The granted patent US12074314B2 presents a novel cathodic material designed for use in batteries. Central to this invention is a macrocycle that includes a substituted or unsubstituted phenanthrenequinone unit arranged in a triangular formation alongside a graphite flake. The claims detail various configurations of the macrocycle, including the incorporation of a cationic aluminum complex, which enhances the material's electrochemical properties. The cathodic material is specified to maintain a weight ratio of macrocycle to graphite flake between approximately 2.0:1.0 and 1.0:2.0, and may also include an electron-conducting additive, such as acetylene black, and a binder material to improve performance.

Additionally, the patent outlines the application of this cathodic material in electrodes and batteries. The batteries described consist of a cathode that incorporates the cathodic material and an electrolyte, which may include aluminum halides or imidazolium compounds, such as ethyl-3-methylimidazolium. The claims further specify that the battery may also feature an anode composed of aluminum or an aluminum-based active material. This innovative approach to cathodic materials and battery design aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of energy storage systems.
