Organic electrodes based on redox-active covalent organic frameworks for lithium batteries

摘要

Electroactive organic materials have received much attention as alternative electrodes for metal-ion batteries due to their high theoretical capacity,resource availability,and environmental friendliness.In particular,redox-active covalent organic frameworks(COFs)have recently emerged as promising electrodes due to their tunable electrochemical properties,insolubility in electrolytes,and structural versatility.In this Highlight,we review some recent strategies to improve the energy density and power density of COF electrodes for lithium batteries from the perspective of molecular design and electrode optimisation.Some other aspects such as stability and scalability are also discussed.Finally,the main challenges to improve their performance and future prospects for COF-based organic batteries are highlighted.
