title: Assorted Phenoxyl-Radical Polymers and Their Application in Lithium-Organic Batteries.
abstract: The synthesis and electrochemical characterization of novel polymers bearing phenoxyl-radicals as redox-active side chains is described. The monomers are synthesized from the corresponding phenols and quinones, respectively. These compounds are subsequently poly-merized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. The electrochemical properties of the phenoxyl-radical polymers are characterized using cyclic voltammetry and the most promising polymer is investigated as active material in a lithium coin-cell, creating the first phenoxyl-lithium battery. These phenoxyl-containing polymers represent interesting anode materials for organic radical and lithium batteries due to their suitable redox-potentials and possibility to create batteries with higher potentials as well as straightforward synthesis procedures.
