Abstract

Abstract Li‐ion batteries presently operate on inorganic insertion compounds. The abundance and materials life‐cycle costs of such batteries may present issues in the long term with foreseeable large‐scale applications. To address the issue of sustainability of electrode materials, a radically different approach from the conventional route has been adopted to develop new organic electrode materials. The oxocarbon salt Li 2 C 6 O 6 is synthesized through potentially low‐cost processes free of toxic solvents and by enlisting the use of natural organic sources (CO 2 ‐harvesting entities). It contains carbonyl groups as redox centres and can electrochemically react with four Li ions per formula unit. Such battery processing comes close to both sustainable and green chemistry concepts, which are not currently present in Li‐ion cell technology. The consideration of renewable resources in designing electrode materials could potentially enable the realization of green and sustainable batteries within the next decade.
