Six-electron organic redoxmers for aqueous redox flow batteries

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Nov 29;58(95):13226-13229. doi: 10.1039/d2cc04648b.

Abstract

We have developed a novel molecular design that enables six-electron redox activity in fused phenazine-based organic scaffolds. Combined electrochemical and spectroscopic tests successfully confirm the two-step 6e- redox mechanism. This work offers an opportunity for achieving energy-dense redox flow batteries, on condition that the solubility and stability issues are addressed.
