Abstract

Three quinone-based organic electrodes were tested in nonaqueous Zn-batteries using different salts and solvents. The Zn(TFSI)2/acetonitrile system exhibited the best performance due to its excellent transport and electrochemical properties. The mechanistic studies on the electrode kinetics were also carried out. While 2,5-dimethoxybenzoquinone (DMBQ) displayed a typical faradaic battery behavior, its polymeric derivatives showed a slow charge transfer inside the polymeric film as depicted by cyclic voltammograms.
