In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. The design permits larger amounts of energy to be stored at lower cost than with traditional batteries.
