Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is introduced as a novel and sustainable cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs). Based on an anion insertion/desertion reaction, TTF delivers a capacity of 102 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 under −20 °C, and obtains a high capacity retention of 96 % after 3500 cycles. Kinetic analysis demonstrates that TTF is more surface-controlled electrochemical process than diffusion-controlled at low temperature. Comprehensive analysis, including ex-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Raman, E...
