摘要 |
A polymer battery is herein disclosed which comprises a pair of electrodes for carrying out the receipt and release of electrons in accordance with an oxidation-reduction reaction of a compound to take out an electric energy, and an electrolyte, a solid electrolyte or a gel electrolyte, wherein as a compound constituting the electrodes, a pi -conjugated polymer including a nitrogen atom and/or a quinone compound is used; as the electrolyte, the solid electrolyte or the gel electrolyte, a compound containing a proton is used; and the receipt and release of the electrons in accordance with the oxidation-reduction reaction of the compound are carried out only by the bonding and elimination of the proton bonded to or coordinated with the nitrogen atom or the proton of a produced hydroxyl group under the control of a proton concentration and a working voltage. The thus constituted polymer battery enables rapid charge and discharge and is excellent in cycle properties. <IMAGE> |
