Solid State Lithium/Polyacetylene Battery.

Abstract

A solid-state lithium/iodine battery has been formed by directly contacting metallic lithium with iodine-doped polyacetylene. The procedure is similar to that used for the well-known lithium/iodine-polyvinylpyridine system. The advantage of the system here proposed may be related to the extraordinary electrical properties of polyacetylene which, when doped with iodine, acquires a very high electrical conductivity over a wide range of halogen concentration.
