Carbonate deprotonation on Ni-rich layered cathode: Development of a new cis isomerism oligomer as an organic coverage
A biphase coupled cathode enables all-organic rocking-chair lithium ion batteries based on crystalline AB-stacked covalent triazine-based frameworks
Crystalline AB-stacked CTFs were synthesized in the AlCl3–NaCl–KCl ternary eutectic salt system, and a CTF-based biphase coupled cathode (BPCC) has been proposed and proved to show significantly enhanced electrochemical performance.

Tetrathiafulvalene-based covalent organic frameworks as high-voltage organic cathodes for lithium batteries
We report a series of 2D tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based COFs incorporating different organic linkers between the electroactive moieties that were investigated as p-type organic cathode materials for lithium-organic batteries.
About this collection
This themed collection showcases cutting-edge research, advancements, and remaining challenges in realising the holy grail of batteries: sustainable batteries that balance performance, cost and environmental sustainability. The collection aims to uncover new research opportunities in this field by featuring multidisciplinary research on alternative battery chemistries, sustainable electrolytes, sustainability assessment (including assessing materials criticality and its environmental impact), battery recycling, electrodes manufacturing for improved performance, understanding and preventing degradation and improving life time, design for disassembly and technoeconomic assessment among other topics closely fitting to the sustainable battery topic.
