AbstractLithium-ion batteries are among the most widely used energy storage systems powering modern electronics, from smartphones to electric vehicles. However, their production depends on limited and unsustainably sourced transition metals like lithium and cobalt, which pose long-term challenges for cost and environmental impact. This research project aims to develop new organic electrode materials as sustainable alternatives for energy storage in batteries. These materials are composed of earth-abunda
