University of Texas at Austin presented its research on the development of organic cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. This research opens up the developmenet of green materials for batteries as an alternative to lithium cobalt oxide. The research was presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society as part of the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society. The abstract of the research follows:

There has been much interest in the development of organic cathode materials for lithium ion batteries as a green alternative to the expensive lithium cobalt oxide. Previously, our group has reported a novel class of compounds derived from the reaction of quino(imidazolylidene)s and a variety of azidoarenes. In this presentation, we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of quino(triazene)s as cathodes for lithium ion batteries. Furthermore, we describe their solid state structure, electrochemistry, electrochromic properties, and battery performance.
