All‐Plastic Batteries with Polyacetylene Electrodes

Abstract

A rechargeable all-plastic battery was fabricated using (CH)x film as the electrode active material and P V D F . LiC104 9 PC [LiC1OJPC in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)] film as the electrolyte. The (CH)x/PVDF 9 LiC104 9 PC/(CH)x battery exhibited an open-circuit voltage of 3.4V, and an initial short-circuit current of 13 m A (weight of (CH)x electrode: ca. 4 rag; doping level, y = 0.008). E x p e r i m e n t a l energy density of 47 Wh/kg was obtained based on the weight of (CH)x film (weight

Surface Analysis Studies on Polymer Electrolyte Membranes Using Scanning Electron Microscope and Atomic Force Microscope

“…Infrared spectral (IR) analysis is a powerful tool for identifying the nature of bonding and different functional groups present in a sample by monitoring the vibrational energy levels of the molecules, which are essentially the fingerprint of different molecules [Nagatomo et al, 1987]. Fig.2.…”

Low-profile Slot Antenna integrated with a thin polymer non-metallic battery

“…The antenna design is based on a planar layered battery design to use for our integrated antenna, similar to that used by Nagatomo [10]. Fig.…”

Hydrogel membrane electrolyte for electrochemical capacitors

“…6 GPEs exhibit liquid-like ionic conductivity while maintaining the dimensional stability of a solid system. Various polymers like poly(propylene oxide), poly(ethylene imine), poly(vinyl alcohol), 7 poly(vinylidene fluo- ride) (PVDF), 8 etc. have been found to form GPEs with conductivities ranging between 10 -4 and 10 -3 S cm -1 under ambient conditions.…”
