Abstract

Read online

The authors show a hydronium-ion battery with an organic pyrene-4,5,9,10-tetraone anode and a MnO2@graphite cathode and H3O+ as the charge carrier. In addition to exhibiting promising energy density and power density, this battery works well even under low temperatures ranging from −40 °C to −70 °C.
