Abstract

AbstractDue to the scarcity of metallic lithium and the limited specific energy density of traditional inorganic cathodes, the application of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) in the large‐scale energy storage market is severely limited. To meet the growing power demands of electric vehicles and electronics, low‐cost and sustainable battery technologies need to be developed. Organic batteries and organic electrode materials emerge at a historic moment and show great potential. Polymer organic materials (POEs) with longer cycle life than small organic molecules that are easily soluble in liquid electrolytes provide more opportunities for advanced electrode materials. However, many issues remain to be addressed before POEs are widely used, such as sluggish electrode reaction kinetics and poor electronic conductivity. Herein, the classification, energy storage mechanism and features of POEs are briefly summarized. Further, the existing problems and design strategies of POEs are discussed and summarized in depth. This review aims to highlight the potential role of structural and morphological design in improving the practical performance of POEs in LIBs and provides insights into the in‐depth understanding and development of organic batteries and organic electrode materials.
