An Organic Molecular Cathode Composed of Naphthoquinones Bridged by Organodisulfide for Rechargeable Lithium Battery

© 2023 Wiley‐VCH GmbH..

Organic electrodes that embrace multiple electron transfer and efficient redox reactions are desirable for green energy storage batteries. Here, a novel organic electrode material is synthesized, i.e., 2, 2'-((disulfanediylbis (4, 1-phenylene)) bis(azanediyl)) bis (naphthalene-1, 4-dione) (MNQ), through a simple click reaction between common carbonyl and organosulfur compounds and demonstrate its application potential as a high-performance cathode material in rechargeable lithium batteries. MNQ exhibits the aggregation effect of redox-active functional groups, the advantage of fast reaction kinetics from molecular structure evolution, and the decreased solubility in aprotic electrolytes resulting from intermolecular interactions. As expected, the MNQ electrode exhibits a high initial discharge capacity of 281.2 mA h g-1 at 0.5 C, equivalent to 97.9% of its theoretical capacity, and sustains stable long-term cycling performance of over 1000 cycles at 1 C. This work adds a new member to the family of organic electrode materials, providing performance-efficient organic molecules for the design of rechargeable battery systems, which will undoubtedly spark great interest in their applications.
