Regulating intramolecular hydrogen bonds of p-phenylenediimidazole-based small-molecule compounds towards the enhanced lithium storage capacity

The use of redox-active organic electrode materials in energy storage is restricted due to their inferior solvent resistance,abysmal conductivity,and the resultant low practical capacity.To address these issues,a class of bipolar p-phenylenediimidazole-based small-molecule compounds are designed and fabricated.The π-conjugated backbone of these small molecules allows for electron delocalization on a big conjugation plane,endowing them with good conductivity and reaction reversibility.Furthermore,when the para-positions of phenylene are occupied by hydroxyl groups,as-formed intramolecular hydro-gen bonds(N-H...O)between phenolic hydroxyl groups and the-NH groups of imidazole rings further enhance the structural planarity,resulting in higher π-conjugation degree and better conductivity,and thus higher utilization of active sites and electrode capacity,proved by both experimental results and theoretical calculations.The optimized composite electrode DBNQ@rGO-45 shows a high specific capac-ity(~308 mA h g-1at 100 mA g-1)and a long cycling stability(112.9 mA h g-1 after 6000 cycles at 2000 mA g-1).The significantly better electrochemical properties for hydroxyl group-containing com-pounds than those without hydroxyl groups attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bond-induced conju-gation enhancement will inspire the structure design of organic electrodes for better energy storage.
