| Abstract: | In recent years, organic conducting polymers have made concrete inroads in the field of battery materials. In the present communication we report, the synthesis and oxidation potentials of poly-p-phenylene (PPP) , polymethylphenylene (PPPmethyl), polypropylphenylene (PPPpropyl), polysulphophenylene (PPPS03H), polychlorophenylene (PPPCl), polynitrophenylene (PPPN02) and polyaminophenylene (PPPNHz). A mixture of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF) and acetylenic carbon was used as conducting adhesive to study electrochemical properties of PPP and derivatives in acetonitrile containing 0.2 M LiCl04 and aqueous sulphuric acid media. We discuss the effects of the substituent groups on PPP and possibilities of its use as a battery material in the light of EPR, conductivity and electrochemical results. |
