Nevertheless, due to the enormous success of graphite-based and inorganic electrode materials in both research and commercialization, organic materials have received very little attention in the past several decades for the development of battery systems.
Conventional energy storage technologies predominantly rely on inorganic materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which present significant challenges in terms of resource scarcity, environmental impact and supply chain ethics. Organic batteries, composed of carbon-based molecules, offer an alternative that addresses these concerns.
Hence, we strongly believe that with increased rigor put into electrochemical testing and material characterization, researchers should be able to better “separate the wheat from the chaff” and enable organic material-based batteries as a realistic future alternative, not just a distant mirage.
Organic active materials are seen as next-generation battery materials that could circumvent the sustainability and cost limitations connected with the current Li-ion battery technology while at the same time enabling novel battery functionalities like a bioderived feedstock, biodegradability, and mechanical flexibility.
