A new polymer cathode-conducting polymer interconnected with sulfur-sulfur bonds: poly(2, 2'-dithiodianiline)

摘要

Poly(2, 2'-Dithiodianiline)(Poly(DTDA), a conducting polymer having disulfide bond in it, has been proposed as a new class of high energy storage material. DTDA has one S-S bond interconnected between two moieties of anilines. The structure of the poly(DTDA) wassimilar to that of olyaniline in addition that the S-S bond is preserved after electropolymerization of DTDA. The poly(DTDA) has some advantages because of its high theoretical energy density, faster kinetics and higher electrical conductivity than other organosulfur cathodes.
