Energy and environmental issues have given rise to the development of advanced energy-storage devices worldwide. Electrochemical energy technologies, such as rechargeable batteries, are considered to be the most reliable and efficient candidates. Compared with other batteries, zinc-based batteries seem promising due to their advantages, including inherent safety, cost-effectiveness, and environmentally friendliness. As potential alternatives to conventional inorganic cathodes, organic cathodes for Zn-organic batteries have become a hot topic for research, owing to their favorable characteristics, such as easy structure design, controllable synthesis, and environmental benignancy. Herein, a systematic overview on the fundamentals of organic cathode materials for zinc batteries, including material design, electrochemical mechanisms, technical advances, and challenging analysis, is provided. Furthermore, perspectives and corresponding research directions are offered to facilitate the future development of organic cathode materials for zinc batteries toward practical applications.
