Harnessing the Potential of High-Performance Organic Cathodes

Zinc, which is inexpensive, abundant, and ecologically friendly, could be the answer to better batteries, but there is a huge issue: In terms of power output, aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) cannot compete with lithium-ion batteries. To see what electrode material composition could bring AZIBs up to par, a Chinese research team created two organic frameworks with the same elements but arranged differently.
