Synthesis of Poly(4-methacryloyloxy-TEMPO) via Group-Transfer Polymerization and Its Evaluation in Organic Radical Battery

摘要: Novel group-transfer polymerization (GTP) of 4-methacryloyloxy-TEMPO for the preparation of poly (4-methacryloyloxy-TEMPO)(PTMA) has been developed. The new PTMA has been tested as an active electrode material in rechargeable organic radical battery (ORB). The advantage of the GTP method is that it affords PTMA containing the theoretical amount of nitroxide groups. Furthermore, cross-linked PTMA was prepared in the presence of small amounts of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. Cyclic voltammetry of this PTMA showed a …
