The quest for cheaper, safer, higher-density, and more resource-abundant energy storage has driven significant battery innovations. In the context of material development for next-generation batteries, here we compare head-to-head organic battery electrode materials (OBEMs) with dominating/competing inorganic materials through analyses of charge storage mechanism, working potential, specific capacity, resource availability, and more. We show that from high-energy lithium batteries to aqueous and all-solid-state batteries, OBEMs can be designed to be sufficiently capable and offer unique feature sets unmatched by other materials. Future research directions toward practical application of OBEMs are discussed.

对更便宜，更安全，更高密度和更多资源的能源存储的追求推动了电池的重大创新。在下一代电池材料开发的背景下，我们通过分析电荷存储机制，工作潜力，比容量，资源可用性和可比性，将头对头有机电池电极材料（OBEM）与主要/竞争性无机材料进行比较。更多的。我们证明，从高能锂电池到水性和全固态电池，OBEM可以被设计为具有足够的能力，并提供其他材料无法比拟的独特功能集。讨论了面向OBEM的实际应用的未来研究方向。
