Aqueous anion insertion into a hydrocarbon cathode via a water-in-salt electrolyte

We report coronene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), exhibits reversible oxidative anion insertion properties in a LiTFSI based water-in-salt electrolyte. The coronene electrode delivers a reversible capacity of ~65 mAh g−1 with the first-cycle Coulombic efficiency of ~73%. The results demon...
