Abstract
The Front Cover shows how strategic ligand design tunes iron redox chemistry for safer, more durable, and scalable flow batteries. Phosphonate-based complexes deliver lower redox potentials (higher output voltages) and enhanced stability compared with carboxylate analogues. This work provides molecular-level guidance for next-generation
high-performance Fe-RFB electrolyte development. More information can be found in the Research Article by G. Li and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/batt.70408).
