Intensive energy demand urges state-of-the-art rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable aluminum-ion batteries (AIBs) are promising candidates with suitable cathode materials. Owing to high abundance of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen rich chemistry organics (structural diversity flexibility), small organic molecules good choices as the electrode materials for AIB. Herein, a series small-molecule quinone derivatives (SMQD) AIB were investigated. Nonetheless, dissolution into liquid electrolytes...
