Organic compounds are desirable alternatives for sustainable lithium‐ion battery electrodes. However, the electrochemical properties of state‐of‐the‐art organic electrodes are still worse than commercial inorganic counterparts. Here, a new chemistry is reported based on the electrochemical conversio...
