Abstract
The characteristics of electrochemically prepared polycarbazole (PCARB) as the cathode active material for secondary batteries are studied in aqueous electrolytes. The cell of the type Zn/Zn(ClO4)(2)/PCARB has a specific capa city of 30 Ah/kg and an energy density of 46 Wh/kg. The coulombic efficienc y is about 80-90% and is dependent on the thickness of PCARB films. Cole-Co le plots for PCARB electrodes by impedance measurements have been obtained at different oxidation potentials as a function of doping. (C) 1999 John Wi ley & Sons, Inc.
