Abstract

Abstract : The implementation of tetrachloro-1, 4-benzoquinone (TCQ) as a high-energy cathode for aqueous aluminum–metal batteries is demonstrated for the first time, delivering a high capacity of 206.7 mA h g −1 and good cycling stability. Abstract : The exploration of high-performance cathode candidates is of great significance for aqueous aluminum–metal batteries (AAMBs). Here, we, for the first time, report tetrachloro-1, 4-benzoquinone (TCQ) as a superior organic AAMB cathode. Owing to its high reversible conversion between the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, the TCQ cathode delivers a remarkable electrochemical performance.
