Abstract

ABSTRACT Lithium‐organic batteries have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to the sustainability and highly tunable molecular structures of organic electrode materials. Despite promising results reported in the literature, transitioning these systems to practical applications remains a significant challenge due to the dissolution and low intrinsic electronic conductivity of organic electrode materials. This Review seeks to bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical applications by outlining comprehensive strategies for developing viable lithium‐organic battery systems. Accelerating practical application will require improvements in electronic conductivity and redox‐site accessibility at the material level, while advancing electrode manufacturing and cell assembly to enable scalable production. Critical performance metrics, such as energy density, cycling stability, and safety, are discussed to assess the feasibility of organic batteries across different application conditions. This review aims to provide guidance toward a more sustainable and environmentally responsible energy future.
