In this study, a high-performance aqueous proton battery was successfully prepared by using a pi-conjugated N-containing organic compound as the anode and beta-MnO2 as the cathode. The battery exhibited a reversible specific capacity and excellent energy density, which can be attributed to the abundance of C=N moieties and the pi-conjugated structure of the anode material.
Aqueous proton batteries (APBs) have tremendous potential in the energy storage field. Currently, highperformance electrode materials need to be urgently exploited to satisfy the development of APBs. Here, we introduce a pi-conjugated N-containing organic compound (diquinoxalino [2,3-a:2',3'-c] phenazine, HATN) with abundant active sites as the anode. By assembling HATN with a beta-MnO2 cathode, we produce a high-capacity proton battery with a reversible specific capacity of 260 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 and an excellent energy density up to 118 Wh kg-1. The high performance is found to result from the abundant C=N moieties and the pi-conjugated structure of HATN, which assure the capability of reversible H+ storage and the corresponding stability.
