“…The acid-catalyzed reaction paths are based on the mechanism proposed in the literature. [21] The first protonation step facilitates the subsequent H 2 O addition. The H 2 O addition step in the acid medium is not a single elementary step even though in Scheme 1 it is presented as a single step.…”

“…For the base‐catalyzed reaction path, the reaction sequences are 1) OH − addition, 2) aromatization by R 3 elimination as R 3 OH, and 3) proton rearrangement according to the p K a values of the product (Scheme 1). The acid‐catalyzed reaction paths are based on the mechanism proposed in the literature [21] . The first protonation step facilitates the subsequent H 2 O addition.…”

Organic redox flow batteries are a promising technology for grid-scale energy storage from renewable energy resources. However, the chemical instability of the organic electrolytes prohibits wide-scale commercial implementation as energy storage materials. Therefore, understanding their chemical degradation is essential to develop new and resilient electrolyte materials. In this article, we comparatively studied the chemical degradation pathways of 4,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonic acid (BQDS) and 3,6-dihydroxy-2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid (DHDMBS) employing potential energy surface exploration. Both the acid-catalyzed and base-catalyzed pathways have been considered. Density functional theory was used to compare the energetics of the reaction paths. The role of functional groups was investigated to get insight into why BQDS is prone to degradation and DHDMBS is much more stable. Furthermore, we studied the effect of the functional groups on the correlation of free energy of degradation and the reduction potential of the quinones.
