Much research work was conducted on organic electrolytes for designing high-performance aqueous flow batteries. The motivation of this review is to summarize and present the structure features, property evaluation methods, performance improvement schemes and battery design principles.
A typical aqueous organic redox flow battery (AORFB) with organic redox-active materials dissolved in aqueous electrolytes.
Organic redox-active materials offer a new opportunity for the construction of advanced flow batteries due to their advantages of potentially low cost, extensive structural diversity, tunable electrochemical properties, and high natural abundance.
Unlike traditional LIBs that rely on inorganic electrode materials (IEMs) based on transition metals, organic batteries use organic electrode materials (OEMs) composed of abundant light elements such as C, H, O, N and S (Fig. 1b).
