Research Abstract |
Using a series of redox active organic compounds, instead of rare (minor) metal oxides, in rechargeable lithium batteries is a way to alleviate the resource problem. To realize such organic rechargeable batteries, the development of a high-performance organic active material, which satisfies both of high capacity and long cycle-life, is indispensable. In this study, we evaluated several organic positive-electrode active materials based on the benzoquinone skeleton, and found a correlation between the cycle-stability and the solubility in the electrolyte solvent. In particular, the introduction of small polar groups was revealed to be an effective way to improve the cycle-life performance of organic active materials without sacrificing the discharge capacities. The obtained experimental results will contribute to the development of a new organic active material that can tolerate many cycles.
