dc.description.abstractEnhancement of redox-reversibility in electroactive species has been studied because of fundamental interest and their importance for energy storage systems. Various electroactive molecules suffer from redox-irreversible behavior, and this is a critical reason for their exclusion as redox electrolytes in energy storage systems. In this article, we fully demonstrated that ascorbic acid (ASC), which is an abundant but redox-irreversible molecule, can become redox-reversible when it is confined in microporous carbon regimes. From a theoretical perspective, redox-reversibility in an electrochemical reaction coupled with an irreversible chemical process can be greatly enhanced due to kinetic acceleration toward the inverse direction of the chemical reaction by accumulation of products in the nanoconfined regime. However, the kinetic acceleration in a nanoconfined domain shows limitations for enhancing the redox-reversibility, which indicates that stabilization of the species undergoing an irreversible chemical process is another important factor for redox-reversibility enhancement. The origin of nanoporous confinement of ASC and its enhanced redox-reversibility was rationalized by molecular dynamics simulations. We found that ASC-clusters of a fully protonated ASC and its conjugated base formed inside carbon pores, which would be a main driving force for its confinement in microporous carbon networks. Lastly, we demonstrated a prototype energy storage device using redox-reversible ASC in microporous carbon as the half electrode, which shows the feasibility of ASC as a possible redox electrolyte in an aqueous energy storage system.-
