A series of dimethoxybenzene‐based catholyte molecules, which are electrochemically reversible at high potential (4.0 V vs Li/Li + ) and in the form of liquid, is developed. The liquid nature offers the molecules the possibility of being a solo or co‐solvent for nonaqueous redox flow batteries. This could dramatically improve the energy density.
