Summary: Organic radical batteries (ORBs) with radical-branched polymers as cathode materials are considered as a promising solution for energy storage. A chemically stable polynitrosoarene (tris(4-nitrosophenyl)amine) is designed as an efficient cathode for ORBs, which exhibits remarkable reversible charge/discharge capability and high capacity. It can achieve a capacity of up to 300 mA h g(-1) (93% theoretical capacity) after 100 cycles at 100 mA g(-1) within a wide potential window. The material also shows outstanding cycle life with 85% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1000 mA g(-1), making it the best-reported organic radical cathode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Summary: Covalent organic framework (COF), modified by graphitic quantum dots (GQDs), shows enhanced lithium-storage performance as an anode for rechargeable Li-ion batteries. The modification leads to improved long-term cycling stability, increased reversible capacities, and shortened activation process. These improvements are attributed to the activation of more active sites and fast lithium-ion transportation provided by carboxyl GQDs, as well as the decreased interphase resistance and enhanced electronic conductivity resulting from the addition of GQDs.

Summary: A robust aqueous solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is successfully constructed by introducing a ladderized heterocyclic polymer electrode into a water-in-salt electrolyte, enabling ultra-stable dual-ion storage with long-term calendar life. The sophisticated SEI composed of fluorinated/oxygenated species is formed through a proton co-intercalation process, consuming water in the solvation shell of Li+ ions to trigger the decomposition of organic anions. This new SEI formation path is expected to broaden the applications of aqueous SEI and facilitate the design of versatile electrode materials for advanced aqueous Li-ion batteries (ALIBs).
