Abstract
The electronic conductivity and redox behavior of conjugated polymers make them suitable for charge storage applications. We present preliminary results for an all polymer system consisting of a p-doped polypyrrole cathode and pseudo n-doped polypyrrole/polystyrenesulfonate anode. Using a thin film construction technique, electrodes were assembled into cells using a polymer gel electrolyte based on polyacrylonitrile, which has a high room temperature conductivity. Charge capacities of 13 mAh g-1 based on the mass of the electroactive polymer in the cathode have been obtained for over 100 cycles.
