Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can convert to their corresponding radical anions (88) via redox processes. Wang at al. systematically investigated the property-structure relationship of PAHs (89). PAHs displayed redox potentials ranging from –1.5 to –2.6 V vs. SHE (Figure 8), which are promising anolyte candidates for high-voltage RFBs. For the linear PAHs, such as tetracene (4 fused benzene rings), anthracene (3 fused benzene rings), and naphthalene (2 aromatic benzene rings), the redox potential decreased with the number of aromatic rings. After rigorous testing, naphthalene was thought to be a promising candidate due to its high solubility (4 M), low redox potential (–2.6 V vs. SHE), and good stability. As naphthalene showed a low redox potential (< 0.1 V vs. Na/Na+), Hu et al. demonstrated a new strategy to prepare high-voltage energy storage batteries, using sodium naphthalide in the organic electrolyte as the anolyte materials for static Na/S battery. This strategy addressed the issue of sodium dendrite formation (90). The results demonstrated that alkali metal naphthalides have the potential to replace alkali metal (Li, Na) as the anolyte materials for NAORFBs with high energy density. Figure 8.

Compound PAHs display highly negative potential as anolyte materials in non-aqueous electrolytes, presenting high energy density. However, the crossover issue of PAHs may be the major obstacle for application in large-scale energy storage devices. Polymerization and functionalization with charged units can suppress their crossover by physical blocking and Donnan exclusion, respectively. Metal Coordination Complexes Divalent metal ions complexed with tris(2,2′-bipyridine) ligands, such as iron tris(2,2′- bypridine) (Fe(bpy)32+) (91), ruthenium tris(2,2′-bypridine) (Ru(bpy)32+) (92), nickel tris(2,2′- bypridine) (Ni(bpy)32+) (93), and copper tris(2,2′-bypridine) (Cu(bpy)32+) (94), served as anode materials in non-aqueous RFBs. However, most of the RFBs presented insufficient cycling performance due to their limited stability.
