Rechargeable aluminum-organic batteries consist of Earth-abundant materials with tunable properties. However, due to the complexity of these systems there is no complete, experimentally validated mechanism in the literature. We employ solid-state NMR methodologies to investigate the electrochemical enolization mechanism of quinones, while also elucidating the nature of their electroactive ions.
