NEW POLYMER EXHIBITS HIGH CONDUCTIVITY AND IMPRESSIVE ELECTRODE KINETICS

摘要

Organic π-conjugated polymers have come into the spotlight in recent years in the quest to replace the costly, energy-intensive, and sometimes toxic metal-based compounds used in energy applications today. Researchers know that semiconducting polymers with redox activity and electronic conductivity would be excellent candidates for use in energy storage devices, but the creation of devices made entirely from organic materials has lagged since most polymer materials suffer from limitations in electron transport.
