Progress toward greener redox-organic electrode batteries
Our modern-day rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, are anything however sustainable. One alternative is organic batteries with redox-organic electrode materials (OEMs), which can be synthesized from natural "green" materials. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a Chinese team has actually currently presented a new OEM for aqueous organic high-capacity batteries that can be quickly and cheaply recycled.
