The promising crystallinity and tunable redox capabilities of naphthalene diimides make them attractive candidates as electroactive materials for organic-based lithium-ion batteries. In this study, a family of naphthalene diimide derivates was synthesized and their redox properties explored with the intent of unveiling structures with reduction potentials that are higher than those encountered in previous organic redox processes. Changes in the electronic characteristics of the aryl substituents resulted in materials with discharge potentials that vary from 2.3 to 2.9 V vs Li/Li+, with discharge capacities as high as 121 mAh/g.
