Disadvantages
The main disadvantage of organic radical batteries is that they have a much lower capacity than other competing battery types. The lower capacity is due to their sleek build which provides minimal storage space for energy. In addition to a lacking power capacity, the electrolyte solution also has the property of self-discharging due to the solubility of organic radical polymers. Although there is currently no alternative to prevent self-discharging since the solubility is what allows for spin coating, scientist Hiroyuki Nishide is actively working on a photocrosslinking method in an attempt to create a tougher polymer.
