A small organic molecule with multiple redox-active sites shows promise in the development of next-generation electric energy storage systems, especia

The capacityrate capability of HATAQ are found to be the best ever reported for organic small-molecule-based cathodes,superior to that commercial LIBs. This peculiar material is found to behave excellently as cathode in rechargeable organic batteries with more extended π-conjugationlarger number of redox-active sites, facilitating charge transportyielding extra-high capacity for lithium storage. Especially, a unique network of unconventional hydrogen bonds in the solid-state facilitates favorable 2D layered arrangement, enhancing cycling stability.

Compared to their inorganic counterparts, organic compounds are more environment-friendly, lightweight, no expensivetoxic metals,can be recycledprepared from renewable resources. The organic LIB in this work excels commercial LIBs at capacity, rate capability, cycling stability,battery cycle life. It is extremely promising for the development of electric cars, green energy,large-scale energy storage systems. As a sustainable energy storage technology, this organic LIB will be able to create tremendous profits.
