| description | Abstract Electrochemical techniques have been recognized as an environmentally friendly and sustainable synthetic way to form organodisulfides. However, searching for optimum conditions which suffers from time/material‐consuming caused by the uncertainty of reactant consumption has hindered its rapid and large‐scale development. Inspired by advanced nonaqueous redox flow batteries (NARFBs) technology, it is proposed a smart flow electrosynthesis (SFE) method of organodisulfides that the voltage curve of NARFBs can be utilized as a precise indicator to reflect the desired information about reactants and distinguish the end point of reaction automatically. This electrochemical method also exhibits certain universality and scalability. Additionally, organodisulfides generated in electrolytes can be used as active species for NARFBs without further purification, and their electrochemical properties are easily adjusted by changing raw materials, which effectively alleviate the waste in complex synthesis steps for optimizing and designing active materials separately. An organodisulfide dervied from isopropyl alcohol and carbon disulfide shows excellent cycling life (1000 cycles) with low capacity fade rate (0.024% per cycle). Taking advantages of the inherent NARFBs, this work not only proves a SFE strategy, but also supplies a green and low‐cost molecular engineering scheme for designing electroactive materials for energy storage. |
