Material useful as electric conductor and comprising polyacetylene or substituted polyacetylenes incorporated in mesoporous support, production process, and conductors made of said material

摘要

A material useful as an electrical conductor which comprises a conducting polymer incorporated in channels within a porous host, in which the polymer is polyacetylene or a polyacetylene derivative, in which the polymer is formed by polymerization of vapours of monomer acetylene, previously adsorbed in channels free of structure directing agent of the host, which provides an encapsulation to the polymer which protects the polymer against oxidation by oxygen in the environment, being the host a modified mesoporous aluminosilicate which presents a mean pore diameter between 2 nm and 100 nm, such as a MCM-41 type hexagonal-phase aluminosilicate or a MCM-48 type cubic-phase aluminosilicate. A process is also described for the preparation of this material and conducting materials, for example electrodes for batteries and conducting surfaces, which comprise these materials.
