Abstract

Compounds with redox molecular cores and branched molecular tails comprising ionic functionalities for uses as electrolytes in redox flow batteries are described, as well as methods of synthesis and use thereof. The compounds have redox active perylene diimide or ferrocene molecular core decorated with the branched molecular tails having multiple ionic functionalities to improve water solubility of the molecular core, and, as such, its performance as the electrolyte.

IPC Classes  ?

• C07F 17/02 - Metallocenes of metals of Groups 8, 9 or 10 of the Periodic Table
• H01M 8/18 - Regenerative fuel cells, e.g. redox flow batteries or secondary fuel cells

Abstract

The disclosure provides batteries that have long-duration or long-lifetime for energy storage applications. In one aspect, the disclosure provides perylene diimide molecules that are water soluble and can be used as energy storage materials. In operation, the perylene diimide molecules are oxidized in an anode chamber and the electrons released in the oxidation process flow to the cathode chamber where they reduce a molecule in the cathode chamber. The perylene diimide molecules in accordance with many embodiments are highly compatible with polymeric materials that are inexpensive and easy to process, hence allowing for significantly reduced manufacturing costs.
