In this study, the authors report the highly efficient, multigram‐scale synthesis of an ester‐functionalized, poly(aniline‐co‐fluorene) polymer. The excellent solubility and film‐forming ability of this polymer facilitate its application as a reversible battery cathode. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring confirms a multi‐electron transfer process, resulting in a specific discharge capacity of 51 mAh g ⁻¹ and a high reversible doping level of 0.69. Galvanostatic cycling at 1 C demonstrates excellent electrode stability with a capacity retention of 95.2% after 100 cycles. Therefore, this work demonstrates a novel electroactive polymer that exemplifies how chemical functionality may be used to properly balance processability and electroactivity of macromolecular battery cathodes. image
