Title: Switching between Local and Global Aromaticity in a Conjugated Macrocycle for High-Performance Organic Sodium-Ion Battery Anodes
Abstract: Aromatic organic compounds can be used as electrode materials in batteries and are expected to advance the development of anode and cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). most aromatic organic compounds assessed as anode materials in to date exhibit significant degradation issues under conditions and unsatisfying long-term cycling Now, a molecular design concept is presented for improving stability of organic compounds for battery electrodes. The molecular of the investigated compound, (PCT), can stabilize the state by local aromaticity and the doubly reduced state by aromaticity, resulting in an anode material with extraordinarily cycling performance and outstanding performance under conditions, demonstrating an exciting new path for development of electrode materials for SIBs and other types of batteries.
