Orthoquinone-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks with Ordered Channel Structures for Ultrahigh Performance Aqueous Zinc-Organic Batteries

Shibing Zheng et al.

Summary: Elaborate molecular design is crucial for improving the performance of rechargeable aqueous zinc-organic batteries. In this study, a novel orthoquinone-based covalent organic framework cathode with ordered channel structures (BT-PTO COF) was designed for an ultrahigh-performance aqueous zinc-organic battery. The ordered channel structure facilitated ion transfer and enabled the COF to follow a redox pseudocapacitance mechanism, resulting in a high reversible capacity and exceptional long-term cyclability. Additionally, a co-insertion mechanism involving Zn2+ and H+ was discovered for the first time, leading to ultra-fast kinetics and unprecedented specific power and energy density. This work presents a superior organic material for zinc batteries and offers a design concept for future high-performance organic cathodes.

Highly Crystalline Polyimide Covalent Organic Framework as DualActive-Center Cathode for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Liyi Yao et al.

Summary: Polyimide covalent organic framework (PI-COF) materials are considered as emerging electrode materials for rechargeable devices. However, the highly crystalline PI-COFs with hierarchical porosity are less reported. In this study, a water-assistant synthetic strategy was developed to adjust the reaction rate of polyimidization, and PI-COF (COFTPDA-PMDA) with kgm topology was successfully synthesized with high crystallinity and porosity. The COFTPDA-PMDA possesses hierarchical micro-/mesoporous channels with the largest surface area in PI-COFs, which can promote the interaction between Li+ ions and TFSI- ions to increase the specific capacity of cathode materials. As a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, COFTPDA-PMDA@50%CNT showed high initial charge capacity and excellent cycling stability.
