Naphthalene Diimide Based Materials with Adjustable Redox Potentials: Evaluation for Organic Lithium-Ion Batteries
The
promising crystallinity and tunable redox capabilities of naphthalene
diimides make them attractive candidates as electroactive materials
for organic-based lithium-ion batteries. In this study, a family of
naphthalene diimide derivates was synthesized and their redox properties
explored with the intent of unveiling structures with reduction potentials
that are higher than those encountered in previous organic redox processes.
Changes in the electronic characteristics of the aryl substituents
resulted in materials with discharge potentials that vary from 2.3
to 2.9 V vs Li/Li+, with discharge capacities as high as 121 mAh/g
