Synthesis of Bz-TTFs with polymerization sites and the properties of Li-ion batteries comprising them as active materials

Abstract

Two benzene-fused tetrathiafulvalene compounds with polymerization sites as positive electrode materials were synthesized. The molecular structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, and electrochemical analysis confirmed the formation of the polymer on the electrode. One of the synthesized compounds exhibited a long cycle life and a high rate performance.
