“…In a recent study, Huang and Zheng et al . fundamentally explored the changes of carbonyl sites in C6Q during discharge‐charge progress by in‐situ infrared spectroscopy (IR) . It is clear that the vibration peak (1650 cm −1 ) of carbonyl groups decreased with the discharging progress and increased continuously when charging (Figure a), which better proves the redox reversibility of C6Q.…”

Attributing to the advantages of high theoretical specific capacity, good structural designability and environmental friendliness, organic quinone electrode materials have been applied in secondary batteries to achieve great electrochemical performances. At present, a series of researches about secondary batteries with quinone‐based compounds calix[4]quinone (C4Q), pillar[5]quinone (P5Q) and calix[6]quinone (C6Q) as cathodes have been carried out. In this review, we systematically summarize the applications of these three types of quinone compounds in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs), sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs), zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs), and magnesium‐ion batteries (Mg‐ion batteries). The optimizing methods for suppressing the dissolution of organic electrode materials such as quasi‐solid‐state electrolytes, all‐solid‐state electrolytes, ionic liquid electrolytes, aqueous electrolytes and carbon immobilization are concluded. This review could provide a good guideline to improve the electrochemical performances of secondary batteries using quinone compounds as cathodes in the future.

“…Before that, we first tried one-step oxidation with ClO 2 or PbO 2 , but failed to yield it. [15] Using 3b as a raw material to synthesize 2b, the reaction conditions were somewhat adjusted compared to the synthesis of 2a. The deionized water was changed to oxygen-free water starting from the second step reaction, and the entire reduction process was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere.…”

Calix[n]quinones, a class of cyclic oligomers composed of p-benzoquinone structures connected by methylene, have multi-conjugated carbonyl structures and adjustable cavities, which make their synthesis extremely attractive. In this minireview, synthetic methods of calix[n]quinones and recent synthetic experience of our group are summarized. The merits and demerits of various synthetic methods are briefly reviewed as well. When synthesizing calix[n]quinone (n � 6) with a larger ring, the reduction-oxidation method is considered to be the most recommended.

“…Positioned between sulfur and intercalation compound in the battery‐materials landscape, performances of organic electrode materials have strongly evolved representing a serious alternative in support to inorganic compounds and to address the constantly growing demand for more sustainable batteries. These last years, several improvements were realized such as high‐potential and high‐power positive electrode materials and high specific capacity . From our side, we focused in the last years on the enhancement of the rate capability of conjugated lithium carboxylate used as a negative electrode.…”

In this article, we describe the design and gram‐scale synthesis of a new anthracene‐based negative electrode material for Li‐ion batteries. Based on rational design, featuring a strong electronic delocalization and a long conjugation length, this material has power performance to date unmatched for a conjugated lithium carboxylate, displaying a gravimetric capacity of 150 mAh g−1 at a cycling rate of 20 Li+/h (10 C) without any electrode engineering. Additionally, to the design, partial solubility of the fully reduced phase may also explain the electrochemical performances obtained at a low and high rate.
