Abstract

Inspired by the DNA structure, we design and synthesize a novel, fully conjugated small organic molecule (HAT-NQ) through the modular assembly of benzene rings, pyrazine, 1,4-dihydropyrazine, and 1,4-benzoquinone. Leveraging the synergistic effect of these building blocks, HAT-NQ exhibits exceptional electrochemical performance in aqueous Zn-ion batteries.
