subject: Aqueous and non-aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion battery; Cyclic voltammetry; EIS; GCPL
description: In the present work, the indole derivative, namely, 3,3?,3?-methane-triyl-tris-1H-indol(tris-Ind), is synthesized and characterized as an organic electrode material in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (RLIB). The structural characterization of the synthesized molecule is carried out using physicochemical techniques. The ball milling method is used for the lithiation process to form electroactive lithiated tris-Ind (Li-tris-Ind). The electrochemical activity of Li-tris-Ind is measured in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytic media, and the results are compared. The aqueous cell system delivers an average cell potential of 0.76V with a discharge capacity of 189 mAhg?1, whereas the non-aqueous cell system delivers an average potential of 1V with 506 mAhg?1. The potentiostatic electrochemical impedance spectroscopic studies reveal the kinetics of finite diffusion. The organic electrode shows good cyclic stability and reproducibility in both systems, making it a significant practical material for RLIB applications.
