Polyacenic semiconductor (PAS) films (H/C=0.30) prepared from pyrolyti
c treatment of phenol-formaldehyde resin can be deeply doped with lith
ium up to 16.5% starting from IV versus Li/Li+ with good reversibility
. From the 1st to the 100th doping-undoping cycle the X ray diffractio
n pattern almost did not change. It has been found that PAS has excell
ent stability even at the deeply doped state. Moreover, the XPS spectr
a show that the doped lithium in PAS is in neither metallic nor ionic
state.
