Amino group enhanced phenazine derivatives as electrode materials for lithium storage

The development of organic molecule-based batteries is hampered by stability issues caused by the dissolution of the active organic materials in electrolytes. Herein, phenazine (PNZ) and 2,3-diamino-phenazine (DAP) are investigated as organic electrode materials. The presence of amino functional groups in DAP dramatically enhances its electrochemical performances due to suppressed dissolution in the electrolyte.
