Liquid Quinones for Solvent-Free Redox Flow Batteries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Liquid benzoquinone and naphthoquinone having diethylene glycol monomethyl ether groups are designed and synthesized as redox active materials that dissolve supporting electrolytes. The Li-ion batteries based on the liquid quinones using LiBF4 /PC show good performance in terms of voltage, capacity, energy efficiency, and cyclability in both static and flow modes. A battery is constructed without using intentionally added organic solvent, and its high energy density (264 W h L-1 ) demonstrates the potential of solvent-free organic redox flow batteries using liquid active materials.
