Crossover of electrolytes in redox flow batteries results in capacity fade and is commonly seen when using nonaqueous solvents. Symmetric cycling utilizes a single electrolyte acting both as the anolyte and catholyte, mitigating the impact of crossover. Herein we demonstrate the systematic synthesis and electrochemical study of organic molecules (specifically diaminoanthraquinonone derivatives) as candidates for utilization in symmetric redox flow batteries.
