Reversible Elektrode

摘要

A reversible electrode of the present invention includes, as a main component thereof, a thiourea compound represented by the following formula (I): (where R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, and R<4> are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, a hydroxyl group, a cyano group, a carboxyl group, an amino group, an aryl group, an allyl group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, a group containing a mercapto group, a group containing a phenyl group, a group having a hetero ring containing O, and a group having a hetero ring containing N) or a polymer having the thiourea compound as its main polymer unit; the reversible electrode utilizing reversible electrochemical oxidation-reduction of sulfur atoms of the thiourea compound or the polymer.
