Redox-active organic molecules are promising candidates for next-generation electrode materials. Nevertheless, finding low-molecular-weight organic materials with a long cycle life remains a crucial challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the application of tetrathiafulvalene and its vinyl analogue bearing triphenylamines as long-cycle-life electrodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). These molecules were successfully synthesized using palladium-catalyzed C–H arylation. Electrochemical analysis revealed that a polymer formed on the electrode. LIBs comprising these molecules exhibited noteworthy charge–discharge properties with a long cycle life (the capacity after 100 cycles was greater than 90% of the discharge capacity in the third cycle) and a high utilization ratio (approximately 100%). “In-cell” polymerization during the first charge process is considered to contribute to the effect. This study indicates new avenues for the creation of organic materials for rechargeable batteries.
