Redox Cofactor from Biological Energy Transduction as Molecularly Tunable Energy‐Storage Compound

Abstract

Flavin Battery: Flavins are used as a molecularly tunable cathode material that reversibly reacts with two lithium ions and two electrons per formula unit. Combined ex situ analyses and DFT calculations reveal that the redox reaction occurs using two successive single-electron transfer steps at nitrogen atoms of the diazabutadiene motif (see picture).
