Associative pyridinium electrolytes for air-tolerant redox flow batteries

M. E. Carrington, K. Sokołowski, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Mark E. Carrington and colleagues uncovers the redox behavior of pyridinium electrolytes in redox flow batteries, highlighting their ability to operate under air exposure. With insights into the singlet-triplet energy gap as a predictor of capacity fade and innovative findings on π-dimerization that enhance air tolerance, this work paves the way for more durable energy storage solutions.
