type cathodes. However, most of the p-type cathodes based on one-electron redox still suffer from limited stability and low specific capacity (<150 mAh g-1 ). Herein, two polymers, conjugated poly(diethyldihydrophenazine vinylene) (CPP) and non-conjugated poly(diethyldihydrophenazine ethylidene) (NCPP) containing two-electron redox dihydrophenazine, have been developed as p-type cathode materials. It is experimentally and theoretically found that the conjugated linkage among the redox centers in polymer CPP is more favorable for the effective charge delocalization on the conjugated polymer backbone and the sufficient oxidation in the higher potential region (3.3-4.2 V vs. Li/Li+ ). Consequently, the CPP cathode displays a higher reversible specific capacity of 184 mAh g-1 with excellent cycling stability.

Abstract
As the demand for next-generation electronics is increasing, organic and polymer-based semiconductors are in the spotlight as suitable materials owing to their tailorable structures along with flexible properties. Especially, polyimide (PI) has been widely utilised in electronics because of its outstanding mechanical and thermal properties and chemical resistance originating from its crystallinity, conjugated structure and π-π interactions. PI has recently been receiving more attention in the energy storage and conversion fields due to its unique redox activity and charge transfer complex structure. In this review, we focus on the design of PI structures with improved electrochemical and photocatalytic activities for use as redox-active materials in photo- and electrocatalysts, batteries and supercapacitors. We anticipate that this review will offer insight into the utilisation of redox-active PI-based polymeric materials for the development of future electronics.

Abstract
As a class of flexible and designable materials, organic electrode materials would greatly facilitate the progress of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs), especially when the dissolution issue is ameliorated. Ionic liquid electrolytes (ILEs) do not merely alleviate the dissolution of organic materials but provide reliable security. Herein, Pillar[5]quinone (P5Q) as the cathode of PIBs is demonstrated for the first time, and the electrochemical performance of two common ILEs is investigated. In the 0.3 M KFSI-PY13FSI electrolyte with better conductivity, the P5Q cathode maintains a large reversible capacity of 232 mAh g-1 (450 Wh kg-1) after 100 cycles at 0.2C at 1.2-4.0 V. When a current density of 2.0C is applied, the cell retains a capacity of 101 mAh g-1 (211 Wh kg-1) after 1000 cycles and 61 mAh g-1 (125 Wh kg-1) even over 5000 cycles. This research would inspire research on organic electrodes and advance the application of PIBs.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COF) possess a robust and porous crystalline structure, making them an appealing candidate for energy storage. Herein, we report an exfoliated polyimide COF composite (P-COF@SWCNT) prepared by an in situ condensation of anhydride and amine on the single-walled carbon nanotubes as advanced anode for potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). Numerous active sites exposed on the exfoliated frameworks and the various open pathways promote the highly efficient ion diffusion in the P-COF@SWCNT while preventing irreversible dissolution in the electrolyte. During the charging/discharging process, K+ is engaged in the carbonyls of imide group and naphthalene rings through the enolization and π-K+ effect, which is demonstrated by the DFT calculation and XPS, ex-situ FTIR, Raman. As a result, the prepared P-COF@SWCNT anode enables an incredibly high reversible specific capacity of 438 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 and extended stability. The structural advantage of P-COF@SWCNT enables more insights into the design and versatility of COF as an electrode.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials hold unique advantages for electrochemical alkali-ion storage but cannot yet fulfill their potential. The key lies in the design of structurally stable candidates that have negligible solution solubility and can withstand thousands of cycles under operation. To this end, we demonstrate here the preparation of dimensionally stable polyimide frameworks from the two-dimensional cross-linking of tetraaminobenzene and dianhydride. The product consists of hierarchically assembled nanosheets with thin thickness and abundant porosity. Its robust molecular frameworks and advantageous nanoscale features render our polymeric material a promising cathode candidate for both sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries. Most strikingly, an extraordinary cycle life of up to 6000 cycles at 2 A g-1 is demonstrated, outperforming most of its competitors. Theoretical simulations support the great activity of our polymeric product for the electrochemical alkali-ion storage.

Abstract
Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) as a new electrochemical energy storage system have been considered as a desirable candidate in the post-lithium-ion battery era. Nevertheless, the study on this realm is in its infancy; it is urgent to develop electrode materials with high electrochemical performance and low cost. Iron sulfides as anode materials have aroused wide attention by virtue of their merits of high theoretical capacities, environmental benignity, and cost competitiveness. Herein, we constructed carbon-free crystal-like Fe1-xS and demonstrated its feasibility as a PIB anode. The unique structural feature endows the prepared Fe1-xS with plentiful active sites for electrochemical reactions and short transmission pathways for ions/electrons. The Fe1-xS electrode retained capacities of 420.8 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.1 A g-1 and 212.9 mAh g-1 after 250 cycles at 1.0 A g-1. Even at a high rate of 5.0 A g-1, an average capacity of 167.6 mAh g-1 was achieved. In addition, a potassium-ion full cell is assembled by employing Fe1-xS as an anode and potassium Prussian blue as a cathode; it delivered a discharge capacity of 127.6 mAh g-1 at 100 mA g-1 after 50 cycles.

Abstract
Owing to the low cost of sodium/potassium resources and similar electrochemical properties of Na+ /K+ to Li+ , sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are regarded as promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in large-scale energy storage field. However, traditional organic liquid electrolytes bestow SIBs/KIBs with serious safety concerns. In contrast, quasi-/solid-phase electrolytes including polymer electrolytes (PEs) and inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) show great superiority of high safety. However, the poor processibility and relatively low ionic conductivity of Na+ and K+ ions limit the further practical applications of ISEs. PEs combine some merits of both liquid-phase electrolytes and ISEs, and present great potentials in next-generation energy storage systems. Considerable efforts have been devoted to improving their overall properties. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of an in-depth and comprehensive review to get insights into mechanisms and corresponding design strategies of PEs. Herein, the advantages of different electrolytes, particularly PEs are first minutely reviewed, and the mechanism of PEs for Na+ /K+ ion transfer is summarized. Then, representative researches and recent progresses of SIBs/KIBs based on PEs are presented. Finally, some suggestions and perspectives are put forward to provide some possible directions for the follow-up researches.

Abstract
Organic redox-active molecules have been identified as promising cathodes for practical usage of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) but still struggle with serious dissolution problems and sluggish kinetic properties. Herein, we propose a pseudocapacitance-dominated novel insoluble carbonyl-based cathode, [2,6-di[1-(perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxydiimide)]anthraquinone, AQ-diPTCDI], which possesses high reversible capacities of 150 mAh g-1, excellent cycle stability with capacity retention of 88% over 2000 cycles, and fast kinetic properties. The strong intermolecular interactions of AQ-diPTCDI and in situ formed cathode electrolyte interphase films support it against the dissolution problem. The high capacitive-like contribution in capacities and fast potassium-ion diffusion enhance its reaction kinetics. Moreover, a symmetric organic potassium-ion battery (OPIB) based on AQ-diPTCDI electrodes also exhibits outstanding K-storage capability. These results suggest that AQ-diPTCDI is a promising organic cathode for OPIBs and provide a practicable route to realize high-performance K storage.

Abstract
Redox-active organics are investigation hotspots for metal ion storage due to their structural diversity and redox reversibility. However, they are plagued by limited storage capacity, sluggish ion diffusion kinetics, and weak structural stability, especially for K+ ion storage. Herein, we firstly reported the lamellar tetrapotassium pyromellitic (K4 PM) with four active sites and large interlayer distance for K+ ion storage based on a design strategy, where organics are constructed with the small molecular mass, multiple active sites, fast ion diffusion channels, and rigid conjugated π bonds. The K4 PM electrode delivers a high capacity up to 292 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 , among the best reported organics for K+ ion storage. Especially, it achieves an excellent rate capacity and long-term cycling stability with a capacity retention of ≈83 % after 1000 cycles. Incorporating in situ and ex-situ techniques, the K+ ion storage mechanism is revealed, where conjugated carboxyls are reversibly rearranged into enolates to stably store K+ ions. This work sheds light on the rational design and optimization of organic electrodes for efficient metal ion storage.
