PHENANTHRENEQUINONE COMPOUND, ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, AND ELECTRICAL STORAGE DEVICE

摘要

A specific quinone compound, which contains two quinone groups at ortho positions and has such a characteristic that an electron transfer is caused during a reversible oxidation-reduction reaction, is oligomerized or polymerized. Consequently, there is obtained a novel organic compound which is insoluble in an organic solvent, while having high energy density. This novel organic compound is useful as an electrode active material for electrical storage devices. By using this organic compound as an electrode active material, there can be obtained an electrical storage device having higher energy density, lighter weight, smaller size and higher functions.
