The characteristics of electrochemically synthesized polythiophene electrodes have been examined in view of their application in rechargeable lithium, organic electrolyte batteries. The kinetics of the electrochemical doping process of polythiophene in LiClO4-propylene carbonate electrolyte are quite fast, especially for polymers grown from the 2,2′-dithiophene dimer. The polythiophene electrodes behave very satisfactorily in terms of charge-discharge efficiency and cyclability. However, also this type of electrodes seems to be affected by the self-discharge processes commonly experienced by semiconducting polymers in lithium, organic electrolyte batteries.

Abstract
The characteristics of electrochemically synthesized polythiophene electrodes have been examined in view of their application in rechargeable lithium, organic electrolyte batteries. The kinetics of the electrochemical doping process of polythiophene in LiClO4-propylene carbonate electrolyte are quite fast, especially for polymers grown from the 2,2′-dithiophene dimer. The polythiophene electrodes behave very satisfactorily in terms of charge-discharge efficiency and cyclability. However, also this type of electrodes seems to be affected by the self-discharge processes commonly experienced by semiconducting polymers in lithium, organic electrolyte batteries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
