Abstract
Organic materials have been considered as promising electrodes for next-generation rechargeable batteries in view of their sustainability, structural flexibility, and potential recyclability. The radical intermediates generated during the redox process of organic electrodes have profound effect on the reversible capacity, operation voltage, rate performance, and cycling stability. However, the radicals are highly reactive and have very short lifetime during the redox of organic materials. Great efforts have been devoted to capturing and investigating the radical intermediates in organic electrodes. Herein, this review summarizes the importance, history, structures, and working principles of organic radicals in rechargeable batteries. More importantly, challenges and strategies to track and regulate the radicals in organic batteries are highlighted. Finally, further perspectives of organic radicals are proposed for the development of next-generation high-performance rechargeable organic batteries.

Abstract
Rechargeable sodium batteries hold great promise for circumventing the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and the limited supply of lithium. However, efficient sodium ion storage remains a great impediment in this field. In this study, we report the designed synthesis of a multifunctional two-dimensional covalent organic framework featuring hexaazatrinaphthalene cores linked by imidazole moieties and demonstrate its effective performance in sodium ion storage. Benzimidazole-linked covalent organic framework (BCOF-1) was synthesized by a condensation reaction between hexaazatrinaphthalenehexamine (HATNHA) and terephthalaldehyde (TA) and exhibited a high theoretical specific capacity of 392 mA h g-1. BCOF-1 crystallizes, forming eclipsed AA stacking and mesoporous hexagonal one-dimensional channels with high surface area (840 m2 g-1), facilitating fast ionic mobility and charge transfer and enabling high-rate capability at high current rates. BCOF-1 exhibits pseudocapacitive-like behavior with a high specific capacity of 387 mA h g-1, an energy density of 302 W h kg-1 at 0.1 C, and a power density of 682 W kg-1 at 5 C. Our results demonstrate that redox-active COFs have the desired structural and electronic merits to advance the use of organic electrodes in sodium-ion storage toward sustainable and efficient batteries.

Abstract
Zinc-organic batteries (ZOBs) are receiving widespread attention as up-and-coming energy-storage systems due to their sustainability, operational safety and low cost. Charge carrier is one of the critical factors affecting the redox kinetics and electrochemical performances of ZOBs. Compared with conventional large-sized and sluggish Zn2+ storage, non-metallic charge carriers with small hydrated size and light weight show accelerated interfacial dehydration and fast reaction kinetics, enabling superior electrochemical metrics for ZOBs. Thus, it is valuable and ongoing works to build better ZOBs with non-metallic ion storage. In this review, versatile non-metallic cationic (H+ , NH4 + ) and anionic (Cl- , OH- , CF3 SO3 - , SO4 2- ) charge carriers of ZOBs are first categorized with a brief comparison of their respective physicochemical properties and chemical interactions with redox-active organic materials. Furthermore, this work highlights the implementation effectiveness of non-metallic ions in ZOBs, giving insights into the impact of ion types on the metrics (capacity, rate capability, operation voltage, and cycle life) of organic cathodes. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of non-metal-ion-based ZOBs are outlined to guild the future development of next-generation energy communities.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials (OEMs) have gathered extensive attention for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their structural diversity and molecular designability. However, the reported research mainly focuses on the design of the planar configuration of OEMs and does not take into account the important influence of the spatial structure on the electrochemical properties, which seriously hamper the further performance liberation of OEMs. Herein, this work has designed a series of thioether-linked naphthoquinone-derived isomers with tunable spatial structures and applied them as the cathodes in AZIBs. The incomplete conjugated structure of the elaborately engineered isomers can guarantee the independence of the redox reaction of active groups, which contributes to the full utilization of active sites and high redox reversibility. In addition, the position isomerization of naphthoquinones on the benzene rings changes the zincophilic activity and redox kinetics of the isomers, signifying the importance of spatial structure on the electrochemical performance. As a result, the 2,2'-(1,4-phenylenedithio) bis(1,4-naphthoquinone) (p-PNQ) with the smallest steric hindrance and the most independent redox of active sites exhibits a high specific capacity (279 mAh g-1 ), an outstanding rate capability (167 mAh g-1 at 100 A g-1 ), and a long-term cycling lifetime (over 2800 h at 0.05 A g-1 ).

Abstract
Chlorine-based batteries with Cl0 to Cl- redox reaction (ClRR) are promising for high-performance energystorage due to their high redox potential and large theoretical capacity. However, the inherent gas-liquid conversion feature of ClRR together with poor Cl fixation can cause Cl2 leakage, reducing battery reversibility. Herein, we utilize a Se-based organic molecule, diphenyl diselenide (di-Ph-Se), as the Cl anchoring agent and realize an atomic level-Cl fixation through chalcogen-halogencoordinating chemistry. The promoted Cl fixation, with two oxidized Cl0 anchoring on a single Ph-Se, and the multivalence conversion of Se contributeto a six-electron conversion process with up to 507 mAh g-1 and an average voltage of 1.51 V, as well as a high energy density of 665 Wh Kg-1 . Based on the superior reversibility of thedeveloped di-Ph-Se electrode with ClRR, a remarkable rate performance (205 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and cycling performance (capacity retention of 77.3 % after 500cycles) are achieved. Significantly, the pouch cell delivers a record arealcapacity of up to 6.87 mAh cm-2 and extraordinary self-discharge performance. This chalcogen-halogen coordination chemistry between the Se electrode and Cl provides a new insight for developing reversible and efficientbatteries with halogen redox reactions.

Abstract
In the quest for materials sustainability for grid-scale applications, graphene quantum dot (GQD), prepared via eco-efficient processes, is one of the promising graphitic-organic matters that have the potential to provide greener solutions for replacing metal-based battery electrodes. However, the utilization of GQDs as electroactive materials has been limited; their redox behaviors associated with the electronic bandgap property from the sp2 carbon subdomains, surrounded by functional groups, are yet to be understood. Here, the experimental realization of a subdomained GQD-based anode with stable cyclability over 1000 cycles, combined with theoretical calculations, enables a better understanding of the decisive impact of controlled redox site distributions on battery performance. The GQDs are further employed in cathode as a platform for full utilization of inherent electrochemical activity of bio-inspired redox-active organic motifs, phenoxazine. Using the GQD-derived anode and cathode, an all-GQD battery achieves a high energy density of 290 Wh kgcathode -1 (160 Wh kgcathode+anode -1 ), demonstrating an effective way to improve reaction reversibility and energy density of sustainable, metal-free batteries.

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.

Abstract
Sodium ion-batteries (SIBs) are considered as a class of promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to overcome their drawbacks of limited sources and safety problems. However, the lack of high-performance electrode materials hinders the wide-range commercialization of SIBs. Comparing to inorganic counterparts, organic electrode materials, which are benefitted from flexibly designable structures, low cost, environmental friendliness, and high theoretical gravimetric capacities, should be a prior choice. Here, a covalent organic polymer (COP) based material (denoted as CityU-9) is designed and synthesized by integrating multiple redox motifs (benzoquinone and thioether), improved conductivity (sulfur induction), and intrinsic insolubility (rigid skeleton). The half-cell SIBs exhibit ultrahigh specific capacity of 1009 mAh g-1 and nearly no capacity drop after 650 cycles. The first all-COP symmetric full-cell shows high specific capacity of 90 mAh g-1 and excellent rate capability. This work can extend the selection of redox-active moieties and provide a rational design strategy of high-performance novel organic electrode materials.

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
Benefiting from the merits of low cost, nonflammability, and high operational safety, aqueous rechargeable batteries have emerged as promising candidates for large-scale energy-storage applications. Among various metal-ion/non-metallic charge carriers, the proton (H+ ) as a charge carrier possesses numerous unique properties such as fast proton diffusion dynamics, a low molar mass, and a small hydrated ion radius, which endow aqueous proton batteries (APBs) with a salient rate capability, a long-term life span, and an excellent low-temperature electrochemical performance. In addition, redox-active organic molecules, with the advantages of structural diversity, rich proton-storage sites, and abundant resources, are considered attractive electrode materials for APBs. However, the charge-storage and transport mechanisms of organic electrodes in APBs are still in their infancy. Therefore, finding suitable electrode materials and uncovering the H+ -storage mechanisms are significant for the application of organic materials in APBs. Herein, the latest research progress on organic materials, such as small molecules and polymers for APBs, is reviewed. Furthermore, a comprehensive summary and evaluation of APBs employing organic electrodes as anode and/or cathode is provided, especially regarding their low-temperature and high-power performances, along with systematic discussions for guiding the rational design and the construction of APBs based on organic electrodes.

Abstract
Pendant polymers are a promising class of electrode materials due to their synthetic simplicity, derivation from sustainable feedstocks, and potentially benign synthesis. These materials consist of a redox-active pendant tethered to a polymer backbone, which mitigates dissolution during electrode cycling. To date, an extensive number of pendant groups have been studied within the context of metal-ion batteries. However, the choice of the polymer backbone and its impact on the electrode performance have been relatively understudied. In this work, we use a postpolymerization modification approach to synthesize a series of viologen-bearing redox-active pendant polymers with similar molecular weights but three distinct chemical backbones, namely, polyacrylamide, polymethacrylamide, and polystyryl. By evaluating the polymers in lithium-ion batteries, we show that the polymer backbone has a significant influence on electrode performance and behavior. Specifically, the polymethacrylamide displays slower kinetics than the other two polymers, resulting in lower capacities, particularly at high cycling rates. Furthermore, the charge storage mechanism is dependent on the nature of the backbone: the polyacrylamide shows a significant capacitive contribution to charge storage, while the polystyryl does not. The difference in performance between the polymer electrode materials is ascribed to a difference in chain mobility and packing within the electrode films. Overall, this work shows that the fundamental properties of the polymer backbone are critical to the design of high-performance polymer electrodes.

Abstract
Herein, we introduce a p-type redox conjugated covalent organic polymer (p-PNZ) as a universal and high-rate cathode for diverse dual-ion batteries. By constructing an n-type redox counterpart (n-PNZ) with an analogous reticular structure and redox-site composition, we also attain a comparative platform to probe how the redox-site nature and counterion chemistry affect the rate performance of polymer cathodes. It is disclosed that the charge dilution in p-type redox sites and bulky anions engenders their weak interaction and rapid anion diffusion in electrodes, while the trivial interaction of the solvent with anions facilitates anion desolvation and interfacial charge transfer. Thus, p-PNZ possesses rapid surface-controlled redox kinetics with a high anion diffusion coefficient regardless of its inferior porosity and conductivity relative to n-PNZ. Along with a long cycle life of over 50000 cycles, the p-PNZ-engaged Zn-based dual-ion battery with a dilute electrolyte delivers nearly constant capacities of ∼149 mAh g-1 at various rates of ≤10 A g-1─such an unusual rate capability has rarely been observed previously─and retains ∼99 mAh g-1 at 40 A g-1, surpassing the n-PNZ counterpart and most existing p-type organic cathodes. The p-PNZ cathode can also be applied to build high-rate Li-based batteries, signifying its universality, while the "ready-to-charge" character of p-PNZ enables anode-free dual-ion batteries with a high-rate capability and long lifespan.

Abstract
Efficient electrochemical energy storage has been identified as one of the most pressing needs for a sustainable energy economy. Inorganic battery materials have traditionally been the center of attention, with the current state-of-the-art device being the lithium-ion battery. Recent pursuits have led to organic materials for their beneficial chemistry and properties, but suitable materials for organic batteries are still few and far between. This Spotlight on Applications highlights two intriguing pyridinium-based organic materials, modified viologens and carbonylpyridiniums, that have both been successfully employed in electrode materials for solid-state Li-ion-type organic batteries (LOBs). We first provide an overview of the inherent electronic properties of each building block and how they can effectively be modified while maintaining or enhancing their desirable electrochemical properties for practical applications. We then describe a range of different material designs for a battery context and their application in various organic device settings, with some examples showing competitive performance with traditional Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Organic materials have attracted much attention in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their sustainability and structure-designable, but their further development is hindered by the high solubility, poor conductivity, and low utilization of active groups, resulting in poor cycling stability, terrible rate capability, and low capacity. In order to solve these three major obstacles, a novel organic host, benzo[b]naphtho[2',3':5,6][1,4]dithiino[2,3-i]thianthrene-5,7,9,14,16,18-hexone (BNDTH), with abundant electroactive groups and stable extended π-conjugated structure is synthesized and composited with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) through a solvent exchange composition method to act as the cathode material for AZIBs. The well-designed BNDTH/RGO composite exhibits a high capacity of 296 mAh g-1 (nearly a full utilization of the active groups), superior rate capability of 120 mAh g-1 , and a long lifetime of 58 000 cycles with a capacity retention of 65% at 10 A g-1 . Such excellent performance can be attributed to the ingenious structural design of the active molecule, as well as the unique solvent exchange composition strategy that enables effective dispersion of excess charge on the active molecule during discharge/charge process. This work provides important insights for the rational design of organic cathode materials and has significant guidance for realizing ideal high performance in AZIBs.

Abstract
Aqueous Mg-ion batteries (MIBs) lack reliable anode materials. This study concerns the design and synthesis of a new anode material - a π-conjugate of 3D-poly(3,4,9,10-perylenetracarboxylic diimide-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine) [3D-P(PDI-T)] - for aqueous MIBs. The increased aromatic structure inhibits solubility in aqueous electrolytes, enhancing its structural stability. The 3D-P(PDI-T) anode exhibits several notable characteristics, including an extremely high rate capacity of 358 mAh g-1 at 0.05 A g-1 , A 3D-P(PDI-T)‖Mg2 MnO4 full cell exhibits a reversible capacity of 148 mAh g-1 and a long cycle life of 5000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 . The charge storage mechanism reveals a synergistic interaction of Mg2+ and H+ cations with C-N/C=O groups. The assembled 3D-P(PDI-T)‖Mg2 MnO4 full cell exhibits a capacity retention of around 95 % after 5000 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 . This 3D-P(PDI-T) anode sustained its framework structure during the charge-discharge cycling of Mg-ion batteries. The reported results provide a strong basis for a cutting-edge molecular engineering technique to afford improved organic materials that facilitate efficient charge-storage behavior of aqueous Mg-ion batteries.

Abstract
Porphyrin derivatives represent an emerging class of redox-active materials for sustainable electrochemical energy storage. However, their structure-performance relationship is poorly understood, which confines their rational design and thus limits access to their full potential. To gain such understanding, we here focus on the role of the metal ion within porphyrin molecules. The A2 B2 -type porphyrin 5,15-bis(ethynyl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin and its first-row transition metal complexes from Co to Zn are used as models to investigate the relationships between structure and electrochemical performance. It turned out that the choice of central metal atom has a profound influence on the practical voltage window and discharge capacity. The results of DFT calculations suggest that the choice of central metal atom triggers the degree of planarity of the porphyrin. Single crystal diffraction studies illustrate the consequences on the intramolecular rearrangement and packing of metalloporphyrins. Besides the direct effect of the metal choice on the undesired solubility, efficient packing and crystallinity are found to dictate the rate capability and the ion diffusion along with the porosity. Such findings open up a vast space of compositions and morphologies to accelerate the practical application of resource-friendly cathode materials to satisfy the rapidly increasing need for efficient electrical energy storage.

Abstract
Rechargeable organic multivalent metal-ion batteries (MMIBs) have attracted a surge of interest as promising alternatives for large-scale energy storage applications because they can combine the advantages of both organic electrodes and multivalent metal-ion batteries. However, the development of organic MMIBs is hampered by many factors, which mean they lag far behind organic alkali-metal- (e.g., Li-, Na-, and K-) ion batteries. Herein, the challenges that are specifically faced by organic MMIBs are analyzed and the strategies that can probably solve such challenges are then discussed. As a special challenge that organic MMIBs are facing, the charge-storage mechanism is particularly underlined to deeply understand the structure-property relationships for guiding the future design of high-performance organic electrodes for MMIBs. The perspectives are thereby elaborated in this review with the outlook of practical applications of organic MMIBs.

Abstract
Organic molecules have been considered promising energy-storage materials in aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), but are plagued by poor conductivity and structural instability because of the short-range conjugated structure and low molecular weight. Herein, an imine-based tris(aza)pentacene (TAP) with extended conjugated effects along the CN backbones is proposed, which is in situ injected into layered MXene to form a TAP/Ti3 C2 Tx cathode. Theoretical and electrochemical analyses reveal a selective H+ /Zn2+ co-insertion/extraction mechanism in TAP, which is ascribed to the steric effect on the availability of active CN sites. Moreover, Ti3 C2 Tx , as a conductive scaffold, favors fast Zn2+ diffusion to boost the electrode kinetics of TAP. Close electronic interactions between TAP and Ti3 C2 Tx preserve the structural integrity of TAP/Ti3 C2 Tx during the repeated charge/discharge. Accordingly, the TAP/Ti3 C2 Tx cathode delivers a high reversible capacity of 303 mAh g-1 at 0.04 A g-1 in aqueous ZIBs, which also realizes an ultralong lifetime over 10 000 cycles with a capacity retention of 81.6%. Furthermore, flexible Zn||TAP/Ti3 C2 Tx batteries with a quasi-solid-state electrolyte demonstrate potential application in wearable electronic devices. This work offers pivotal guidance to create highly stable organic electrodes for advanced ZIBs.

Abstract
Organic electrode materials have the typical advantages of flexibility, low cost, abundant resources, and recyclability. However, it is challenging to simultaneously optimize the specific capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability. Radicals are inevitable intermediates that critically determine the redox activity and stability during the electrochemical reaction of organic electrodes. Herein, we select a series of aromatic imides, including pyromellitic diimide (PMDI), 1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide (NDI), and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylicdiimide (PTCDI), which contain different extending π-conjugated aromatic rings, to study the relationship between their electrochemical performance and the size of the aromatic ring. The results show that regulating the aromatic ring size of imide molecules could finely tune the energies of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), thus optimizing the redox potential. The rate performance of PMDI, NDI, and PTCDI increases with the aromatic ring size, which is consistent with the decrease in the LUMO-HOMO gap of these imide molecules. DFT calculations and experiments reveal that the redox of imide radicals dominates the charge/discharge processes. Also, extending the aromatic rings could more effectively disperse the spin electron density and improve the stability of imide radicals, contributing to the enhanced cycling stability of these imide electrodes. Hence, aromatic ring size regulation is a simple and novel approach to simultaneously enhance the capacity, rate capability, and cycling stability of organic electrodes for high-performance lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Electroactive organic materials with tailored functional groups are of great importance for aqueous Zn-organic batteries due to their green and renewable nature. Herein, a completely new N-heteroaromatic material, hexaazatrinaphthalene-phenazine (HATN-PNZ) is designed and synthesized, by an acid-catalyzed condensation reaction, and its use as an ultrahigh performance cathode for Zn-ion batteries demonstrated. Compared with phenazine monomer, it is revealed that the π-conjugated structure of N-heteroaromatics can effectively increase electron delocalization, thereby improving its electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the enlarged aromatic structure noticeably suppresses its dissolution in aqueous electrolytes, thus enabling high structural stability. As expected, the HATN-PNZ cathode delivers a large reversible capacity of 257 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 , ultrahigh rate capability of 144 mAh g-1 at 100 A g-1 , and an extremely long cycle life of 45 000 cycles at 50 A g-1 . Investigation of the charge-storage mechanism demonstrates the synergistic coordination of both Zn2+ and H+ cations with the phenanthroline groups, with Zn2+ first followed by H+ , accompanying the reversible formation of zinc hydroxide sulfate hydrate. This work provides a molecular-engineering strategy for superior organic materials and adds new insights to understand the charge-storage behavior of aqueous Zn-organic batteries.

Abstract
Organic electrodes are promising candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost and sustainable nature; however, they often suffer from very low conductivity and active material loadings. The conventional binder used in organic-based Li-ion batteries is poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), yet it is electrochemically inactive and thus occupies volume and mass without storing energy. Here, we report an organic mixed ionic-electronic conducting polymer, poly[norbornene-1,2-bis(C(O)OPEDOT)]25-b-[norbornene-1,2-bis-(C(O)PEG12)]25 denoted PEDOT-b-PEG for simplicity, as a cathode binder to address the aforementioned issues. The polymer contains a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) functionality to provide electronic conductivity, as well as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains to impart ionic conductivity to the cathode composite. We compare electrodes containing a perylene diimide (PDI) active material, conductive carbon, and a polymeric binder (either PVDF or PEDOT-b-PEG) with different weight ratios to study the impact of active material loading and type of binder on the performance of the cell. The lithium-ion cells prepared with the PEDOT-b-PEG polymer binder result in higher capacities and decreased impedance at all active material loadings compared to cathodes prepared with the PVDF-containing electrodes, demonstrating potential as a new binder to achieve higher active material loadings in organic electrodes. The strategy of preparing these polymers should be broadly applicable to other classes of mixed polymer conductors.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries employing aqueous electrolytes are more reliable and cost-effective as well as possess high ionic conductivity compared to the flammable organic electrolyte solutions. Among these types of batteries, aqueous batteries with multivalent ions attract more attention in terms of providing high energy density. Herein, electrochemical behavior of an organic electrode based on a highly aromatic polymer containing 2,3-diaminophenazine repeating unit, namely poly(ortho-phenylenediamine) (PoPD), is tested in two different multivalent ions (Zn2+ and Al3+) containing aqueous electrolytes, that is, in zinc sulfate and aluminum chloride solutions. PoPD is synthesized via electropolymerization, and its ion transport and storage mechanism are comprehensively investigated by structural and electrochemical analyses. The electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, time-dependent Fourier transform infrared, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses as well as ex situ X-ray diffraction observations established that along with the Zn2+ or Al3+ ions, reversible proton insertion/extraction also takes place. Contrary to the most of the organic electrodes that requires the use of conductive carbon additives, the electrodeposited PoPD electrode is intrinsically electrically conductive enough, resulting in a binder and additive free electrode assembly. In addition, its discharge products do not dissolve in aqueous medium. As a whole, the resulting PoPD electrode delivers excellent rate performances with prolonged cycle life in which discharge capacities of ∼110 mAh g-1 in 0.25 M AlCl3 and ∼93 mAh g-1 in 1 M ZnSO4 aqueous electrolyte after 1000 cycles at a current density of 5C have been achieved.

Abstract
Small molecule organic acids as electrode materials possess the advantages of high theoretical capacity, low cost, and good processability. However, these electrode materials suffer from poor cycling stability due to the inevitable dissolution of organic molecules in the electrolytes. Here, a eutectic mixture of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide and N-methylamine is employed as a eutectic electrolyte in Li-ion batteries with small molecule organic acids as electrodes. To enhance the cycling stability of the electrolyte, fluoroethylene carbonate is used as an additive. The electrolyte exhibits nonflammability, high ionic conductivity, and good electrochemical stability. Molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory are performed to further investigate the solvation chemistry of the eutectic electrolyte. The well-designed eutectic electrolyte inhibits the dissolution of terephthalic acid effectively and displays superior performance with a capacity retention of ≈84% after 2000 cycles at a high current density of 1 A g-1 . It also enables stable cycling of more than 900 cycles at a high current density of 2 A g-1 at 60 °C. This study provides a strategy to enhance the cycling stability and safety of Li-ion batteries with organic electrode 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
The development of high-performance organic electrodes for potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) is attracting interest due to their sustainability and low costs. However, the electrolyte systems and moieties that generally proved to be successful in high-performance Li-ion batteries have found relatively little success in KIBs. Herein, two alkynyl-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) containing 1,3,5-tris(arylethynyl)benzene (TAEB) and dehydrobenzoannulene (DBA) units are utilized as bulk anode materials for KIBs in a localized high-concentration electrolyte. TAEB-COF provides a high capacity value of 254.0 mAh g-1 at ∼100% efficiency after 300 cycles, and DBA-COF 3 provides a capacity of 76.3 mAh g-1 with 98.7% efficiency after 300 cycles. DFT calculations suggest that the alkynyl units of TAEB-COF facilitate the binding of K-ions through both enthalpic and geometric driving forces, leading to high reversible capacities.

Abstract
Redox-active covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a new class of material with the potential to transform electrochemical energy storage due to the well-defined porosity and readily accessible redox-active sites of COFs. However, combining both high specific capacity and energy density in COF-based batteries remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the exceptional performance of Aza-COF in rechargeable sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Aza-COF is a microporous 2D COF synthesized from hexaketocyclohexane and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetramine by a condensation reaction, which affords phenazine-decorated channels and a theoretical specific capacity of 603 mA h g-1. The Aza-COF-based electrode exhibits an exceptional average specific capacity (550 mA h g-1), energy density (492 W h kg-1) at 0.1 C, and power density (1182 W kg-1) at 40 C. The high capacity and energy density are attributed to swift surface-controlled redox processes and rapid sodium-ion diffusion inside the porous electrode. Rate capability studies showed that the battery also performs well at high current rates: 1 C (363 mA h g-1), 5 C (232 mA h g-1), 10 C (161 mA h g-1), and 20 C (103 mA h g-1). In addition, the long-term cycling stability test revealed very good capacity retention (87% at 5 C) and Coulombic efficiencies near unity over 500 cycles.

Abstract
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have become increasingly important as next-generation energy storage systems for application in large-scale energy storage. It is very crucial to develop an eco-friendly and green SIB technique with superior performance for sustainable future use. Replacing the conventional inorganic electrode materials with green and safe organic electrodes will be a promising approach. However, the poor electrochemical kinetics, unstable electrode-electrolyte interface, high solubility of the electrodes in the electrolyte, and large amount of conductive carbon present great challenges for organic SIBs. In this study, the issues of organic electrodes are addressed through atomic-level manipulation of these organic molecules using a series of ultrathin (Å-level) metal oxide coatings (Al2 O3 , ZnO, and TiO2 ). Uniform and precise coatings on the perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylicacid dianhydride by gas-phase atomic layer deposition technique shows a stable interphase, enhanced electrochemical kinetics (71C, 10 A g-1 ), and excellent stability (89%-500 cycles) compared to conventional organic electrode (70%-200 cycles). Further studies reveal that the chemical stability of the metal oxide coating layer plays a critical role in influencing the redox behavior, and improving kinetics of organic electrodes. This study opens a new avenue for developing high-energy organic SIBs with performance equivalent to inorganic counterparts.

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
High solubility in aprotic organic electrolytes and poor electrical conductivity are the main restrictions of organic electrodes in practical application. Conductive binder contributes to the high-performance electrodes as it enables both mechanical and electronic integrity of the electrode, which have been scarcely explored for organic electrodes. Herein, a conductive interpenetrating polymeric network is synthesized through in situ polymerization of polyaniline with poly(acrylic acid) (denoted PAA-PANi), which served as a novel conductive binder for organic 2-aminoanthraquinone (AAQ) materials. The conductive PANi component enhances the electrical conductivity of the electrode. Meanwhile, the PAA component serves as the binding matrix to condense with the amino groups (-NH2) of AAQ, which therefore effectively inhibits their dissolution and maintains electrode integrity during cycling. As expected, the conductive binder exhibits both excellent electrical conductivity (10-3 S cm-1) and strong mechanical adhesion. The AAQ/reduced graphene oxide (AAQ@rGO) composite electrode prepared with the as-synthesized PAA-PANi binder delivers a high specific capacity of 126.1 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, superior rate capability (71.3 mAh g -1 at 3 A g-1), and outstanding cycling stability (2000 cycles at 1 A g-1), which greatly rivals polyvinylidene fluoride and PAA binder-based electrodes. Such a strategy points the way for the design and synthesis of conductive polymeric binders for organic electrodes, whose electrical conductivity and dissolution are massive issues.

Abstract
To reduce the amount of conducting additives generally required for polynitroxide-based electrodes, a stable radical (TEMPO) is combined with a conductive copolymer backbone consisting of 2,7-bisthiophene carbazole (2,7-BTC), which is characterized by a high intrinsic electronic conductivity. This work deals with the synthesis of this new polymer functionalized by a redox nitroxide. Fine structural characterization using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques established that: 1) the nitroxide radicals are properly attached to the radical chain (continuous wave EPR) and 2) the polymer chain has very rigid conformations leading to a set of well-defined distances between first neighboring pairs of nitroxides (pulsed EPR). The redox group combined with the electroactive polymer showed not only a very high electrochemical reversibility but also a perfect match of redox potentials between the de-/doping reaction of the bisthiophene carbazole backbone and the redox activity of the nitroxide radical. This new organic electrode shows a stable capacity (about 60 mAh g-1 ) and enables a strong reduction in the amount of carbon additive due to the conducting-polymer skeleton.

Abstract
The mellitic triimide (MTI) bearing three imide groups on a benzene core with C3 symmetry is proposed as a new building block for organic electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries. MTI was anticipated to deliver a higher theoretical specific capacity of up to 282 mAh g-1 with increased reduction potentials compared with the well-known pyromellitic diimide building block bearing two imide groups because the additional imide group can accept one more electron and provide an electron-withdrawing effect. A model compound, ethyl-substituted mellitic triimide (ETTI), shows three well distinguished and reversible one-electron redox reactions at -0.97, -1.62, and -2.34 V versus Ag/Ag+ in 0.1 m tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate electrolyte, but the redox potentials were increased in 2 m lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide electrolyte: -0.60 V, -0.86 V, and -1.42 V vs. Ag/Ag+ . The DFT calculations revealed that the unique C3 symmetric structural design leads to the higher reduction potential of MTI in the Li-based electrolyte by formation of a stable 7-membered ring with a Li ion and the two carbonyl oxygen atoms from the adjacent imide groups. In a Li-ion coin cell, the ETTI electrode delivered a specific capacity of 176 mAh g-1 , corresponding to 81 % of capacity utilization, with three clear voltage plateaus. The higher average discharge voltage (2.41 V vs. Li/Li+ ) of ETTI allows it to deliver one of the highest specific energies (421 Wh kg-1 ) among reported diimide-based electrode materials. Finally, its redox mechanism was investigated by ex situ FTIR measurements and DFT calculations.

Abstract
Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) have been heralded as promising energy-storage materials with advantages such as chemical flexibility, porous structure, and environmentally friendliness. Herein, a novel conjugated microporous polymer was synthesized by integrating triazine, thiophene, and benzothiadiazole into a polymer skeleton, and the Li+ -storage performance for the as-synthesized polymer anode in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) was investigated. Benefiting from the inherent large surface area, plentiful redox-active units, and hierarchical porous structure, the polymer anode delivered a high Li+ storage capacity up to 1599 mAh g-1 at a current rate of 50 mA g-1 with an excellent rate behavior (363 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 ) and a long-term cyclability of 326 mAh g-1 over 1500 cycles at 5 A g-1 , implying that the newly developed polymer anode offers a great prospect for next-generation LIBs.

Abstract
Organic redox compounds have shown promising potential as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Polymerization is an effective and feasible method to prevent rapid capacity decay. However, present conjugated polymers and nonconjugated polymers have their own limitations to constructing stable and high-performance electrodes. Herein, we report a novel polyimide NDI-O, which is connected by carbonyl bridges. The NDI-O is a p-π conjugated polymer that exhibits a high gravimetric energy density of 542 W h kg-1 and an ultrahigh power density of 14,000 W kg-1 due to its intriguing electronic properties. The combination of molecular electrostatic potential calculations and ex situ technologies reveals the lithium-ion storage mechanism during the charge and discharge processes. The orbital distribution calculations and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests have been shown to verify the excellent kinetic properties of NDI-O. This work expands the scope of polymers applied for LIBs and provides new methods to construct high-performance electrode materials for sustainable batteries.

Abstract
The newly emerged aqueous Zn-organic batteries are attracting extensive attention as a promising candidate for energy storage. However, most of them suffer from the unstable and/or soluble nature of organic molecules, showing limited cycle life (≤3000 cycles) that is far away from the requirement (10 000 cycles) for grid-scale energy storage. Here, a new aqueous zinc battery is proposed by using sulfur heterocyclic quinone dibenzo[b,i]thianthrene-5,7,12,14-tetraone (DTT) as the cathode. The cell shows a high reversible capacity of 210.9 mAh gDTT -1 at 50 mA gDTT -1 with a high mass loading of 5 mgDTT cm-2 , along with a fast kinetics for charge storage. Electrochemical measurements, ex situ analyses, and density functional theory calculation successfully demonstrate that the DTT electrode can simultaneously store both protons (H+ ) and Zn2+ to form DTT2 (H+ )4 (Zn2+ ), where Zn2+ is bound to the carboxyl groups from the adjacent DTT molecules with improved stability. Benefitting from the improved molecular stability and the inherent low solubility of DTT and related discharge products, the DTT//Zn full cell exhibits a superlong life of 23 000 cycles with a capacity retention of 83.8%, which is much superior to previous reports.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ ) is one of the most well-known redox cofactors carrying electrons. Now, it is reported that the intrinsically charged NAD+ motif can serve as an active electrode in electrochemical lithium cells. By anchoring the NAD+ motif by the anion incorporation, redox activity of the NAD+ is successfully implemented in conventional batteries, exhibiting the average voltage of 2.3 V. The operating voltage and capacity are tunable by altering the anchoring anion species without modifying the redox center itself. This work not only demonstrates the redox capability of NAD+ , but also suggests that anchoring the charged molecules with anion incorporation is a viable new approach to exploit various charged biological cofactors in rechargeable battery systems.

Abstract
The use of redox-active organic materials in rechargeable batteries has the potential to transform the field by enabling lightweight, flexible, green batteries while replacing lithium with sodium would mitigate the limited supplies and high cost of lithium. Herein, we report the first use of highly porous azo-linked polymers (ALPs) as a new redox-active electrode material for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries. ALPs are highly cross-linked polymers and therefore eliminate the solubility issue of organic electrodes in common electrolytes, which is prominent in small organic molecules and leads to fast capacity fading. Moreover, the high surface area coupled with the π-conjugated microporous nature of ALPs facilitates electrolyte adsorption in the pores and assists in fast ionic transport and charge transfer rates. An average specific capacity of 170 mA h g-1 at 0.3 C rate was attained while maintaining 96% Coulombic efficiency over 150 charge/discharge cycles.

Abstract
Organic materials are both environmentally and economically attractive as potential electrode candidates. This Research News reports on a new class of stable and electrically conductive organic electrodes based on metal porphyrins with functional groups that are capable of electrochemical polymerization, rendering the materials promising for electrochemical applications. Their structural flexibility and the unique highly conjugated macrocyclic structure allows the produced organic electrodes to act as both cathode and anode materials giving access to fast charging as well as high cycling stability. The extreme thermal and chemical stability of the porphyrin-based organic electrodes and their chemical versatility suggest an important role for these molecular systems in the further development of novel electrochemical energy storage applications.

Abstract
The emerging demand for electronic and transportation technologies has driven the development of rechargeable batteries with enhanced capacity storage. Especially, multivalent metal (Mg, Zn, Ca, and Al) and metal-ion batteries have recently attracted considerable interests as promising substitutes for future large-scale energy storage devices, due to their natural abundance and multielectron redox capability. These metals are compatible with nonflammable aqueous electrolytes and are less reactive when exposed in ambient atmosphere as compared with Li metals, hence enabling potential safer battery systems. Luckily, green and sustainable organic compounds could be designed and tailored as universal host materials to accommodate multivalent metal ions. Considering these advantages, effective approaches toward achieving organic multivalent metal and metal-ion rechargeable batteries are highlighted in this Review. Moreover, organic structures, cell configurations, and key relevant electrochemical parameters are presented. Hopefully, this Review will provide a fundamental guidance for future development of organic-based multivalent metal and metal-ion rechargeable batteries.

Abstract
Despite the high specific capacity and low redox potential of alkali metals, their practical application as anodes is still limited by the inherent dendrite-growth problem. The fusible sodium-potassium (Na-K) liquid metal alloy is an alternative that detours this drawback, but the fundamental understanding of charge transport in this binary electroactive alloy anode remains elusive. Here, comprehensive characterization, accompanied with density function theory (DFT) calculations, jointly expound the Na-K anode-based battery working mechanism. With the organic cathode sodium rhodizonate dibasic (SR) that has negligible selectivity toward cations, the charge carrier is screened by electrolytes due to the selective ionic pathways in the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Stable cycling for this Na-K/SR battery is achieved with capacity retention per cycle to be 99.88% as a sodium-ion battery (SIB) and 99.70% as a potassium-ion battery (PIB) for over 100 cycles. Benefitting from the flexibility of the liquid metal and the specially designed carbon nanofiber (CNF)/SR layer-by-layer cathode, a flexible dendrite-free alkali-ion battery is achieved with an ultrahigh areal capacity of 2.1 mAh cm-2 . Computation-guided materials selection, characterization-supported mechanistic understanding, and self-validating battery performance collectively promise the prospect of a high-performance, dendrite-free, and versatile organic-based liquid metal battery.

Abstract
Rechargeable batteries have been used to power various electric devices and store energy from renewables, but their toxic components (namely, electrode materials, electrolyte, and separator) generally cause serious environment issues when disused. Such toxicity characteristic makes them difficult to power future wearable electronic devices. Now an environmentally friendly and highly safe rechargeable battery, based on a pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone (PTO) cathode and zinc anode in mild aqueous electrolyte is presented. The PTO-cathode shows a high specific capacity (336 mAh g-1 ) for Zn2+ storage with fast kinetics and high reversibility. Thus, the PTO//Zn full cell exhibits a high energy density (186.7 Wh kg-1 ), supercapacitor-like power behavior and long-term lifespan (over 1000 cycles). Moreover, a belt-shaped PTO//Zn battery with robust mechanical durability and remarkable flexibility is first fabricated to clarify its potential application in wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
Lithium ion batteries are the best commercial technology to satisfy the energy storage needs of current and emerging applications. However, the use of transition-metal-based cathodes precludes them from being low-cost, sustainable, and environmentally benign, even with recycling programs in place. In this study, we report a highly stable organic material that can be used in place of the transition-metal cathodes. By creating a three-dimensional framework based on triptycene and perylene diimide (PDI), a cathode can be constructed that mitigates stability issues that organic electrodes typically suffer from. When a lithium ion battery is assembled using the PDI-triptycene framework (PDI-Tc) cathode, a capacity of 75.9 mAh g-1 (78.7% of the theoretical value) is obtained. Importantly, the battery retains a near perfect Coulombic efficiency and >80% of its capacity after cycling 500 times, which is the best value reported to date for PDI-based materials.

Abstract
An efficient thin film acoustic energy harvester was explored using flexible poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films as electrodes in an all-organic triboelectric generator (AO-TEG). A thin film AO-TEG structured as PEDOT/Kapton//PET/PEDOT was prepared by the solution casting polymerization(SCP) on the dielectric polymer films. As-prepared AO-TEG showed high flexibility and durability due to the strong adhesion between the electrodes and the dielectric polymer. The short-circuit current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and maximum power density (Pw) reached 50 mA/m(2), 700 V, and 12.9 W/m(2) respectively. The output current density decreased with the increase in the electrode resistance (Re), but the energy loss in the organic electrodes was negligible. The AO-TEG could light up 180 LEDs instantaneously upon touching of the AO-TEG with a palm (∼120 N). With the flexible structure, the AO-TEG was worn as clothes and generated electricity to light LEDs upon regular human movement. Furthermore, the AO-TEG was applicable as a thin film acoustic energy harvester, which used music to generate electricity enough for powering of 5 LEDs. An AO-TEG with a PEDOT electrode (Re = 200 Ω) showed instantaneous peak-to-peak voltage generation of 11 V under a sound pressure level (SPL) of 90-100 dB. The harvested acoustic energy through the AO-TEG was 350 μJ from the 4 min playing of the same single song. This is the first demonstration of a flexible triboelectric generator (TEG) using an organic electrode for harvesting acoustic energy from ambient environment.

Abstract
A simple and straightforward method using non-polluting solvents and a single thermal treatment step at moderate temperature was investigated as an environmentally-friendly process to recycle lithium from organic electrode materials for secondary lithium batteries. This method, highly dependent on the choice of electrolyte, gives up to 99% of sustained capacity for the recycled materials used in a second life-cycle battery when compared with the original. The best results were obtained using a dimethyl carbonate/lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide electrolyte that does not decompose in presence of water. The process implies a thermal decomposition step at a moderate temperature of the extracted organic material into lithium carbonate, which is then used as a lithiation agent for the preparation of fresh electrode material without loss of lithium.
