Structural Design of Organic Electrode Materials for Low‐Temperature Batteries
Low‐temperature operation remains a long‐standing challenge for electrochemical energy storage, as severe performance decay arises from the combined effects of sluggish ion transport, high desolvation barriers, unstable interphases, and electrode structural degradation. Organic electrode materials stand out as a promising platform because their molecular structures, aggregation modes, and framework architectures can be deliberately engineered over multiple length scales. This review systematically outlines recent progress in low‐temperature organic batteries by focusing on three interrelated dimensions, namely stability, conductivity, and electrolyte‐interphase adaptation. Through this framework, the roles of molecular design, conductive architecture, and solvation chemistry in determining low‐temperature behavior are discussed. Finally, key challenges and future research directions are highlighted to provide guidance for the rational design of next‐generation organic batteries for extreme cold environment.
