Flexible lithium ion batteries (FLIBs) are considered as potential application in the next 20 years for wearable devices and internet of things. However, it is a rough road to commercial preparation of flexible electrodes due to the complicated experimental process and expensive cost. Herein, a- facile fabricated strategy, filtration, is applied to disperse active materials LiFePO4 in conductive flexible network (LFP/CNTs/cotton) as a free-standing cathode for FLIBs. The fabricated free-standing LFP/CNTs/cotton electrode holds promising electrochemical stability, which still has a high capacity of 120 mAh/g at a current density of 2000 mA/g for 900 cycles. In addition, this method can be easily replicated for the flexibility of other powder active materials. This study is of great significance for the industrialization of the flexible electrode and exhibiting great potential in high-performance flexibility energy-related systems.

Development of novel organics that exhibit multiple and stable redox states, limited solubility and improved conductivity is a highly rewarding direction for improving the performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). As biologically derived organic molecules, carbonylpyridinium compounds have desirable and tunable redox properties, making them suitable candidates for battery applications. In this work, we report a structural evolution of carbonylpyridinium-based redox-active organics, from 2-electron accepting BMP to 4-electron accepting small, conjugated molecules (1, 2), and then to the corresponding conjugated polymers (CP1, CP2). Through suppression of dissolution and increasing electrochemical conductivity, the LIBs performance can be gradually enhanced. At a relatively high current of 0.5 A g-1, high specific capacities for 1 (100 mAh g-1), 2 (260 mAh g-1), CP1 (360 mAh g-1) and CP2 (540 mAh g-1) can be reached after 240 cycles. Particularly, the rate performance and cycling stability of CP2 surpasses many reported commercial inorganic and organic electrode materials. This work provides a promising new carbonylpyridinium-based building block featured with multiple redox centers, on the way to high performance Li-organic batteries.
