In response to rapid increasing energy storage demands of consuming electronics, electrical vehicles, electrical grids, and clean energy storage, there is an urgent call for advanced rechargeable batteries with superior energy storage performance compared to existing battery technologies. The presentation will cover our research efforts in developing new battery chemistries for sustainable and economical electrochemical energy storage. Through rational molecular engineering, we have designed and applied redox active molecules including viologen, ferrocene, ferrocyanide and TEMPO for developing aqueous and nonaqueous organic redox flow batteries (AORFBs and NAORFBs). Particularly, the chemistry and battery performance of AORFBs will be discussed in detail. In addition, Mg electrolyte chemistries and their applications in developing high energy density Mg rechargeable batteries will also be presented. How mechanistic understandings at the molecular level play crucial roles in developing new generation of rechargeable batteries will be emphasized.
