Tuning electron delocalization of hydrogen-bonded organic framework cathode for high-performance zinc-organic batteries

Wenda Li et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers achieved a high-performance zinc-organic battery by using a designed fully conjugated two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded organic framework as the cathode material. The framework possessed intermolecular hydrogen bonds, multiple C = O and C = N electroactive centers, and super delocalization, which greatly improved the redox potential, intrinsic electronic conductivity, and redox kinetics. The fully conjugated molecular configuration enabled reversible Zn2+/H+ synergistic storage accompanied by 10-electron transfer. As a result, the organic cathode exhibited a high reversible capacity, good cyclability, and high energy density.
