New phenazine based anolyte material for high voltage organic redox flow batteries

and demonstrates excellent (>2.5 M) solubility in MeCN. A non-aqueous organic redox flow battery assembled using the novel phenazine derivative as an anolyte and a substituted triarylamine derivative as a catholyte exhibited high specific capacity (∼93% from the theoretical value), >95% Coulombic efficiency, 65% utilization of active materials and good charge-discharge cycling stability.
