“…It is widely recognized that the redox potential of organic molecules can be regulated by adjusting their highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels, with the energy levels of the materials determined throughdensity functional theory (DFT) calculations. 4,33,35,36 The DFT calculations were performed for both molecules using the B3LYP/6-31 g(d) levels with the Gaussian 09 program. The calculated HOMO-LUMO gaps for the optimized molecule models were 3.94 eV (P-TT, Fig.…”

Organic active materials are seen as next-generation battery materials that could circumvent the sustainability and cost limitations connected with the current Li-ion battery technology while at the same time enabling novel battery functionalities like a bioderived feedstock, biodegradability, and mechanical flexibility. Many promising research results have recently been published. However, the reproducibility and comparison of the literature results are somehow limited due to highly variable electrode formulations and electrochemical testing conditions. In this Perspective, we provide a critical view of the organic cathode active materials and suggest future guidelines for electrochemical characterization, capacity evaluation, and mechanistic investigation to facilitate reproducibility and benchmarking of literature results, leading to the accelerated development of organic electrode active materials for practical applications.

“…In another study on benzoquinone (BQ) derivatives as cathode exhibits improved electrochemical performances. [ 140 ] The design strategy was to connect the two BQ groups by 2,6‐bis(p‐benzoquinonyl) pyridine (QPQ‐1) and 2,5‐bis(p‐benzoquinonyl) pyridine (QPQ‐2). Both compounds exhibit an expanded conjugation throughout the molecule and QPQ‐2 has limited solubility in the electrolyte, which results in improved electrode stability.…”

Rechargeable sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as a viable alternative to lithium‐ion battery (LIB) technology, as their raw materials are economical, geographically abundant (unlike lithium), and less toxic. The matured LIB technology contributes significantly to digital civilization, from mobile electronic devices to zero electric‐vehicle emissions. However, with the increasing reliance on renewable energy sources and the anticipated integration of high‐energy‐density batteries into the grid, concerns have arisen regarding the sustainability of lithium due to its limited availability and consequent price escalations. In this context, SIBs have gained attention as a potential energy storage alternative, benefiting from the abundance of sodium and sharing electrochemical characteristics similar to LIBs. Furthermore, high‐entropy chemistry has emerged as a new paradigm, promising to enhance energy density and accelerate advancements in battery technology to meet the growing energy demands. This review uncovers the fundamentals, current progress, and the views on the future of SIB technologies, with a discussion focused on the design of novel materials. The crucial factors, such as morphology, crystal defects, and doping, that can tune electrochemistry, which should inspire young researchers in battery technology to identify and work on challenging research problems, are also reviewed.
