摘要:
Electronically conducting polymers have been prepared from bridged dithienyl derived monomers. These monomers have been designed in order to yield polymers that possess a low bandgap (c.a. 1 eV). Recently low bandgap polymers have been targeted for use as the active material in electrochemical capacitors, better known as supercapacitors. We report the characterisation of these polymers using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and discharge cycles.
