| abstract |
The present invention pertains to electroactive, energy-storing, highly crosslinked organic polymers and copolymers with a carbocyclic repeat unit comprising a carbocycle with from 3 to 12 ring carbon atoms, wherein each repeat unit is covalently linked via divalent polysulfide linkages having the formula, -Sm-, where m is the same or different at each occurrence and is an integer from 3 to 10. The present invention also pertains to methods of making such polymers and copolymers, composite cathodes and electric current producing cells comprising such polymers and copolymers, and methods of making such cathodes and electric current producing cells. |
