Organic electrode materials (OEMs) provide sustainable alternatives to conventional electrode materials based on transition metals. However, the application of OEMs in lithium-ion and redox flow batteries requires either low or high solubility. Currently, the identification of new OEM candidates relies on chemical intuition and trial-and-error experimental testing, which is costly and time intensive.

- Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are emerging as cost-effective and safe alternatives for large-scale energy storage, primarily due to the advantages of zinc.
- Key research focuses on enhancing electrode materials for better Zn ion storage by examining structural changes in organosulfur compounds, specifically Zn-thiolate complexes.
- The study reveals that modifying these complexes can significantly improve performance; for example, one modification drastically reduces voltage hysteresis and enhances specific capacity, while other strategies like increasing electrolyte concentration help improve cycling stability.
