Abstract

The article identified the most promising aspects for achieving a significant level of development in lithium battery technology. The purpose of this work was to analyse a new approach to increasing the life cycle of lithium batteries by replacing cobalt with organic electrode material, to demonstrate the operational competitiveness of stable organic electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries, and to determine the advantages of such application. The object of the study was the physicochemical foundations of organic materials that dissolved in the electrolyte of a lithium-ion battery and their transfer to the opposite side of the battery. The research method involved an analysis of the optimal properties of the physicochemical basis of organic materials and cathodes of lithium-ion batteries on an inorganic basis at the electrode level. The article analysed the results of scientific studies devoted to the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries, mainly using organic electrode materials, namely bis-tetraaminobenzoquinone, composed of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. It was found that tetraaminobenzoquinone, owing to hydrogen bonds, formed nearly flat sheets, which allowed effective layering and storage of lithium ions and provided a tenfold increase in gravimetric energy density. The article identified the advantages of organic electrode materials in comparison with leading contemporary lithium-ion integrated batteries cathode technologies. The results of the research based on the new organic battery technology made it possible to suggest the potential for a breakthrough in the field of large-capacity batteries and the development of batteries with high charge storage density and rapid charging capability. The article is recommended for specialists in electric transport and manufacturers of electric vehicles, as well as for specialists of operating enterprises carrying out conversions, in particular of trolleybuses with autonomous propulsion
