38. A value of n C corresponds to a current rate for a full charge (discharge) in 1/n hours.
39. Theoretical capacity in units of Ahkg-1 is calculated by F(1000/Mw)n/3600, where F is Faraday's constant (9.65-104 C mol-1), Mw is the molecular weight, and n is the number of electrons involved in the charge-discharge process.
40. A battery using BEDT-TTF also showed a three-step charge-discharge processes, while the molecule itself shows two-stage redox chemistry in solution; see Ref. [15a].
41. Considering the length of each plateau and the voltage gaps, we assumed that the two lower plateaus correspond to the same redox stage.
42. Only the first plateau voltages were adopted for chloranil and Me2DCNQI, because they showed voltage plateaus in the first discharge processes.
43. The data of a cell using EDT-TTF was not adopted, because the cell showed an unambiguous plateau voltage; see Figure S14.
44. The potential was estimated using potentials of Li/Li+ (-2.73 V) and of Fc/Fc+ (+0.62 V) vs. standard hydrogen electrode in acetonitrile. For the potential of Li/Li+, see: a) Y. Marcus, Pure Appl. Chem. 1985, 57, 1129; for the potential of Fc/Fc+, see:
