Aqueous proton batteries(APBs)offer a viable and attractive option in the field of affordable and sustain-able energy solutions.Organic polymers are highly favored due to their environmentally friendly manu-facturability and malleable molecular configurations,making them suitable materials for constructing APB electrodes.Nonetheless,their currently limited capacity for proton-associated redox reactions poses a challenge to the widespread usage.Herein,we have developed a highly redox-active organic polymer(PTA)tailored for APB applications.The inclusion of dual redox-active moieties in the extended π-conjugated frameworks not only enhances the redox activity and refines the electronic properties,but also ensures the high structural integrity of the PTA polymer.When used as an electrode,the PTA poly-mer has a notable ability to store protons,with a large capacity of 213.99 mA h g-1 at 1 A g-1 and excep-tional long-term stability,as evidenced by retaining 94.6%of its initial capacity after 20,000 cycles.In situ techniques alongside theoretical calculations have unveiled efficient redox processes occurring at C=N and C=O redox-active sites within the PTA electrode upon proton uptake/removal.Furthermore,a soft-package APB device has been assembled with impressive electrochemical behaviors and excellent oper-ational lifespan,accentuating its significant promise for real-world deployment.
