摘要: Current lithium batteries operate on inorganic insertion compounds to power a diverse range of applications, but recently there is surging demand develop environmentally friendly green electrode materials. To sustainable and eco-friendly ion batteries, we report reversible storage properties naturally occurring abundant organic compound purpurin, which non-toxic derived from the plant madder. The carbonyl/hydroxyl groups present in purpurin molecules act as redox centers reacts electrochemically with Li-ions during charge/discharge process. mechanism lithiation fully elucidated using NMR, UV FTIR spectral studies. formation most favored six membered binding core carbonyl hydroxyl at C-1 C-4 positions respectively facilitated process, whereas group C-2 position remains unaltered.
