Oligomerized imide and thioimide organic cathode materials via a H-transfer mechanism for high capacity lithium ion batteries

A H-transfer process for oligomerized imide and thioimide is proposed offering ultra-high theoretical capacities of 1246 and 908 mA h g −1 and practical capacities of 464.6 and 820.6 mA h g −1 . This work provides a new energy storage mechanism for organic electrode materials.
