Systematic Design Strategies for Nonaqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries

Prof. Byon’s group (in collaboration with Prof. Joo’s group at Pusan National University) reported the design principle of organic molecules utilized for non-aqueous organic redox flow batteries (RFBs). By implementing an extended -conjugation, a cationic functional group, and selective anions, they developed highly soluble, stable, and crossover-resistant heteroarylpyridinium in the form of organic redox-active molecules and showed ~90% capacity retention during 100 cycles in RFBs. ...read more
