Rechargeable batteries provide leading storage methods to allow harnessing renewable energies. One way to furnish next-generation electrode materials from sustainable or natural resources is utilization of organic substrates having reversible redox-active properties.1,2 Their diverse molecular scaffolds and concise synthetic methodologies permit rational design and construction of high-performance electrode materials satisfying multiple electrochemical criteria including potential range, capacity, rate capability, and cyclability.3,4 Herein, we will present design and synthesis of redox-active organic compounds or coordination complexes as promising electrode materials for lithium- (or sodium-) ion batteries or redox flow batteries.
