Description

Huiling Peng and co-authors present a 2026 battery material that breaks a long trade-off for organic electrodes. Small organic compounds store much charge but dissolve away, while frame solids last yet hide their active sites. The team built a ring-shaped molecule that joins frame-like toughness with small-molecule punch.

The six-sided ring packs three kinds of active groups around a linked core. As a cell's plus side it hit near its full rated store and kept four-fifths of it after a thousand fast cycles. Charge moves in a deep multi-step swap, which the team traces in depth.
