Final Report Summary - ORGBATT-SPIROPOL (Organic Electrode Materials and Luminescent Polymers through Spiroconjugation)
The objectives of the project OrgBatt-SpiroPol were to design, synthesize, and test new organic materials for charge storage applications and polymers with unusual conjugation types as novel luminescent materials. Several aliphatic polymers functionalized with redox-active side groups were synthesized and investigated as cathode-active materials for lithium-ion batteries. Synthetic strategies were elaborated to build up functional monomers with unusual conjugation characteristics for incorporation into conjugated polymers.
