Patent number: 12243664Abstract: Compositions and methods related to conducting polymeric compositions that can be used in devices for storage of electrical energy are generally provided. The composition may include redox active polymers that include an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle and an electron rich aromatic compound. The electroactive polymers may be formed by polymerizing an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle-based unit with an electron rich aromatic compound in the presence of heat and an acid-based catalyst. The resulting electroactive polymers may be suitable as polymer films for use as electrodes in energy storage devices. The polymer films disposed as electrodes can improve the energy density of such devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: PolyJoule, Inc.Inventors: Zhengguo Zhu, Timothy Manning Swager

Publication number: 20210403647Abstract: Compositions and methods related to conducting polymeric compositions that can be used for the storage of electrical energy are generally provided. In some embodiments, the composition comprises redox active polymers comprising an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle and an electron rich aromatic compound. In some embodiments, the composition comprises a triazine-based polymer. The electroactive polymers may be formed, in some cases, by polymerizing an electrophilic nitrogen containing heterocycle-based unit with an electron rich aromatic compound in the presence of heat and an acid-based catalyst. The resulting electroactive polymers may be suitable as polymer films for use as electrodes in energy storage devices. The polymer films disposed as electrodes can improve the energy density of such devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2019Publication date: December 30, 2021Applicant: PolyJoule, Inc.Inventors: Zhengguo Zhu, Timothy Manning Swager
