Abstract

With the increasing demand for large-scale energy storage, water-based energy storage batteries have attracted much attention due to their low cost, environmental friendliness, high ion conductivity, and safety. Compared with inorganic electrode materials, the controllable structure of organic electrode materials has been widely studied, among which triazine materials are considered as very promising organic electrode active materials due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and sustainable characteristics. This article summarizes the applications of different triazine materials, such as phenazine and its derivatives, and triazine materials with Hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) as the redox core, in various battery systems such as flow batteries, lithium-ion batteries, zinc ion aqueous batteries, etc. On this basis, the disadvantages of triazine materials and modification strategies for triazine materials were proposed, providing a broader application prospect for the use of triazine materials in energy storage batteries.
