Polytriphenylamine composites for energy storage electrodes: effect of pendant vs. backbone polymer architecture of the electroactive group.

ABSTRACT: Polymers are an increasingly used class of materials in semiconductors, photovoltaics and energy storage. Polymers bearing triphenylamine (TPA) or its derivatives in their structures have shown promise for application in electrochemical energy storage devices. The aim of this work is to systematically synthesize polymers bearing TPA units either as pendant groups or directly along the backbone of the polymer and evaluate their performance as electrochemical energy storage electrode materials. The first was obtained via radical polymerization of an acrylate monomer bearing TPA as a side group, resulting in a non-conjugated polymer with individual redox active sites (rP). The latter was obtained by oxidative polymerization of a substituted TPA, resulting in a conjugated polymer with T
