Due to the diversity and feasibility of structural modification for organic molecules, organic-based redox flow batteries (ORFBs) have been widely investigated, especially in aqueous solution under neutral circumstance. In this work, a symmetric aqueous redox flow battery (SARFB) was rationally designed by employing a bipolar redox active molecule (N, N'-dimethyl-4, 4-bipyridinium diiodide, MVI₂) as both cathode and anode materials and combining with an anion exchange membrane. For one MVI₂ flow battery, MV²⁺/MV^·+ and I^-/I₃^- serve as the redox couples of anode and cathode, respectively. The MVI₂ battery with a working voltage of 1.02 V exhibited a high voltage efficiency of 90.30% and energy efficiency of 89.44% after 450 cycles, and crossover problem was prohibited. The comparable conductivity of MVI₂ water solution enabled to construct a battery even without using supporting electrolyte. Besides, the bipolar character of MVI₂ battery with/without supporting electrolyte was investigated in the voltage range between -1.2 V and 1.2 V, showing excellent stable cycling stability during the polarity-reversal test.
