Electrochemical Mechanism of Al Metal–Organic Battery Based on Phenanthrenequinone

Al metal-organic batteries are a perspective high-energy battery technology based on abundant materials. However, the practical energy density of Al metal-organic batteries is strongly dependent on its electrochemical mechanism. Energy density is mostly governed by the nature of the aluminium comple...
