Abstract
All-organic aqueous batteries based on universal poly(imide) anodes and poly(catechol) cathodes with tunable cell voltage are reported by exploiting different charge carriers (Li<sup>+</sup>, Zn<sup>2+</sup>, Al<sup>3+</sup>, and Li<sup>+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup>). A full-cell achieves the highest energy/power density of 80.6 W h kg<sup>−1</sup>/348 kW kg<sup>−1</sup> in Li<sup>+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup>.
