The incorporation of earth-abundant organic molecules, such as quinones, into aqueous redox flow batteries offers various advantages over current flow battery technologies for grid-scale energy storage1,2. These advantages included varied aspects of scalability, kinetics, stability, solubility, and tunability. With the nascent opportunity to use quinones for organic-based flow battery, the focus of new research activities is on finding the best candidate materials, from both within the space of quinone-like molecule and beyond, to meet required properties and functionalities in an accelerated way3.
