this work for the first time, we present the aqueous cathode operated by the I 3 – /I – redox couples and apply this for a lithium-iodine (Li-I 2 ) battery. kWh kg -1 ) is fairly promising in comparison to the conventional lead-acid, nickel-metal hydride and Li-ion batteries, and can be further improved to be ~0.4
