Fig. 3: Electrochemical performance of AB and its derivatives at low concentrations.

Representative charge and discharge profiles of 0.1 M AB electrolyte at a current density of 0.2 mA cm−2 (a) and rate performance (b). Cycling capacity and coulombic efficiency of 0.1 M AB and 0.1 M Fc electrolytes at a current density of 0.2 (c) and 0.4 mA cm−2 (d), respectively. Charge and discharge profiles (e) and cycling performance (f) of 0.1 M MAB electrolyte at a current density of 0.2 mA cm−2. The supporting salts used in c are LiTFSI (blue) and mixed salts (pink, LiTFSI + TEABF4).
