Abstract:
Donor-acceptor conjugated polymers, their precursors, synthesis and use. Electron-accepting (A) and electron-donating (D) repeat units having a conjugated polymer backbone are able to operate under both positive and negative bias, making a device with a relatively high operating voltage possible. The specific energy and specific power exceeds what is attainable with conventional conjugated polymers.
Abstract:
An electrochemically-polymerized fullerene, or fullerene derivative, homopolymer that can be used as an organic negative electrode for supercapacitors is described.
