Organic nanohybrids for fast and sustainable energy storage.
A nanohybridization strategy is presented for the fabrication of high performance lithium ion batteries based on redox-active organic molecules. The rearrangement of electroactive aromatic molecules from bulk crystalline particles into molecular layers is achieved by non-covalent nanohybridization of active molecules with conductive scaffolds. As a result, nano-hybrid organic electrodes in the form of a flexible self-standing paper-free of binder/additive and current collector-are synthesized, which exhibit high energy and power densities combined with excellent cyclic stability.
