Experimental study demonstrates rapid internal charge transfer in hybrid polymer-lithium electrodes, indicating full battery recharging in under five minutes with enhanced stability.

Key Points

To design a hybrid electrode combining a nitroxide-polymer redox supercapacitor with a lithium-ion battery material to overcome fundamental trade-offs between energy density and charging rate.
Synthesized hybrid electrodes combining a nitroxide-polymer redox supercapacitor (PTMA) with a lithium-ion battery cathode material (LiFePO4).
Evaluated sequential charging mechanisms, rate capabilities, and internal charge transfer kinetics during rapid charge and discharge cycles.
PTMA oxidized rapidly to high-potential redox species, delaying the LiFePO4 voltage rise and recharging it via an internal charge transfer process.
Achieved a rate capability enabling full battery recharge in less than 5 minutes.
Delivered enhanced power and energy density alongside superior cycling stability compared to the individual constituent materials.
