Abstract

Organic-catholyte-containing flexible rechargeable lithium batteries are developed using fused cyclic quinone derivatives. The structural dependence of the quinone isomers in the liquid catholyte is studied using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. Stable electrochemical performance even under severe bending/stretching deformations is successfully demonstrated by prototype batteries containing liquid catholytes.
