Universal quinone electrodes for long cycle life aqueous rechargeable batteries

TLDR
Three systems that coupled with industrially established cathodes and electrolytes exhibit long cycle life, fast kinetics, high anode specific capacity, and several examples of state-of-the-art specific energy/energy density are demonstrated.
Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable batteries are promising for grid storage and electric vehicles, but they suffer from poor cycle life due to anode instability. Exploiting stable ion-coordination charge storage and chemical inertness towards aqueous electrolytes, quinones are now reported as stable anodes.
