A high capacity small molecule quinone cathode for rechargeable aqueous zinc-organic batteries

The flexible structural design of organic materials make them promising candidates for cathode in rechargeable batteries. Here, the authors report a tetraamino-p-benzoquinone cathode which realizes facile proton conduction by the Grotthuss-type mechanism and shows excellent electrochemical performan...
