Fuel cells and batteries employing polyacetylene electrodes in aqueous electrolytes. Interim technical report
Technical Report

OSTI ID:6228086
These studies show that an organic polymer such as polyacetylene has the capability of acting as an electrocatalytic electrode for the spontaneous reduction of gaseous oxygen at one atmosphere pressure and at room temperature in aqueous acid media. They also show that p-doped polyacetylene can act as an electrode-active cathode material for rechargeable battery cells in certain aqueous electrolytes. These observation suggest that a large new area, not only of fundamental scientific interest but also of possible potential technological importance, may exist involving the aqueous electrochemistry of (CH)x and also other conducting polymers.
