Aqueous batteries, which use water-based solutions as an electrolyte, have been around since the 1860s. They are safe, efficient, and cheap. But many electrode materials do not perform well in aqueous electrolytes. Organic redox polymers are no different. To overcome this, a group of researchers has unveiled a new organic redox polymer that addresses its hydrophobicity.
