ORGANIC FLEXIBLE BATTERY: DESIGN, SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF N-TYPE ORGANIC STORAGE AND TRANSPORT MATERIALS

Abstract

In the chapter 1, we introduce that the basic performance metrics for the general battery. In addition, the advantages and shortcomings of conventional lithium-ion batteries with organic storage materials is compared to show that polymer battery is a promising alternative. Last the cell performance based on state-of-the-art n-type is reviewed. Chapter 2 describes the Ag/Ag2S reference electrode designed for electrochemical characterization in the organic system and five polymer storage materials are measured against home-made Ag/Ag2S reference electrode. Chapter 3 presents the design concept of storage materials-embedded polymer matrix concept. Representative storage and conductive organic electrode materials are synthesized, characterized, and assembled in coin cell to conduct cycling test.
