ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, ELECTRODE, AND SECONDARY BATTERY

摘要

Electrode active material has an organic compound as a principal constituent thereof that contains a pyracene structure represented by the general formula as a constitutional unit thereof. This pyracene structure contains a plurality of substituents=X that are bonded by double bonds. =O is preferable for the substituents=X. As a result, it is possible to achieve a material that exhibits high energy density and high output, has a long life, and exhibits favorable cycling properties in that there is little capacity decline even after repeated charging/discharging.
