Abstract
Hierarchical polyimides (PIs) not only show outstanding thermal stability and high mechanical strength but also have great advantages in terms of microstructure and surface area, which makes them highly valuable in various fields such as aerospace, microelectronics, adsorption, catalysis, and energy storage. However, great challenges still remain in the synthesis of hierarchical PIs with well-defined microstructure. Herein, polyamide acid salts (PAAS) with tunable ionization degree are synthesized first via the polymerization of dianhydride and diamine monomers in deionized water with 1,2-dimethylimidazole (DMIZ). Then cationic cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) is added to the PAAS aqueous solution to induce the formation of polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes based on electrostatic interaction. After a typical hydrothermal reaction (HTR) procedure, hierarchical PIs with different microstructures such as urchin-like PI microparticles, flower-like PI microparticles, and lamellar PI petals can be fabricated simply by changing the additive amount of DMIZ and CTAC. The nanostructure self-assemblies of PAAS are dominated by the charges on macromolecular chains and the formation of hierarchical structures of polymers is ascribed to a geometrical selection process during crystal growth. This work provides valuable insights into the self-assembly behaviors of polyelectrolyte systems for synthesizing well-defined hierarchical polymers.

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

Abstract
Benzoquinone (BQ) is considered to be a desirable cathode material for aqueous zinc-based batteries. The major limitations of BQ electrode are the severe sublimation and poor electrical conductivity, which results in serious mass loss during electrode preparation and inferior rate performance. In this study, iodine (I2) species are utilized as an efficient catalyst for the highly reversible conversion of BQ/BQ2- couple in the Zn-BQ battery system, wherein N-doped porous carbon is employed as a host material for anchoring the BQ molecule. In the combination electrode (denoted as BQ-I@NPC) with 1wt% I2 additive where I2 can serve as a carrier to accelerates the Zn2+ transmission, and reduce the voltage hysteresis of the electrode. As a result, the BQ-I@NPC cathode delivers a high specific capacity of ≈482 mAh g-1 at 0.25 A g-1, realizing a high energy density of 545 Wh kg-1 (based on BQ), which is the highest values among reported organic cathode materials for aqueous Zn-based batteries. Also, a high BQ loading (8 mg cm-2) can be attained, and achieving a superior cycling stability with a capacity retention of ≈80% after 20,000 times at 10 C. The work proposes an effective approach toward high performance organic electrode materials.

Abstract
Sustainability and adaptability in structural design of the organic cathodes present promises for applications in alkali metal ion batteries. Nevertheless, a formidable challenge lies in their high solubility in organic electrolytes, particularly for small molecular materials, impeding cycling stability and high capacity. This study focuses on the design and synthesis of organic small molecules, the isomers of (E)-5,5'-difluoro-[3,3'-biindolinylidene]-2,2'-dione (EFID) and 3,9-difluoro-6,12-dihydrodibenzo [c, h][2,6]naphthyridine-5,11-dione (FBND). While EFID, characterized by a less π-conjugated structure, exhibits subpar cycling stability in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), intriguingly, another isomer, FBND, demonstrates exceptional capacity and cycling stability in LIBs. FBND delivers a remarkable capacity of 175 mAh g-1 at a current density of 0.05 A g-1 and maintains excellent cycling stability over 2000 cycles, retaining 90% of its initial capacity. Furthermore, an in-depth examination of redox reactions and storage mechanisms of FBND are conducted. The potential of FBND is also explored as an anode in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and as a cathode in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The FBND framework, featuring extended π-conjugated molecules with an imide structure compared to EFID, proves to be an excellent material template to develop advanced organic small molecular cathode materials for sustainable batteries.

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
One of the most effective cost reduction and green engineering projects is to introduce organic compounds to electrode materials instead of expensive inorganic-based materials. In this work, derivatives of perylene diimide substituted with amino acids (PDI_AAs) showed the characteristics of redox-active organic compounds and were, therefore, used as cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Among the as-synthesized PDI_AAs, the L-alanine-substituted PDI (PDI_A) showed the most improved cycling performances of 86 mAhg-1 over 150 cycles with retention of 95% at 50 mAg-1. Furthermore, at a high current density of 500 mAg-1, PDI_A exhibited a long-term cycling performance of 47 mAhg-1 (retention to 98%) over 5000 cycles. In addition, ex situ attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR FT-IR) analysis of electrodes at various charging states showed the mechanism of the charge-discharge process of PDI_A.

Abstract
Anthraquinone (AQ) and its derivatives have been attracting more attention as promising electrode materials for lithium storage because of their high specific capacity, structural diversity, and environmental friendliness. The dissolution and poor electrical conductivity of AQ, however, limit its practical application. Here, a novel metal-organic coordination polymer with a one-dimensional (1D) chain ([C14H6O4Cu]n denoted as Cu-DHAQ; DHAQ, 1,5-dihydroxyl anthraquinone) and its composite with graphene (Cu-DHAQ/G; G, graphene) are developed by the introduction of graphene and copper ion into DHAQ. The fabricated polymer with a 1D chain not only well inhibits the dissolution of DHAQ in organic electrolytes but also facilitates lithium-ion insertion/extraction on carbonyl groups and shortens the migration path of lithium ions. Furthermore, the addition of the conductive network of graphene provides fast transfer rates of electrons. As a result, Cu-DHAQ/G delivers a high discharge capacity, long cycle life, and excellent rate capability. The lithium storage mechanism shows lithium ion insertion/extraction on two carbonyl groups of Cu-DHAQ in the range of 1.6-2.0 V and the redox reaction of Cu+/Cu2+ between 2.8 and 3.0 V, and Cu2+ and Cu+ coexist in the Cu-DHAQ/G electrode during the charge/discharge process. This study provides meaningful guidance to develop metal-organic coordination polymer electrodes for high-performance Li-ion batteries.

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

Abstract
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
A novel hexaazatrinaphthylene-based (HATN) azo polymer (PAH) was synthesized from a newly designed tri-nitro compound trinitrodiquinoxalino[2,3-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (HATNTN) through a Zn-induced reductive homocoupling reaction and used as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The integration of redox-active HATN units and azo linkages can improve the specific capacity, rate performance, and cycling stability of the PAH cathode. The control LIBs were assembled from HATNTN, in which HATNTN can be electrochemically reduced to an HATN-based azo polymer. Compared with the HATNTN cathode, the PAH cathode delivers higher specific capacities with much-improved cycling stability (97 mA h g-1 capacity retention after 1500 cycles at 500 mA g-1, which is around 28 times that of the HATNTN cathode) and considerably better rate performance (118 mA h g-1 at 2000 mA g-1, which is around 90 times that of the HATNTN cathode), simultaneously. This work provides a chemical polymerization strategy to construct extended π-conjugated azo polymers with multiple redox centers from nitro compounds for developing high-performance LIBs.

Abstract
The electrochemical performance of rechargeable Mg batteries (RMBs) is primarily determined by the cathodes. However, the strong interaction between highly polarized Mg2+ and the host lattice is a big challenge for inorganic cathode materials. While endowed with weak interaction with Mg2+ , organic polymers are capable of fast reaction kinetics. Besides, with the advantages of light weight, abundance, low cost, and recyclability, polymers are deemed as ideal cathode materials for RMBs. Although polymer cathodes have remarkably progressed in recent years, there are still significant challenges to overcome before reaching practical application. In this perspective, the challenges faced by polymer cathodes are critically focused, followed by the retrospection of efforts devoted to design polymers. Some feasible strategies are proposed to explore new structures and chemistries for the practical application of polymer cathodes in RMBs.

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
In efforts to design organic cathode materials for rechargeable batteries, a fundamental understanding of the redox properties of diverse non-carbon-based functionalities incorporated into 9,10-anthraquinone is lacking despite their potential impact. Herein, a preliminary investigation of the potential of anthraquinones with halogenated nitrogen-based functionalities reveals that the Li-triggered structural collapse observed in the early stage of discharging can be ascribed to the preference toward the strong Lewis acid-base interaction of N-Li-X (X = F or Cl) over the repulsive interaction of the electron-rich N-X bond. A further study of three solutions (i.e., substitution of NX2 with (i) BX2, (ii) NH2, and (iii) BH2) to the structural decomposition issue highlights four conclusive remarks. First, the replacement of N and/or X with electron-deficient atom(s), such as B and/or H, relieves the repulsive force on the N-X bond without the assistance of Li, and thus, no structural decomposition occurs. Second, the incorporation of BH2 is verified to be the most beneficial for improving the theoretical performance. Third, all the redox properties are better correlated with electron affinity and solvation energy than the electronegativity of functionality, implying that these key parameters cooperatively contribute to the electrochemical redox potential; additionally, solvation energy plays a crucial role in determining cathodic deactivation. Fourth, the improvement to the Li storage capability of anthraquinone using the third solution can primarily be ascribed to solvation energy remaining at a negative value even after the binding of more Li atoms than the other derivatives.

Abstract
Aromatic polyimide (PI)-based compounds have been widely studied for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their higher specific energy density, economical, environmentally friendly and adjustable redox potential window. However, their solubility in aprotic electrolytes, inherently poor conductivity and low active site utilization limit their application in large-scale energy storage system (ESS). Here, we synthesized two aromatic PI-based conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) and integrated them with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) (TAPT-NTCDA@CNT and TAPT-PMDA@CNT) for using as cathode materials for LIBs and SIBs. The aromatic PI-based CMP can effectively utilize the redox activity site due to its abundant π-conjugated redox active units, stable imide bond, high specific surface area and clear pore structure. As expected, the optimum TAPT-NTCDA@CNT exhibits good rate performance (89.7 mAh g-1 at 2000 mA g-1) and long cycle stability (87.3% capacity retention after 500 cycles) in LIBs. Also, TAPT-NTCDA@CNT can provide a higher initial capacity of 91.1 mAh g-1 in SIBs at 30 mA g-1. This work provides key insights for the further development of other new organic electrodes for other advanced rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Aromatic polyimide (PI) derivatives have recently been investigated as redox-active electrode materials for Li-ion batteries because of their high thermal stability and thermo-oxidative stability complemented by excellent solvent resistance, good electrical and mechanical properties, and chemical resistance. In this work, we report two PI derivatives from a newly synthesized 4,4'-diamino-3″,4″-dicyanotriphenylamine (DiCN-TPA) monomer and two dianhydrides, pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (NTCDA); designated as TPA-PMPI and TPA-NTCPI, respectively, as electrode materials for Li-ion batteries. Characterizations of the PIs reveal excellent thermal stability and bipolar property. The incorporation of DiCN-TPA into the polymer structure resulted to a disordered chain arrangement, thus giving high glass transition temperatures (Tg). Electrochemical performance tests reveal that TPA-NTCPI cathode delivered a reversible specific capacity of 150 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and exhibited a stability up to 1000 cycles. On the other hand, TPA-PMPI anode delivered a high specific capacity of up to 1600 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 after 100 cycles. The electrochemical performance of TPA-NTCPI cathode and TPA-PMPI anode are both among the best compared with other reported aromatic PI-based electrodes. The long cycle lifetime and excellent battery performance further suggest that TPA-NTCPI and TPA-PMPI are promising organic electrode materials for next generation Li-ion batteries.

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.
