“…Multiple types of organic active materials have been reported to be suitable for the Li system. Their reaction mechanisms are classified into two categories: the first is in which active materials accept and release Li ions, and the second uses an anion during the charge–discharge process rather than the Li ion. The difference in mechanism can have a considerable effect on cell design when fabricating a large‐capacity cell.…”

“…For this reason, organic active species have arisen as a more sustainable alternative. In particular, quinones are organic compounds that have been recently identified as suitable candidates because they are sustainable, benign, abundant, and inexpensive . The developed quinone‐based redox batteries have already demonstrated their viability for large‐scale energy storage applications .…”

A portable paper‐based organic redox flow primary battery using sustainable quinone chemistry is presented. The compact prototype relies on the capillary forces of the paper matrix to develop a quasi‐steady flow of the reactants through a pair of porous carbon electrodes without the need of external pumps. Co‐laminar capillary flow allows operation Under mixed‐media conditions, in which an alkaline anolyte and an acidic catholyte are employed. This feature enables higher electrochemical cell voltages during discharge operation and the utilization of a wider range of available species and electrolytes and provides the advantage to form a neutral or near‐neutral pH as the electrolytes neutralize at the absorbent pad, which allows a safe disposal after use. The effects of the device design parameters have been studied to enhance battery features such as power output, operational time, and fuel utilization. The device achieves a faradaic efficiency of up to 98 %, which is the highest reported in a capillary‐based electrochemical power source, as well as a cell capacity of up to 11.4 Ah L−1 cm−2, comparable to state‐of‐the‐art large‐scale redox flow cells.

“…The quinone/hydroquinone (Q/QH 2 ) couple is an aromatic compounds with six carbon and two oxygen atoms that can be sequentially coupled with two protons, resulting in high charge capacity of 496 mAh g −1 . Moreover, other cations such as lithium or sodium ions can coordinate to the negatively charged oxygen atoms upon electrochemical reduction of the carbonyl groups, and detach during the reverse oxidation, opening the possibility of using biomacromolecules with quinones for supercapacitors and lithium/sodium‐ion batteries …”

The development of energy storage devices with higher energy and power outputs, and long cycling stability is urgently required in the pursuit of the expanding challenges of electrical energy storage. The utilization of biologically renewable redox compounds holds a great potential in designing sustainable energy storage systems and contributes in reducing the dependence on fossil fuels for energy materials. Quinones are the principal redox centers in natural organic materials and play a key role as charge storage electrode materials because of their abundance, multiple forms and integration into the materials flow through the biosphere. Electrical energy storage devices and systems can be significantly improved by the combination of scalable quinone‐based biomaterials with good electronic conductors. This review uses recent examples to show how biopolymers are providing new directions in the development of renewable biohybrid electrodes for energy storage devices.
