Abstract
Rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries have been deemed a promising energy storage device. However, the dendrite growth and side reactions have hindered their practical application. Herein, inspired by the ultrafluidic and K+ ion-sieving flux through enzyme-gated potassium channels (KcsA) in biological plasma membranes, a metal-organic-framework (MOF-5) grafted with -ClO4 groups (MOF-ClO4) as functional enzymes is fabricated to mimic the ultrafluidic lipid-bilayer structure for gating Zn2+ 'on' and anions 'off' states. The MOF-ClO4 achieved perfect Zn2+/SO4 2- selectivity (∼10), enhanced Zn2+ transfer number ([Formula: see text]) and the ultrafluidic Zn2+ flux (1.9 × 10-3 vs. 1.67 mmol m-2 s-1 for KcsA). The symmetric cells based on MOF-ClO4 achieve a lifespan of over 5400 h at 10 mA cm-2/20 mAh cm-2. Specifically, the performance of the PMCl-Zn//V2O5 pouch cell keeps 81% capacity after 2000 cycles at 1 A g-1. The regulated ion transport, by learning from a biological plasma membrane, opens a new avenue towards ultralong lifespan aqueous batteries.

Abstract
To meet the growing demand for energy storage, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with fast charging capabilities has emerged as a critical technology. The electrode materials affect the rate performance significantly. Organic electrodes with structural flexibility support fast lithium-ion transport and are considered promising candidates for fast-charging LIBs. However, it is a challenge to create organic electrodes that can cycle steadily and reach high energy density in a few minutes. To solve this issue, accelerating the transport of electrons and lithium ions in the electrode is the key. Here, it is demonstrated that a ferrocene-based polymer electrode (Fc-SO3Li) can be used as a fast-charging organic electrode for LIBs. Thanks to its molecular architecture, LIBs with Fc-SO3Li show exceptional cycling stability (99.99% capacity retention after 10 000 cycles) and reach an energy density of 183 Wh kg-1 in 72 seconds. Moreover, the composite material through in situ polymerization with Fc-SO3Li and 50 wt % carbon nanotube (denoted as Fc-SO3Li-CNT50) achieved optimized electron and ion transport pathways. After 10 000 cycles at a high current density of 50C, it delivered a high energy density of 304 Wh kg-1. This study provides valuable insights into designing cathode materials for LIBs that combine high power and ultralong cycle life.

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
Three new ligands based on the alloxazine core appended with pyridyl coordinating groups have been designed, synthesized, and characterized. The ligands are revealed to be redox-active in DMF solution, as attested to by CV and combined CV/EPR studies. The spin of the reduced species appears to be delocalized on the alloxazine core, as attested to by DFT calculations. The coordination abilities of one of the ligands toward Cu2+ or Ni2+ 3d cations revealed the formation of the first alloxazine-based 3D coordination polymers, presenting strong π-π stacking and substantial cavities. Preliminarily charge/discharge experiments in Li batteries evidence Li+ insertion in such systems.

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
Organic electrode materials have garnered a great deal of interest owing to their sustainability, cost-efficiency, and design flexibility metrics. Despite numerous endeavors to fine-tune their redox potential, the pool of organic positive electrode materials with a redox potential above 3 V versus Li+/Li0, and maintaining air stability in the Li-reservoir configuration remains limited. This study expands the chemical landscape of organic Li-ion positive electrode chemistries towards the 4 V-class through molecular design based on electron density depletion within the redox center via the mesomeric effect of electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs). This results in the development of novel families of conjugated triflimides and cyanamides as high-voltage electrode materials for organic lithium-ion batteries. These are found to exhibit ambient air stability and demonstrate reversible electrochemistry with redox potentials spanning the range of 3.1 V to 3.8 V (versus Li+/Li0), marking the highest reported values so far within the realm of n-type organic chemistries. Through comprehensive structural analysis and extensive electrochemical studies, we elucidate the relationship between the molecular structure and the ability to fine-tune the redox potential. These findings offer promising opportunities to customize the redox properties of organic electrodes, bridging the gap with their inorganic counterparts for application in sustainable and eco-friendly electrochemical energy storage devices.

Abstract
Organic nonaqueous redox flow batteries (O-NRFBs) are promising energy storage devices due to their scalability and reliance on sourceable materials. However, finding suitable redox-active organic molecules (redoxmers) for these batteries remains a challenge. Using plant-based compounds as precursors for these redoxmers can decrease their costs and environmental toxicity. In this computational study, flavonoid molecules have been examined as potential redoxmers for O-NRFBs. Flavone and isoflavone derivatives were selected as catholyte (positive charge carrier) and anolyte (negative charge carrier) molecules, respectively. To drive their redox potentials to the opposite extremes, in silico derivatization was performed using a novel algorithm to generate a library of > 40000 candidate molecules that penalizes overly complex structures. A multiobjective Bayesian optimization based active learning algorithm was then used to identify best redoxmer candidates in these search spaces. Our study provides methodologies for molecular design and optimization of natural scaffolds and highlights the need of incorporating expert chemistry awareness of the natural products and the basic rules of synthetic chemistry in machine learning.

Abstract
The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has increased rapidly. However, commercial inorganic-based cathode materials have a low theoretical capacity and inherent disadvantages, such as high cost and toxicity. Redox-active organic cathodes with a high theoretical capacity, eco-friendly properties, and sustainability have been developed to overcome these limitations. Herein, perylene diimide derivatives N-substituted with 1,2,4-triazol-3-yl rings (PDI-3AT) were developed to apply as a cathode material for LIBs. The PDI-3AT cathode exhibited discharge capacities of 85.2 mAh g-1 (50 mA g-1 over 100 cycles) and 64.5 mAh g-1 (500 mA g-1 over 1000 cycles) with ratios to the theoretical capacities of 84 and 64%, respectively. Electrochemical kinetics analysis showed capacitive behaviors of the PDI-3AT cathode with efficient pathways for lithium-ion transport. Also, the activation step of the PDI-3AT cathode was demonstrated by improving the charge transfer resistance and lithium-ion diffusion coefficient during the initial few charge-discharge cycles. Furthermore, DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G** level and ex situ analysis of various charge states of the PDI-3AT electrode using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR FT-IR) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were conducted for the further study of the lithium-ion storage mechanism. The results showed that the lithiation process formed the lithium enolate (═C-O-Li) coordinated with the N atoms of the 1,2,4-triazole ring. It is expected that our study results will encourage the production and use of redox-active perylene diimide derivatives as next-generation cathode materials.

Abstract
This work reports a covalent organic framework composite structure (PMDA-NiPc-G), incorporating multiple-active carbonyls and graphene on the basis of the combination of phthalocyanine (NiPc(NH2 )4 ) containing a large π-conjugated system and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) as the anode of lithium-ion batteries. Meanwhile, graphene is used as a dispersion medium to reduce the accumulation of bulk covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to obtain COFs with small-volume and few-layers, shortening the ion migration path and improving the diffusion rate of lithium ions in the two dimensional (2D) grid layered structure. PMDA-NiPc-G showed a lithium-ion diffusion coefficient (DLi + ) of 3.04 × 10-10 cm2 s-1 which is 3.6 times to that of its bulk form (0.84 × 10-10 cm2 s-1 ). Remarkably, this enables a large reversible capacity of 1290 mAh g-1 can be achieved after 300 cycles and almost no capacity fading in the next 300 cycles at 100 mA g-1 . At a high areal capacity loading of ≈3 mAh cm-2 , full batteries assembled with LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 (NCM-811) and LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes showed 60.2% and 74.7% capacity retention at 1 C for 200 cycles. Astonishingly, the PMDA-NiPc-G/NCM-811 full battery exhibits ≈100% capacity retention after cycling at 0.2 C. Aided by the analysis of kinetic behavior of lithium storage and theoretical calculations, the capacity-enhancing mechanism and lithium storage mechanism of covalent organic frameworks are revealed. This work may lead to more research on designable, multifunctional COFs for electrochemical energy storage.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2301993. [PMID: 37750249 PMCID: PMC10625108 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202301993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
Herein, the self-reinforced inductive effect derived from coexistence of both p- and n-type redox-active motifs in a single organic molecule is presented. Molecular orbital energy levels of each motif are dramatically tuned, which leads to the higher oxidation and the lower reduction potentials. The self-reinforced inductive effect of the symmetric bipolar organic molecule, N,N'-dimethylquinacridone (DMQA), is corroborated, by both experimental and theoretical methods. Furthermore, its redox mechanism and reaction pathway in the Li+ -battery system are scrutinized. DMQA shows excellent capacity retention at the operating voltage of 3.85 and 2.09 V (vs Li+ /Li) when used as the cathode and anode, respectively. Successful operation of DMQA electrodes in a symmetric all-organic battery is also demonstrated. The comprehensive insight into the energy storage capability of the symmetric bipolar organic molecule and its self-reinforced inductive effect is provided. Thus, a new class of organic electrode materials for symmetric all-organic batteries as well as conventional rechargeable batteries can be conceived.

Abstract
Organic materials are promising for cation storage in calcium ion batteries (CIBs). However, the high solubility of organic materials in an electrolyte and low electronic conductivity remain the key challenges for high-performance CIBs. Herein, a nitrogen-rich covalent organic framework with multiple carbonyls (TB-COF) is designed as an aqueous anode to address those obstacles. TB-COF demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 253 mAh g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 and long cycle life (0.01% capacity decay per cycle at 5 A g-1 after 3000 cycles). The redox mechanism of Ca2+/H+ co-intercalated in COF and chelating with C═O and C═N active sites is validated. In addition, a novel C═C active site was identified for Ca2+ ion storage. Both computational and empirical results reveal that per TB-COF repetitive unit, up to nine Ca2+ ions are stored after three staggered intercalation steps, involving three distinct Ca2+ ion storage sites. Finally, the evolution process of radical intermediates further elucidates the C═C reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Organic electroactive materials take advantage of potentially sustainable production and structural tunability compared to present commercial inorganic materials. Unfortunately, traditional redox flow batteries based on toxic redox-active metal ions have certain deficiencies in resource utilization and environmental protection. In comparison, organic electroactive materials in aqueous redox flow batteries (ARFBs) have received extensive attention in recent years for low-cost and sustainable energy storage systems due to their inherent safety. This review aims to provide the recent progress in organic electroactive materials for ARFBs. The main reaction types of organic electroactive materials are classified in ARFBs to provide an overview of how to regulate their solubility, potential, stability, and viscosity. Then, the organic anolyte and catholyte in ARFBs are summarized according to the types of quinones, viologens, nitroxide radicals, hydroquinones, etc, and how to increase the solubility by designing various functional groups is emphasized. The research advances are presented next in the characterization of organic electroactive materials for ARFBs. Future efforts are finally suggested to focus on building neutral ARFBs, designing advanced electroactive materials through molecular engineering, and resolving problems of commercial applications.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials are promising for the future energy storage systems owing to their tunable structures, abundant resources, and environmental friendliness. Many advanced lithium-ion batteries with organic electrodes have been developed and show excellent performance. However, developing organic materials with overall superior performance still faces great challenges, such as low capacity, poor stability, inferior conductivity, and low utilization of active sites. To address these issues, a bipolar polymer (Fc-DAB) is designed and further polymerized in situ with three-dimensional graphene (3DG), offering a hybrid material (Fc-DAB@3DG) with a variety of merits. Fc-DAB possesses stable polymer backbone and multiple redox-active sites that can improve stability and capacity simultaneously. The embedded highly conductive 3DG network endows Fc-DAB@3DG with stable conductive framework, large surface area, and porous morphology all together, so the fast diffusion of ions/electrons can be achieved, leading to high utilization of active sites and enhanced electrochemical performance. As a result, Fc-DAB@3DG cathode delivers capacity of ≈260 mA h g-1 at 25 mA g-1 , ultra-long cycle life over 15 000 cycles at 2000 mA g-1 with retention of 99.999% per cycle, and remarkable rate performance. The quasi-solid Li-metal battery and full cell fabricated using this material also exhibit superior electrochemical performance.

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
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
Novel small sulfur heterocyclic quinones (6a,16a-dihydrobenzo[b]naphtho[2',3':5,6][1,4]dithiino[2,3-i]thianthrene-5,7,9,14,16,18-hexaone (4S6Q) and benzo[b]naphtho[2',3':5,6][1,4]dithiino[2,3-i]thianthrene-5,9,14,18-tetraone (4S4Q)) are developed by molecule structural design method and as cathode for aqueous zinc-organic batteries. The conjugated thioether (-S-) bonds as connected units not only improve the conductivity of compounds but also inhibit their dissolution by both extended π-conjugated plane and constructed flexible molecular skeleton. Hence, the Zn//4S6Q and Zn//4S4Q batteries exhibit satisfactory electrochemical performance based on 3.5 mol L-1 (M) Zn(ClO4)2 electrolyte. For instance, the Zn//4S6Q battery obtains 240 and 208.6 mAh g-1 of discharge capacity at 150 mA g-1 and 30 A g-1, respectively. The excellent rate capability is ascribed to the fast reaction kinetics. This system displays a superlong life of 20,000 cycles with no capacity fading at 3 A g-1. Additionally, the H+-storage mechanism of the 4S6Q compound is demonstrated by ex situ analyses and density functional theory calculations. Impressively, the battery can normally work at - 60 °C benefiting from the anti-freezing electrolyte and maintain a high discharge capacity of 201.7 mAh g-1, which is 86.2% of discharge capacity at 25 °C. The cutting-edge electrochemical performances of these novel compounds make them alternative electrode materials for Zn-organic batteries.

Abstract
Organic cathode materials have attracted extensive research interest for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their diverse structures and tunable properties. However, the preparation of organic cathode materials with high capacities, long cycling life, and high energy densities still remains a big challenge. To address these issues, we designed and synthesized a novel multinitro-decorated organic small molecule, N4,N4''-bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-5'-(4-((2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino)phenyl)-[1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4,4''-diamine (TAPB-6NO2), where the unique electronic character of nitro group should enable TAPB-6NO2 to be a promising cathode candidate for LIBs. We found that the introduction of multiple nitro groups could efficiently reduce the solubility of TAPB-6NO2 in organic electrolytes, resulting in a high specific capacity of around 180 mAh g-1 and stable cycling with a capacity retention of 91% after 1100 cycles at 1000 mA g-1. This work suggests that attaching multiple nitro groups on a small molecule is an effective approach to construct high-performance organic cathode materials for stable and sustainable rechargeable LIBs.

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
Although organic cathode materials with sustainability and structural designability have great potential for rechargeable lithium batteries, the dissolution issue presents a huge challenge to meet the demands of cycling stability and energy density simultaneously. Herein, we have designed and successfully synthesized two novel small-molecule organic cathode materials (SMOCMs) by the same innovative route, namely 7,14-diazabenzo[a]tetracene-5,6,8,13-tetraone (DABTTO) and 7,9,16,18-tetraazadibenzo[a,l]pentacene-5,6,8,14,15,17-hexaone (TADBPHO). The integrated p-quinone, o-quinone, and pyrazine groups provide these SMOCMs with attractive theoretical capacities of 473 and 568 mAh g-1 based on 6- and 10-electron reactions, respectively, which were almost fully utilized within 0.8-3.8 V vs Li+/Li. The extended aromatic nucleus of TADBPHO makes it much less soluble than DABTTO and thus able to achieve the highest level of cycling stability (66% @ 500th cycle) for SMOCMs in addition to the exceptional energy density (364 mAh g-1 × 2.56 V = 932 Wh kg-1) within 1.5-3.8 V. In addition to the excellent electrochemical performance, the redox reaction and capacity fading mechanisms have been also investigated in detail. The novel approach to construct extended π-conjugated molecules with o-quinone groups is enlightening for the development of high-energy and stable OCMs for future efficient and sustainable energy storage devices.

Abstract
Bioderived molecules have been identified as viable anodes for organic potassium-ion batteries (OPIBs) due to the abundance of the necessary natural resources, their high capacity, and their sustainability. However, the high solubility and the inherent nonconductivity cause serious capacity decay and large voltage hysteresis. Here, the biomass molecule juglone was cross-linked with a carbon nanotube network, coupling and cooperating with sodium alginate binder (J@CNT-SA), and was proposed to inhibit small molecule dissolution via weak intermolecular interactions. The synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking is proven for its outstanding reversible high capacities (262 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1), and a remarkable long life span with capacity retention of 77% over 5000 cycles. Further in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed to reveal the electrochemical mechanism. The feasibility of juglone as an anode for PIBs paves the way for other natural organic small molecules to be investigated as potential energy storage materials.

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

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are an increasingly attractive option for renewable energy storage, thus providing flexibility for the supply of electrical energy. In recent years, research in this type of battery storage has been shifted from metal-ion based electrolytes to soluble organic redox-active compounds. Aqueous-based organic electrolytes are considered as more promising electrolytes to achieve "green", safe, and low-cost energy storage. Many organic compounds and their derivatives have recently been intensively examined for application to redox flow batteries. This work presents an up-to-date overview of the redox organic compound groups tested for application in aqueous RFB. In the initial part, the most relevant requirements for technical electrolytes are described and discussed. The importance of supporting electrolytes selection, the limits for the aqueous system, and potential synthetic strategies for redox molecules are highlighted. The different organic redox couples described in the literature are grouped in a "family tree" for organic redox couples. This article is designed to be an introduction to the field of organic redox flow batteries and aims to provide an overview of current achievements as well as helping synthetic chemists to understand the basic concepts of the technical requirements for next-generation energy storage materials.

Abstract
The status of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) has a substantial prognostic value because these nodes are the first place where cancer cells accumulate along their spreading route. Routine SLN biopsy ("gold standard") involves peritumoral injections of radiopharmaceuticals, such as technetium-99m, which has obvious disadvantages. This review examines the methods used as "gold standard" analogs to diagnose SLNs. Nonradioactive preoperative and intraoperative methods of SLN detection are analyzed. Promising photonic tools for SLNs detection are reviewed, including NIR-I/NIR-II fluorescence imaging, photoswitching dyes for SLN detection, in vivo photoacoustic detection, imaging and biopsy of SLNs. Also are discussed methods of SLN detection by magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonic imaging systems including as combined with photoacoustic imaging, and methods based on the magnetometer-aided detection of superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The advantages and disadvantages of nonradioactive SLN-detection methods are shown. The review concludes with prospects for the use of conservative diagnostic methods in combination with photonic tools.

Abstract
With the ever-increasing demand on energy storage systems and subsequent mass production, there is an urgent need for the development of batteries with not only improved electrochemical performance but also better sustainability-related features such as environmental friendliness and low production cost. To date, transition metals that are sparse have been centrally employed in energy storage devices ranging from portable lithium ion batteries (e.g., cobalt and nickel) to large-scale redox flow batteries (e.g., vanadium). Toward the sustainable battery chemistry, there are ongoing efforts to replace the transition metal-based electrode materials in these systems to redox-active organic materials (ROMs). Most ROMs are composed of the earth abundant elements (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur), thus are less restrained by the resource, and their production does not require high-energy consuming processes. Furthermore, the structural diversity and chemical tunability of organic compounds make them more attractive for the versatile design of future energy storage systems. Accordingly, the timely development of high-performance ROM-based electrodes would expedite the shift from the current resource-limited battery chemistry to more sustainable energy solutions.In this Account, we provide an overview of the endeavors to employ and develop ROMs as high-performance active materials for various battery systems. Diverse approaches will be introduced starting from the new ROM design mimicking the energy carrying molecules in biological metabolism to the chemical modifications to tailor the properties for specific battery systems. The molecular redesign of ROM, for example, can be carried out by substituting heteroatoms in the redox center, which leads to the enhancement of the redox potential by the inductive effect. Or, tailoring the ROM molecule by removing redox-inactive functionals results in a reduced molecular weight, thereby an increased specific capacity. The intrinsic limitations of ROMs, such as the low electrical conductivity and the dissolving nature, have been under extensive scrutiny; however, they can be partly addressed through efforts including intermolecular fusion and/or nanoscale hybridization with a conducting scaffold. On the other hand, this problematic dissolving nature of ROMs makes them appealing for some new battery configurations such as redox flow batteries that employ the liquid-state active materials. The high solubility and the stability of the ROM were found to be beneficial in attaining the enhanced energy density and the cycle stability of flow batteries, which could be further optimized by the chemical modifications of ROMs. Besides the role of active materials, the redox activity of ROMs has also enabled their use as catalysts to promote the electrode reaction in metal-air batteries. The redox capability of the ROM was often proven to be effective in the solution-based redox mediation that facilitates both the charging and discharging reaction in metal-air batteries. Finally, we conclude this account by proposing the future research directions regarding the fundamental electrochemistry and the further practical development of ROMs for the sustainable rechargeable energy storage.

Abstract
Energy storage systems are crucial in the deployment of renewable energies. As one of the most promising solutions, redox flow batteries (RFBs) are still hindered for practical applications by low energy density, high cost, and environmental concerns. To breakthrough the fundamental solubility limit that restricts boosting energy density of the cell, we here demonstrate a new RFB system employing polysulfide and high concentrated ferricyanide (up to 1.6 M) species as reactants. The RFB cell exhibits high cell performances with capacity retention of 96.9% after 1,500 cycles and low reactant cost of $32.47/kWh. Moreover, neutral aqueous electrolytes are environmentally benign and cost-effective. A cell stack is assembled and exhibits low capacity fade rate of 0.021% per cycle over 642 charging-discharging steps (spans 60 days). This neutral polysulfide/ferricyanide RFB technology with high safety, long-duration, low cost, and feasibility of scale-up is an innovative design for storing massive energy.

Here, the synergistic effect of cation and anion to break the hydrogen-bonds network of original water molecules is demonstrated by multi-perspective characterization. Then, an aqueous-salt hydrates deep eutectic solvent of 3.5 M Mg(ClO4)2 + 1 M Zn(ClO4)2 is proposed and displays an ultralow freezing point of - 121 °C. A high ionic conductivity of 1.41 mS cm-1 and low viscosity of 22.9 mPa s at - 70 °C imply a fast ions transport behavior of this electrolyte. With the benefits of the low-temperature electrolyte, the fabricated Zn||Pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO) and Zn||Phenazine (PNZ) batteries exhibit satisfactory low-temperature performance. For example, Zn||PTO battery shows a high discharge capacity of 101.5 mAh g-1 at 0.5 C (200 mA g-1) and 71 mAh g-1 at 3 C (1.2 A g-1) when the temperature drops to - 70 °C. This work provides an unique view to design anti-freezing aqueous electrolyte.

Abstract
Structural diversity, designability, and eco-friendliness make organic electrode materials appealing for next-generation rechargeable batteries. However, most of them show low specific capacity and poor cycling stability, which limit their further application. To develop high-capacity imide-based cathode materials, three C3 -symmetric triimides were designed. Systematic comparisons of these triimides as cathode materials revealed that extending π-conjugation and incorporating multiple redox centers improved the cell performance in terms of specific capacity and cycling stability. In particular, a nitrogen-rich heteroaromatic hexaazatrinaphthylene triimide (HATNTI-Pr) with multiple active sites (imide and pyrazine) exhibited high specific capacity. Hybridized with graphene sheets, a HATNTI-Pr-based binder-free cathode delivered a high practical capacity (317 mAh g-1 at 0.1 C), excellent cycling stability (80 % retention after 100 cycles), and considerable rate performance (75 mAh g-1 at 5 C). The energy storage mechanism of HATNTI-Pr with up to nine Li+ storage ability was investigated.

Abstract
Due to the obvious advantage in potassium reserves, potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are now receiving increasing research attention as an alternative energy storage system for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Unfortunately, the large size of K+ makes it a challenging task to identify suitable electrode materials, particularly cathode ones that determine the energy density of PIBs, capable of tolerating the serious structural deformation during the continuous intercalation/deintercalation of K+ . It is therefore of paramount importance that proper design principles of cathode materials be followed to ensure stable electrochemical performance if a practical application of PIBs is expected. Herein, the current knowledge on the structural engineering of cathode materials acquired during the battle against its performance degradation is summarized. The K+ storage behavior of different types of cathodes is discussed in detail and the structure-performance relationship of materials sensitive to their different lattice frameworks is highlighted. The key issues facing the future development of different categories of cathode materials are also highlighted and perspectives for potential approaches and strategies to promote the further development of PIBs are provided.

Abstract
Organic active materials are regarded as a very promising choice for lithium batteries because of several outstanding advantages such as low-cost, flexible tunability and pollution-free sources. Viologen compounds are attractive two-electron storage materials with low redox potentials, which are mainly used as anolytes in redox flow batteries (RFBs) considering their high solubility in electrolytes. However, due to their relatively large molecular weight and low density, it is difficult to prepare high-loading and stable-cycling electrodes for lithium battery application. In this research, by adopting 4,4'-bipyridine as the raw material and combining salification with a high-energy ball milling method, a low-solubility and high-stability viologen carbon-coated composite, ethyl viologen dihexafluorophosphate-Ketjen black (EV-KB), is synthesized. Then, by optimizing the electrode preparation process, a high-loading viologen-based electrode is successfully prepared. Salification effectively reduces the solubility of viologen compounds in the electrolyte so that the EV-KB composite can be used in lithium batteries. At the same time, it is pointed out that current collectors and slurry solvents play an important role in achieving the high-loading electrode. By deliberately selecting carbon paper as the current collector and ethanol as the solvent, the EV-KB composite organic electrode with a loading up to 1.5-9 mg cm-2 can achieve a specific capacity of 106-79 mA h g-1 for 400 stable cycles with a coulombic efficiency of 96% as well as a good rate capability. The synthesis method and electrode preparation optimization process introduced in this paper provide a reference for other types of organic active materials to be used in high-loading lithium batteries.

Abstract
The production of rechargeable batteries is rapidly expanding, and there are going to be new challenges in the near future about how the potential environmental impact caused by the disposal of the large volume of the used batteries can be minimized. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed to address these concerns by applying biodegradable device technology. An eco-friendly and biodegradable sodium-ion secondary battery (SIB) is developed through extensive material screening followed by the synthesis of biodegradable electrodes and their seamless assembly with an unconventional biodegradable separator, electrolyte, and package. Each battery component decomposes in nature into non-toxic compounds or elements via hydrolysis and/or fungal degradation, with all of the biodegradation products naturally abundant and eco-friendly. Detailed biodegradation mechanisms and toxicity influence of each component on living organisms are determined. In addition, this new SIB delivers performance comparable to that of conventional non-degradable SIBs. The strategy and findings suggest a novel eco-friendly biodegradable paradigm for large-scale rechargeable battery systems.

Abstract
Lumichrome (7,8-dimethylalloxazine, LC) is a natural photodegradation product and catabolite of flavin coenzymes. Although not a coenzyme itself, LC is used for biosignaling in plants and single-celled organisms, including quorum sensing in the formation of biofilms. The noninvasive detection of in vivo lumichrome would be useful for monitoring this signaling event. For molecules that undergo significant charge redistribution upon light excitation (e.g., intramolecular charge transfer), there are optical detection methods (e.g., second-harmonic generation) that would be well suited to this task. Here, we have used Stark spectroscopy to measure the extent and direction of charge redistribution in photoexcited LC. Stark and low-temperature absorption spectra were obtained at 77 K on LC in ethanol glasses and analyzed using the Liptay analysis to obtain the difference dipole moments and polarizabilities. These data were complemented by a computational analysis of the excited states using density functional theory (DFT) at the TD-B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level of theory.

Abstract
A series of novel soluble nature-inspired flavin derivatives substituted with short butyl and bulky ethyl-adamantyl alkyl groups was prepared via simple and straightforward synthetic approach with moderate to good yields. The comprehensive characterization of the materials, to assess their application potential, has demonstrated that the modification of the conjugated flavin core enables delicate tuning of the absorption and emission properties, optical bandgap, frontier molecular orbital energies, melting points, and thermal stability. Moreover, the thin films prepared thereof exhibit smooth and homogeneous morphology with generally high stability over time.

Abstract
Bioinspired materials have become increasingly competitive for electronic applications in recent years owing to the environment-friendly alternatives they offer. The notion of biocompatible solid organic electrolytes addresses the issues concerning potential leakage of corrosive liquids, volatility and flammability of electrolyte solvents. This study presents a new intrinsically coordinated LiI adenine complex that exhibits electrical conductivity as a solid electrolyte capable of self-sustained supply of LiI ions. It exhibits conductivity through moisture-assisted LiI ion motion up to 373 K, and possibly by an ion-hopping mechanism beyond 373 K. This purine-derived solid electrolyte shows enhanced conductivity and transference number demonstrating the potential of purine-based ligands and their coordination complexes in interesting materials applications.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are critical enablers for next-generation grid-scale energy-storage systems, due to their scalability and flexibility in decoupling power and energy. Aqueous RFBs (ARFBs) using nonflammable electrolytes are intrinsically safe. However, their development has been limited by their low energy density and high cost. Developing ARFBs with higher energy density, lower cost, and longer lifespan than the current standard is of significant interest to academic and industrial research communities. Here, a critical review of the latest progress on advanced electrolyte material designs of ARFBs is presented, including a fundamental overview of their physicochemical properties, major challenges, and design strategies. Assessment methodologies and metrics for the evaluation of RFB stability are discussed. Finally, future directions for material design to realize practical applications and achieve the commercialization of ARFB energy-storage systems are highlighted.

Abstract
Organic-based electrodes for Li- and Na-ion batteries present attractive alternatives to commonly applied inorganic counterparts which can often carry with them supply-chain risks, safety concerns with thermal runaway, and adverse environmental impact. The ability to chemically direct the structure of organic electrodes through control over functional groups is of particular importance, as this provides a route to fine-tune electrochemical performance parameters. Here, we report two benzo-dipteridine derivatives, BF-Me2 and BF-H2 , as high-capacity electrodes for use in Li- and Na-ion batteries. These moieties permit binding of multiple Li-ions per molecule while simultaneously ensuring low solubility in the supporting electrolyte, often a precluding issue with organic electrodes. Both display excellent electrochemical stability, with discharge capacities of 142 and 182 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a C/10 rate and Coulombic efficiencies of 96% and ∼ 100% demonstrated for BF-Me2 and BF-H2 , respectively. The application of a Na-ion cell has also been demonstrated, showing discharge capacities of 88.8 and 137 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at a C/2 rate for BF-Me2 and BF-H2 , respectively. This work provides an encouraging precedent for these and related structures to provide versatile, high-energy density, and long cycle-life electrochemical energy storage materials.

Abstract
Aqueous batteries using inorganic compounds as electrode materials are considered a promising solution for grid-scale energy storage, while wide application is limited by the short life and/or high cost of electrodes. Organics with carbonyl groups are being investigated as the alternative to inorganic electrode materials because they offer the advantages of tunable structures, renewability, and they are environmentally benign. Furthermore, the wide internal space of such organic materials enables flexible storage of various charged ions (for example, H+ , Li+ , Na+ , K+ , Zn2+ , Mg2+ , and Ca2+ , and so on). We offer a comprehensive overview of the progress of organics containing carbonyls for energy storage and conversion in aqueous electrolytes, including applications in aqueous batteries as solid-state electrodes, in flow batteries as soluble redox species, and in water electrolysis as redox buffer electrodes. The advantages of organic electrodes are summarized, with a discussion of the challenges remaining for their practical application.
