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.read more
