Abstract
Due to the growth of the demand for rechargeable batteries in intelligent terminals, electric vehicles, energy storage, and other markets, electrode materials, as the essential of batteries, have attracted tremendous attention. The research of emerging organic electrode materials in batteries has been boosted recently to their advantages of low cost, environmental friendliness, biodegradability, and designability. This manuscript highlights and classifies several recent studies on organic electrode materials and lists their potential applications in various battery systems. Finally, the challenge and perspective of organic electrode materials are also summarized.
Highlights
With more attention to green energy by society, wind power[1], photovoltaic power[2], tidal power[3] generation are gradually squeezing out of traditional power generation
Power generation systems must be equipped with secondary batteries to store excess electricity[4], leading to increased demand for energy www.energymaterj.com
The electrode materials consist of metal oxides, metal salts, metals, etc.[6-9], have been applied in rechargeable batteries such as the lead-acid battery (PbO2-Pb), nickel-cadmium battery [NiO(OH)-Cd], lithium-ion battery (LiCoO2-C, LiFePO4-C, etc.)
Summary
With more attention to green energy by society, wind power[1], photovoltaic power[2], tidal power[3] generation are gradually squeezing out of traditional power generation. Most of the electrode materials of these batteries belong to inorganic materials, exhibiting high price, heavy metal toxicity, environmental pollution, and degradable recycling, which need further attention for energy storage applications[10,11]. Organic materials have oxidation and reduction electrochemical activity and can be used as anode and cathode materials for rechargeable batteries.
