Abstract

A nonaqueous, hybrid metal–organic redox flow battery based on tailored anthraquinone structure is demonstrated to have an energy efficiency of ∼82% and a specific discharge energy density similar to those of aqueous redox flow batteries, which is due to the significantly improved solubility of anthraquinone in supporting electrolytes.
