Unlocking the potential of multi-electron p-type polyheterocycle cathode: when it meets small-size and high-charge anion

Key Points

• Boosting zinc batteries with high-voltage p-type organic cathodes improves efficiency, as multi-electron reactions enhance overall performance.
• Efficiency gains stem from utilizing high-charge anions and multi-electron reactions, potentially increasing redox site utilization.
• The approach centers on optimizing p-type organic cathodes using innovative polyheterocycle designs and recognizing their reaction energy limits.
• Potential significance lies in overcoming barriers of single-electron reactions, which could lead to better energy storage solutions.
