The application of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for energy storage has attracted considerable interest due to their wide use in portable electronics and promising application in high-power electric vehicles. Nowadays, many studies focus on inorganic materials and their carbon-involved composites. But their fabrication consumes a huge amount of energy and releases a large amount of CO2, which undermines their environmental sustainability. Moreover, the ultimately limited availability of lithium on earth has forced researchers to evaluate alternative electroactive materials for batteries. Compared to inorganic materials, organic compounds are attractive alternative electrode candidates for nextgeneration LIBs because of their distinct advantages such as lightweight, abundance, non-toxicity, sustainability, flexibility, and simple structure optimization. Therefore, replacing inorganic electrodes with organic materials in rechargeable batteries is ideal to alleviate the environmental and sustainability challenges.
