Reversible redox chemistry in azobenzene-based organic molecules for high-capacity and long-life nonaqueous redox flow batteries

Organic molecules are promising active materials for nonaqueous redox-flow batteries (RFBs), but suffer from poor cycling stability. Here, the authors introduce azobenzene-based molecules as new type of highly soluble and stable active materials to realize high-capacity and long-life nonaqueous RFBs...
