Abstract
Distinct from "rocking-chair" lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the unique anionic intercalation chemistry on the cathode side of dual-ion batteries (DIBs) endows them with intrinsic advantages of low cost, high voltage, and eco-friendly, which is attracting widespread attention, and is expected to achieve the next generation of large-scale energy storage applications. Although the electrochemical reactions on the anode side of DIBs are similar to that of LIBs, in fact, to match the rapid insertion kinetics of anions on the cathode side and consider the compatibility with electrolyte system which also serves as an active material, the anode materials play a very important role, and there is an urgent demand for rational structural design and performance optimization. A review and summarization of previous studies will facilitate the exploration and optimization of DIBs in the future. Here, we summarize the development process and working mechanism of DIBs and exhaustively categorize the latest research of DIBs anode materials and their applications in different battery systems. Moreover, the structural design, reaction mechanism and electrochemical performance of anode materials are briefly discussed. Finally, the fundamental challenges, potential strategies and perspectives are also put forward. It is hoped that this review could shed some light for researchers to explore more superior anode materials and advanced systems to further promote the development of DIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous proton batteries have received increasing attention due to their outstanding rate performance, stability and high capacity. However, the selection of anode materials in strongly acidic electrolytes poses a challenge in achieving high-performance aqueous proton batteries. This study optimized the proton reaction kinetics of layered metal oxide WO3 by introducing interlayer structural water and coating polyaniline (PANI) on its surface to prepare organic-inorganic hybrid material (WO3 ⋅ 2H2O@PANI). We constructed an aqueous proton battery with WO3 ⋅ 2H2O@PANI anode and MnO2@GF cathode. After 1500 cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1, the capacity retention rate can still reach 80.2 %. These results can inspire the development of new aqueous proton batteries.

Abstract
Organic electrodes may someday replace transition metals oxides, the current standard in electrochemical energy storage, including those with severe issues of availability, cost, and recyclability. To realize this more sustainable future, a thorough understanding of structure-property relationships and design rules for organic electrodes must be developed. Further, it is imperative that supramolecular interactions between organic species, which are often overlooked, be included in organic electrode design. In this review, we showcase how molecular and polymeric electrodes that host non-covalent interactions outperform materials without these features. Using select examples from the literature, we emphasize how dispersion forces, hydrogen-bonding, and radical pairing can be leveraged to improve the stability, capacity, and energy density of organic electrodes. Throughout this review, we identify potential next-generation designs and opportunities for continued investigation. We hope that this review will serve as a catalyst for collaboration between synthetic chemists and the energy storage community, which we view as a prerequisite to achieving high-performing supramolecular electrode materials.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a sustainable solution to tackle the growing global energy demands. In this context, organic electrode materials complement such technologies as they are composed of earth-abundant elements. As organic anodes, sodium carboxylates exhibit promising applicability in a wide range of molecules. To harness the advantages of individual systems and to minimise their limitations, in this work, an approach to form binary mixtures of sodium carboxylates using one-pot, microwave-assisted synthesis is presented. The target mixtures were synthesised in 30 min with disodium naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate (Na-NDC) as a common constituent in all. Both components in all mixtures were shown to participate in the charge storage and had a considerable effect on the performance characteristics, such as specific capacity and working voltage, in half and full cell formats. This approach opens a new avenue for enabling organic materials to be considered as more competitive candidates in sodium-ion batteries and promote their use in other material classes to overcome their limitations.

Abstract
Electroactive materials are central to myriad applications, including energy storage, sensing, and catalysis. Compared to traditional inorganic electrode materials, redox-active organic materials such as porous organic polymers (POPs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are emerging as promising alternatives due to their structural tunability, flexibility, sustainability, and compatibility with a range of electrolytes. Herein, we discuss the challenges and opportunities available for the use of redox-active organic materials in organoelectrochemistry, an emerging area in fine chemical synthesis. In particular, we highlight the utility of organic electrode materials in photoredox catalysis, electrochemical energy storage, and electrocatalysis and point to new directions needed to unlock their potential utility for organic synthesis. This Perspective aims to bring together the organic, electrochemistry, and polymer communities to design new heterogeneous electrocatalysts for the sustainable synthesis of complex molecules.

Abstract
In this work, reactions between 6,7-dichloropyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-8,9-diones with different benzohydrazides were studied. Nucleophilic substitution at C(6) was followed by isomerization and led to α-hydroxy-p-quinone imine derivatives. Synthesized compounds represent a combination of several structural motifs: a benzimidazole core fused with α-hydroxy-p-quinone imine, which contains a benzamide fragment. X-ray crystallography analysis revealed the formation of dimers linked through OH···O interactions and stabilization of the imine form by strong intramolecular NH···N hydrogen bonds. The protonation/deprotonation processes were investigated in a solution using UV-Vis spectroscopy and a 1H NMR titration experiment. Additionally, the electrochemical properties of 6,7-dichloropyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-8,9-dione and its α-hydroxy-p-quinone imine derivative as cathode materials were investigated in acidic and neutral environments using cyclic voltammetry measurements. Cathode material based on 6,7-dichloropyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-8,9-dione could act as a potentially effective active electrode in aqueous electrolyte batteries; however, further optimization is required.

Abstract
Developing low-voltage carboxylate anode materials is critical for achieving low-cost, high-performance, and sustainable Na-ion batteries (NIBs). However, the structure design rationale and structure-performance correlation for organic carboxylates in NIBs remains elusive. Herein, the spatial effect on the performance of carboxylate anode materials is studied by introducing heteroatoms in the conjugation structure and manipulating the positions of carboxylate groups in the aromatic rings. Planar and twisted organic carboxylates are designed and synthesized to gain insight into the impact of geometric structures to the electrochemical performance of carboxylate anodes in NIBs. Among the carboxylates, disodium 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate (2255-Na) with a planar structure outperforms the others in terms of highest specific capacity (210 mAh g-1), longest cycle life (2000 cycles), and best rate capability (up to 5 A g-1). The cyclic stability and redox mechanism of 2255-Na in NIBs are exploited by various characterization techniques. Moreover, high-temperature (up to 100 °C) and all-organic batteries based on a 2255-Na anode, a polyaniline (PANI) cathode, and an ether-based electrolyte are achieved and exhibited exceptional electrochemical performance. Therefore, this work demonstrates that designing organic carboxylates with extended planar conjugation structures is an effective strategy to achieve high-performance and sustainable NIBs.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials have shown significant potential for aqueous Zn ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their flexible structure designability and cost advantage. However, sluggish ionic diffusion, high solubility, and low capacities limit their practical application. Here, we designed a covalent organic framework (TA-PTO-COF) generated by covalently bonding tris(4-formylbiphenyl)amine (TA) and 2,7-diaminopyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO-NH2). The highly conjugated skeleton inside enhances its electron delocalization and intermolecular interaction, leading to high electronic conductivity and limited solubility. The open channel within the TA-PTO-COF provides ionic diffusion pathways for fast reaction kinetics. In addition, the abundant active sites (C[double bond, length as m-dash]N and C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) endow the TA-PTO-COF with a large reversible capacity. As a result, the well-designed TA-PTO-COF cathode delivers exceptional capacity (255 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1), excellent cycling stability, and a superior rate capacity of 186 mA h g-1 at 10 A g-1. Additionally, the co-insertion mechanism of Zn2+/H+ within the TA-PTO-COF cathode is revealed in depth by ex situ spectroscopy. This study presents an effective strategy for developing high-performance organic cathodes for advanced AZIBs.

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.

[PMID: 38475370 DOI: 10.3390/polym16050687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are constructed from small organic molecules through reversible covalent bonds, and are therefore considered a special type of polymer. Small organic molecules are divided into nodes and connectors based on their roles in the COF's structure. The connector generally forms reversible covalent bonds with the node through two reactive end groups. The adjustment of the length of the connector facilitates the adjustment of pore size. Due to the diversity of organic small molecules and reversible covalent bonds, COFs have formed a large family since their synthesis in 2005. Among them, a type of COF containing redox active groups such as -C=O-, -C=N-, and -N=N- has received widespread attention in the field of energy storage. The ordered crystal structure of COFs ensures the ordered arrangement and consistent size of pores, which is conducive to the formation of unobstructed ion channels, giving these COFs a high-rate performance and a long cycle life. The voltage and specific capacity jointly determine the energy density of cathode materials. For the COFs' cathode materials, the voltage plateau of their active sites' VS metallic lithium is mostly between 2 and 3 V, which has great room for improvement. However, there is currently no feasible strategy for this. Therefore, previous studies mainly improved the theoretical specific capacity of the COFs' cathode materials by increasing the number of active sites. We have summarized the progress in the research on these types of COFs in recent years and found that the redox active functional groups of these COFs can be divided into six subcategories. According to the different active functional groups, these COFs are also divided into six subcategories. Here, we summarize the structure, synthesis unit, specific surface area, specific capacity, and voltage range of these cathode COFs.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous crystalline polymeric materials constructed by linking organic small molecules through covalent bonds. COFs have the advantages of strong covalent bond network, adjustable pore structure, large specific surface area and excellent thermal stability, and have broad application prospects in various fields. Based on these advantages, rational COFs design strategies such as the introduction of active sites, construction of conjugated structures, and carbon material composite, etc. can effectively improve the conductivity and stability of the electrode materials in the field of batteries. This paper introduces the latest research results of high-performance COFs electrode materials in alkali metal-ion batteries (LIBs, SIBs, PIBs and LSBs) and other advanced batteries. The current challenges and future design directions of COFs-based electrode are discussed. It provides useful insights for the design of novel COFs structures and the development of high-performance alkali metal-ion batteries.

Abstract
Organic active materials are seen as next-generation battery materials that could circumvent the sustainability and cost limitations connected with the current Li-ion battery technology while at the same time enabling novel battery functionalities like a bioderived feedstock, biodegradability, and mechanical flexibility. Many promising research results have recently been published. However, the reproducibility and comparison of the literature results are somehow limited due to highly variable electrode formulations and electrochemical testing conditions. In this Perspective, we provide a critical view of the organic cathode active materials and suggest future guidelines for electrochemical characterization, capacity evaluation, and mechanistic investigation to facilitate reproducibility and benchmarking of literature results, leading to the accelerated development of organic electrode active materials for practical applications.

Perylenetetracarboxylic Diimide Composite Electrodes as Organic Cathode Materials for Rechargeable Sodium-Ion Batteries: A Joint Experimental and Theoretical Study. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:6642-6657.

Abstract
The organic semiconductor 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI), a widely used industrial pigment, has been identified as a diffusion-less Na-ion storage material, allowing for exceptionally fast charging/discharging rates. The elimination of diffusion effects in electrochemical measurements enables the assessment of interaction energies from simple cyclic voltammetry experiments through the theoretical work of Laviron and Tokuda. In this work, the two N-substituted perylenes, N,N'-dimethyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (Me2PTCDI) and N,N'-diphenyl-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (Ph2PTCDI), as well as the parent molecule 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (H2PTCDI) are investigated as thin-film composite electrodes on carbon fibers for sodium-ion batteries. The composite electrodes are analyzed with Raman spectroscopy. Interaction parameters are extracted from cyclic voltammetry measurements. The stability and rate capability of the three PTCDI derivatives are examined through galvanostatic measurements in sodium-ion half-cell batteries and the influence of the interactions on those parameters is evaluated. In addition, self-consistent charge density function tight binding calculations of the different PTCDI systems interacting with graphite have been carried out. The results show that the binding motif displays notable deviations from an ideal ABA stacking, especially for the neutral state. In addition, data obtained for the electron-transfer integrals show that the difference in performance between different PTCDI thin-film batteries cannot be solely explained by the electron-transfer properties and other factors such as H-bonding have to be considered.

Abstract
Due to flexible structure tunability and abundant structure diversity, redox-active polymers are promising cathode materials for developing affordable and sustainable Na-ion batteries (NIBs). However, polymer cathodes still suffer from low capacity, poor cycle life, and sluggish reaction kinetics. Herein, we designed and synthesized a polymer cathode material bearing carbonyl and azo groups as well as extended conjugation structures in the repeating units. The polymer cathode exhibited exceptional electrochemical performance in NIBs in terms of high capacity, long lifetime, and fast kinetics. When coupled with a low-concentration electrolyte, it shows superior performance at low temperatures down to -50 °C, demonstrating great promise for low-temperature battery applications. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to study the reaction mechanism, interphase structure, and morphological evolution, confirming reversible redox reactions between azo/carbonyl groups in the polymer and Na+/electrons, a NaF-rich interphase, and high structure stability upon cycling. This work provides an effective approach to developing high-performance polymer cathodes for affordable, sustainable, and low-temperature NIBs.

Abstract
Like hydroquinones and quinones, aromatic compounds with multiple NH2 groups and the corresponding quinonediimines have the potential to serve as components of useful redox-active organic materials. Benzene-1,2,4,5-tetramine (BTA) and its oxidized form BTA-H2 offer a promising redox pair of this type, and the compounds have proven to be useful in many areas of chemistry. However, key aspects of their behavior have remained poorly studied, such as the nature of their protonated forms, their preferred molecular structures, their reactivity, and their organization in condensed phases. In the present work, we have used a combination of improved methods of synthesis, computation, spectroscopic studies, and structural analyses to develop a deeper understanding of BTA, BTA-H2, their salts, and related compounds. The new knowledge is expected to accelerate exploitation of the compounds in areas of materials science where desirable properties can only be attained by properly controlling the organization of molecular components.

Abstract
A benzoquinone-embedded aza-fused covalent organic framework (BQ COF) with the maximum loading of redox-active units per molecule was employed as a cathode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to achieve high energy and power densities. The synthesis was optimized to obtain high crystallinity and improved electrochemical performance. Synthesis at moderate temperature followed by a solid-state reaction was found to be particularly useful for achieving good crystallinity and the activation of the COF. When used as a cathode for LIBs, very high discharge capacities of 513, 365, and 234 mAh g-1 were obtained at 0.1C, 1C, and 10C, respectively, showing a remarkable rate performance. More than 70% of the initial capacity was retained after 1000 cycles when the cathode was investigated for cyclic performance at 2.5C. We demonstrated that a straightforward heat treatment led to enhanced crystallinity, an optimized structure, and favorable morphology, resulting in enhanced electrode kinetics and an improved overall electrochemical behavior. A comparative study was conducted involving an aza-fused COF lacking carbonyl groups (TAB COF) and a small molecule containing phenazine and carbonyl (3BQ), providing useful insights into new material design. A full cell was assembled with graphite as the anode to assess the commercial feasibility of BQ COF, and a discharge capacity of 240 mAh g-1 was obtained at 0.5C. Furthermore, a pouch-type cell with a high discharge capacity and an excellent rate performance was assembled, demonstrating the practical applicability of our designed cathode. Considering the entire mass of the working electrode, a specific energy density of 492 Wh kg-1 and a power density of 492 W kg-1 were achieved at the high current density of 1C, which are comparable to those of commercially available cathodes. These results highlight the promise of organic electrode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Furthermore, this study provides a systematic approach for simultaneously designing organic materials with high power and energy densities.

Abstract
Organic compounds exhibit great potential as sustainable, tailorable, and environmentally friendly electrode materials for rechargeable batteries. However, the intrinsic defects of organic electrodes, including solubility, low ionic conductivity, and restricted electroactivity sites, will inevitably decrease the cycling life and capacity. We herein designed and prepared nanostructured porous polymers (NPP) with a simple one-pot method to overcome the above defects. Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate that the as-synthesized NPP exhibited low volume expansion, molecular-structural distortion, and a gradual function activation process during cycling, thus exhibiting superior, high, and durable lithium storage. The gradual molecular distortion during the lithium storage processes provides more redox-active sites for Li storage, increasing the Li-storage capacity. Ex situ spectrum studies reveal the redox reaction mechanism of Li storage and demonstrate a gradual activation process during the repeated charging/discharging until the full storage of 18 Li ions is achieved. Additionally, a real-time observation on the NPP anode by in situ transmission electron microscope reveals a slight volume expansion during the repeating lithiation and delithiation processes, ensuring its structural integrity during cycling. This quantitative work for high-durability lithium storage could be of immediate benefit for designing organic electrode materials.

Abstract
The poly(2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone-3,6-methylene) (denoted as PDBM) capable of reversible coordination/uncoordination with both mono- and multivalent cations in aqueous electrolytes is desired to develop safe, sustainable, and cost-effective aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs). However, the comprehensive mechanism between the electrochemical performance of PDBM and properties of these metal cations is unclear. Herein, we initially demonstrate the universality of PDBM to reversibly coordinate/uncoordinate with various cations (Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Al3+, etc.) with high specific capacities (>200 mA h g-1), high rate capabilities (∼20 C), and long cycling life (5000 cycles). Additionally, an unprecedented ion-coordination mechanism is presented: the monovalent cations prefer to occupy the in-plane sites with respect to the benzene rings of PDBM during the electrochemical reduced process, while the multivalent cations with the larger charge density tend to occupy the out-of-plane sites, which can use more active sites in the PDBM molecule and deliver the higher specific capacities. Meanwhile, the redox potential of PDBM decreases with the decrease in the binding energy between metal cations and PDBM molecules. The universality of PDBM to numerous cations is beneficial to design high-safety, low-cost, and long-lifespan ARBs for large-scale energy storage systems by modulating the aqueous electrolytes.

[PMID: 37655030 PMCID: PMC10466338 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc03435f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Organic materials offer great potential as electrodes for batteries due to their high theoretical capacity, flexible structural design, and easily accessible materials. However, one significant drawback of organic electrode materials is their tendency to dissolve in the electrolyte. Resazurin sodium salt (RSS) has demonstrated remarkable charge/discharge performance characterized by a voltage plateau and high capacity when utilized as a cathode in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Unfortunately, the solubility of RSS as a sodium salt continues to pose challenges in AZIBs. In this study, we introduce an RSS-containing organic compound, triresazurin-triazine (TRT), with a porous structure prepared by a desalinization method from the RSS and 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (TCT). This process retained active groups (carbonyl and nitroxide radical) while generating a highly conjugated structure, which not only inhibits the dissolution in the electrolyte, but also improves the electrical conductivity, enabling TRT to have excellent electrochemical properties. When evaluated as a cathode for AZIBs, TRT exhibits a high reversible capacity of 180 mA h g-1, exceptional rate performance (78 mA h g-1 under 2 A g-1), and excellent cycling stability with 65 mA h g-1 at 500 mA g-1 after 1000 cycles.

Abstract
Batteries play an increasingly critical role in the functioning of contemporary society. To ensure future proofing of battery technology, new materials and methods that overcome the current shortcomings need to be developed. Here we report the use of the inexpensive and off the shelf metal-carboxylate, copper tartrate, as a high-capacity anode material for lithium-ion batteries, providing a specific capacity of 744 mA h g-1 when cycled at 50 mA g-1. Additionally, an unusual capacity gain with cycling is investigated using advanced techniques including X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and small and ultra-small angle neutron scattering (SANS and USANS), providing insight into the structure-performance relationship of the electrode. Subsequently, a novel method of in situ generation of the active material is demonstrated using the reaction between the parent acid, tartaric acid, and the copper current collector during electrode formulation. This serves to increase and stabilise the electrode performance, as well as to make use of a cheaper feedstock (tartaric acid), and reduce some of the "dead mass" of the copper current collector.

Abstract
The growing demand for cheap, safe, recyclable, and environmentally friendly batteries highlights the importance of the development of organic electrode materials. Here, we present a novel redox-active polymer comprising a polyaniline-type conjugated backbone and quinizarin and anthraquinone units. The synthesized polymer was explored as a cathode material for batteries, and it delivered promising performance characteristics in both lithium and potassium cells. Excellent lithiation efficiency enabled high discharge capacity values of >400 mA g-1 in combination with good stability upon charge-discharge cycling. Similarly, the potassium cells with the polymer-based cathodes demonstrated a high discharge capacity of >200 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 and impressive stability: no capacity deterioration was observed for over 3000 cycles at 11 A g-1, which was among the best results reported for K ion battery cathodes to date. The synthetic availability and low projected cost of the designed material paves a way to its practical implementation in scalable and inexpensive organic batteries, which are emerging as a sustainable energy storage technology.

Abstract
Redox-active covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have recently emerged as advanced electrodes in polymer batteries. COFs provide ideal molecular precision for understanding redox mechanisms and increasing the theoretical charge-storage capacities. Furthermore, the functional groups on the pore surface of COFs provide highly ordered and easily accessible interaction sites, which can be modeled to establish a synergy between ex situ/in situ mechanism studies and computational methods, permitting the creation of predesigned structure-property relationships. This perspective integrates and categorizes the redox functionalities of COFs, providing a deeper understanding of the mechanistic investigation of guest ion interactions in batteries. Additionally, it highlights the tunable electronic and structural properties that influence the activation of redox reactions in this promising organic electrode material.

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
Organic batteries using redox-active polymers and small organic compounds have become promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices due to the abundance, environmental benignity, and diverse nature of organic resources. To date, tremendous research efforts have been devoted to developing advanced organic electrode materials and understanding the material structure-performance correlation in organic batteries. In contrast, less attention was paid to the correlation between electrolyte structure and battery performance, despite the critical roles of electrolytes for the dissolution of organic electrode materials, the formation of the electrode-electrolyte interphase, and the solvation/desolvation of charge carriers. In this review, we discuss the prospects and challenges of organic batteries with an emphasis on electrolytes. The differences between organic and inorganic batteries in terms of electrolyte property requirements and charge storage mechanisms are elucidated. To provide a comprehensive and thorough overview of the electrolyte development in organic batteries, the electrolytes are divided into four categories including organic liquid electrolytes, aqueous electrolytes, inorganic solid electrolytes, and polymer-based electrolytes, to introduce different components, concentrations, additives, and applications in various organic batteries with different charge carriers, interphases, and separators. The perspectives and outlook for the future development of advanced electrolytes are also discussed to provide a guidance for the electrolyte design and optimization in organic batteries. We believe that this review will stimulate an in-depth study of electrolytes and accelerate the commercialization of organic batteries.

Abstract
Mn metal batteries are rarely reported due to the lack of a stable electrolyte. Here, an N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-based organic electrolyte with stable Mn plating/stripping for over 500 h and high Coulombic efficiency (CE) for a Mn metal battery is presented. The battery-specifically composed of an electrolyte made of DMF and ethylenediamine (EDA), a cathode made of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylicdiimide (PTCDI), and an anode made of Mn metal-displayed a specific capacity of 105 mA h g-1. These results indicated the effectiveness of our new method for preparing low-cost and highly stable secondary Mn ion batteries.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are emerging as promising devices for energy storage applications. Porous solids, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), are well suited as electrode materials for technologies involving bulkier charge carriers. However, only limited progress has been made using pristine MOFs, primarily due to lack of redox-active organic groups in the materials. In this work a azo-functional MOF, namely UiO-abdc, is presented as an electrode compound for sodium-ion insertion. The MOF delivers a stable capacity (∼100 mA h g-1) over 150 cycles, and post-cycling characterisation validates the stability of the MOF and participation of the azo-group in charge storage. This study can accelerate the realisation of pristine solids, such as MOFs and other porous organic compounds, as battery materials.

Abstract
In the search for novel anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), organic electrode materials have recently attracted substantial attention and seem to be the next preferred candidates for use as high-performance anode materials in rechargeable LIBs due to their low cost, high theoretical capacity, structural diversity, environmental friendliness, and facile synthesis. Up to now, the electrochemical properties of numerous organic compounds with different functional groups (carbonyl, azo, sulfur, imine, etc.) have been thoroughly explored as anode materials for LIBs, dividing organic anode materials into four main classes: organic carbonyl compounds, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and organic compounds with nitrogen-containing groups. In this review, an overview of the recent progress in organic anodes is provided. The electrochemical performances of different organic anode materials are compared, revealing the advantages and disadvantages of each class of organic materials in both research and commercial applications. Afterward, the practical applications of some organic anode materials in full cells of LIBs are provided. Finally, some techniques to address significant issues, such as poor electronic conductivity, low discharge voltage, and undesired dissolution of active organic anode material into typical organic electrolytes, are discussed. This paper will guide the study of more efficient organic compounds that can be employed as high-performance anode materials in LIBs.

Abstract
Benzoquinone and hydroquinone cocrystallize to form quinhydrone, a 1:1 complex with a characteristic structure in which the components are positioned by hydrogen bonds and charge-transfer interactions. We have found that analogous diphenoquinhydrones can be made by combining 4,4'-diphenoquinones with the corresponding 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyls. In addition, mixed diphenoquinhydrones can be assembled from components with different substituents, and mismatched quinhydrones can be made from benzoquinones and dihydroxybiphenyls. In all cases, the components of the resulting structures are linked in alternation by O-H···O hydrogen bonds to form essentially planar chains, which stack to produce layers in which π-donors and π-acceptors are aligned by charge-transfer interactions. Geometric parameters, computational studies, and spectroscopic properties of diphenoquinhydrones show that the key intermolecular interactions are stronger than those in simple quinhydrone analogues. These findings demonstrate that the principles of modular construction underlying the formation of classical quinhydrones can be generalized to produce a broad range of hydrogen-bonded charge-transfer materials in which the components are positioned by design.

Abstract
The sluggish ion-transport in electrodes and low utilization of active materials are critical limitations of organic cathodes, which lead to the slow reaction dynamics and low specific capacity. In this study, the hierarchical tube is constructed by iron-hexaazatrinaphthalene tricarboxylic acid coordination polymer (Fe-HATNTA), using HATNTA as the self-engaged template to coordinate with Fe2+ ions. This Fe-HATNTA tube with hierarchical porous structure ensures the sufficient contact between electrolyte and active materials, shortens the diffusion distance, and provides more favorable transport pathways for ions. When employed as the cathode for rechargeable Li-ion batteries, Fe-HATNTA delivers a high specific capacity (244 mAh g-1 at 50 mA g-1 , 91% of theoretical capacity), excellent rate capability (128 mAh g-1 at 9 A g-1 ), and a long-term cycle life (73.9% retention over 3000 cycles at 5 A g-1 ). Moreover, the Li+ ions storage and conduction mechanisms are further disclosed by the ex situ and in situ characterizations, kinetic analyses, and theoretical calculations. This work is expected to boost further enthusiasm for developing the hierarchical structured metal-organic coordination polymers with superb ionic storage and transport as high-performance organic cathodes.

Abstract
Currently, new nanomaterials for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium- ion batteries (SIBs) are urgently needed. Materials combining porous structure (such as representatives of metal-organic frameworks) and the ability to operate both with lithium and sodium (such as transition-metal dichalcogenides) are of particular interest. Our work reports the computational modelling of a new A'-MoS2 structure and its application in LIBs and SIBs. The A'-MoS2 monolayer was dynamically stable and exhibited semiconducting properties with an indirect band gap of 0.74 eV. A large surface area, together with the presence of pores resulted in a high capacity of the A'-MoS2 equal to ~391 mAg-1 at maximum filling for both Li and Na atoms. High adsorption energies and small values of diffusion barriers indicate that the A'-MoS2 is promising in the application of anode material in LIBs and SIBs.

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
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
Electrochemical capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) using organic quinones is a promising and intensively studied alternative to the industrially established scrubbing processes. While recent studies focused only on the influence of substituents having a simple mesomeric or nucleophilicity effect, we have systematically selected six anthraquinone (AQ) derivatives (X-AQ) with amino and hydroxy substituents in order to thoroughly study the influence thereof on the properties of electrochemical CO2 capture. Experimental data from cyclic voltammetry (CV) and UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry of solutions in acetonitrile were analyzed and compared with innovative density functional tight binding computational results. Our experimental and theoretical results provide a coherent explanation of the influence of CO2 on the CV data in terms of weak and strong binding nomenclature of the dianions. In addition to this terminology, we have identified the dihydroxy substituted AQ as a new class of molecules forming rather unstable [X-AQ-(CO2) n ]2- adducts. In contrast to the commonly used dianion consideration, the results presented herein reveal opposite trends in stability for the X-AQ-CO2 •- radical species for the first time. To the best of our knowledge, this study presents theoretically calculated UV-Vis spectra for the various CO2-AQ reduction products for the first time, enabling a detailed decomposition of the spectroelectrochemical data. Thus, this work provides an extension of the existing classification with proof of the existence of X-AQ-CO2 species, which will be the basis of future studies focusing on improved materials for electrochemical CO2 capture.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials offer unique opportunities to utilize ion-electrode interactions to develop diverse, versatile, and high-performing secondary batteries, particularly for applications requiring high power densities. However, a lack of well-defined structure-property relationships for redox-active organic materials restricts the advancement of the field. Herein, we investigate a family of diimide-based polymer materials with several charge-compensating ions (Li+, Na+, K+) in order to systematically probe how redox-active moiety, ion, and polymer flexibility dictate their thermodynamic and kinetic properties. When favorable ion-electrode interactions are employed (e.g., soft K+ anions with soft perylenediimide dianions), the resulting batteries demonstrate increased working potentials and improved cycling stabilities. Further, for all polymers examined herein, we demonstrate that K+ accesses the highest percentage of redox-active groups due to its small solvation shell/energy. Through crown ether experiments, cyclic voltammetry, and activation energy measurements, we provide insights into the charge compensation mechanisms of three different polymer structures and rationalize these findings in terms of the differing degrees of improvements observed when cycling with K+. Critically, we find that the most flexible polymer enables access to the highest fraction of active sites due to the small activation energy barrier during charge/discharge. These results suggest that improved capacities may be accessible by employing more flexible structures. Overall, our in-depth structure-activity investigation demonstrates how variables such as polymer structure and cation can be used to optimize battery performance and enable the realization of novel battery chemistries.

Abstract
The high solubility of the small organic molecule materials in organic electrolytes hinders their development in rechargeable batteries. Hence, this work designs an ultrarobust hydrogen-bonded organic-inorganic hybrid material: the small organic unit of the 1,3,6,8-tetrakis (p-benzoic acid) pyrene (TBAP) molecule connected with the hydroxylated Ti3C2Tx MXene through hydrogen bonds between the terminal groups of -COOH and -OH. The robust and elastic hydrogen bonds can empower the TBAP, despite being a low-molecule organic chemical, with unusually low solubility in organic electrolytes and thermal stability. The alkali-treated Ti3C2Tx MXene provides a hydroxyl-rich conductive network, and the small organic molecule of TBAP reduces the restacking of MXene layers. Therefore, the combination of these two materials complements each other well, and this organic-inorganic TBAP@D-Ti3C2Tx electrode delivers large reversible capacities and long cyclic life. Notably, with the assistance of the in situ FT-IR characterization of the electrode within the fully lithiated (0.005 V) and the delithiated (3.0 V) states, it is revealed that a powerful π-Li cation effect mainly governs the lithium-storage mechanism with the highly activated benzene ring and each C6 aromatic ring, which can reversibly accept six Li-ions to form a 1:1 Li/C complex.

Abstract
Increasing mass loadings of battery electrodes critically enhances the energy density of an overall battery by eliminating much of the inactive components, while compacting the battery size and lowering the costs of the ingredients. A hard carbon microlattice, digitally designed and fabricated by stereolithography 3D-printing and pyrolysis, offers enormous potential for high-mass-loading electrodes. In this work, sodium-ion batteries using hard carbon microlattices produced by an inexpensive 3D printer are demonstrated. Controlled periodic carbon microlattices are created with enhanced ion transport through microchannels. Carbon microlattices with a beam width of 32.8 µm reach a record-high areal capacity of 21.3 mAh cm-2 at a loading of 98 mg cm-2 without degrading performance, which is much higher than the conventional monolithic electrodes (≈5.2 mAh cm-2 at 92 mg cm-2 ). Furthermore, binder-free, pure-carbon elements of microlattices enable the tracking of structural changes in hard carbon that support the hypothesized intercalation of ions at plateau regions by temporal ex situ X-ray diffraction measurements. These results will advance the development of high-performance and low-cost anodes for sodium-ion batteries as well as help with understanding the mechanisms of ion intercalations in hard carbon, expanding the utilities of 3D-printed carbon architectures in both applications and fundamental studies.

Abstract
Covalent organic polymers are attracting more and more attention for energy storage devices due to their lightweight, molecular viable design, stable structure, and environmental benignity. However, low charge-carrier mobility of pristine covalent organic materials is the main drawback for their application in lithium-ion batteries. Herein, a yolk-shell bimetal-modified quinonyl-rich covalent organic material, Co@2AQ-MnO2, has been designed and synthesized by in situ loading of petal-like nanosized MnO2 and coordinating with Co centers, with the aim to improve the charge conductivity of the covalent organic polymer and activate its Li-storage sites. As investigated by in situ FT-IR, ex situ XPS, and electrochemical probing, the quinonyl-rich structure provides abundant redox sites (carbonyl groups and π electrons from the benzene ring) for lithium reaction, and the introduction of two types of metallic species promotes the charge transfer and facilitates more efficient usage of active energy-storage sites in Co@2AQ-MnO2. Thus, the Co@2AQ-MnO2 electrode exhibits good cycling performance with large reversible capacity and excellent rate performance (1534.4 mA h g-1 after 200 cycles at 100 mA g-1 and 596.0 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1000 mA g-1).
