Abstract

A new highly soluble triazine derivative (SPr)34TpyTz showing three reversibleredox processes with fast kinetics and high diffusion coefficientshas been synthesized using an efficient, low-cost, and straightforwardsynthetic route. Concentrated single cell tests and DFT studies reveala tendency of the reduced triazine species to form aggregates whichcould be avoided by tuning the supporting electrolyte concentration.Under the right conditions, (SPr)34TpyTz shows no capacity decay and good Coulombic, voltage,and energy efficiencies for the storage of two electrons. The storageof further electrons leads to a higher capacity decay and an increaseof the electrolyte pH, suggesting the irreversible protonation ofthe generated species. So, a plausible mechanism has been proposed.A higher concentration of (SPr)34TpyTz shows slightly higher capacity decay and lowerefficiencies due to the aggregate formation.
