Abstract: An electrochemical device is disclosed, which comprises at least a pair of electrodes; and a solid or solid-like composite electrolyte interposed therebetween, comprising substantially uniform spherical particles having no or substantially no electronic conductivity which are dispersed in the solid or solid-like composite electrolyte.

Abstract: A sheet-shaped electrode comprising a polymeric active material (1) and a collector (2) having a plurality of penetrating pores (3), a method of producing the same, and a secondary battery containing the sheet-shaped electrode as a positive electrode. The plurality of the pores provided on the sheet-shaped collector enlarges the contact area between the collector and the polymeric active material, so that close contact between these two members is improved. A polyaniline layer which is prepared by electrochemical polymerization of an aniline type compound in the presence of sulfuric acid or sulfonic acids is applied on both faces of the collector (aluminum) as the polymeric active material. In a secondary battery which comprises the sheet-shaped electrode as a positive electrode, the positive and a negative electrodes are alternately folded with a separator interposed therebetween.

Abstract: A composite sheet-shaped electrode comprising an aluminum collector and aniline type polymer serving as an active material, a secondary battery using the composite sheet-shaped electrode as the positive electrode thereof, and a method of preparing electrochemically the composite sheet-shaped electrode on the aluminum collector are disclosed.

Abstract: An organic secondary battery comprising an anode including an anode-active material, a cathode including a cathode-active material and an electrolytic medium, in which at least the cathode-active material consists essentially of a benzene polymer, and a method of producing the benzene polymer by electrolytic polymerization with anodic oxidation of a benzene or benzene derivative monomer in an electrolytic solution.

Abstract: A bonded body of aluminum and electroconductive polymer, said aluminum having a surface to which said polymer is bonded, and mainly having (HOO) face (H=1,2,4) as a crystal face at said surface.

Abstract: Polymers having repeat units represented by formula (Ia) in the main chain thereof, ##STR1## wherein Ar represents an aromatic conjugated group, and n is 10 or more, and a method of producing polymers having repeat units of general formula (I), ##STR2## wherein Ar represents an aromatic conjugated group, and X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 each represent hydrogen or halogen when the bond between the two carbon atoms is a double bond, and when the bond is a triple bond, neither X.sup.1 nor X.sup.2 exist by the electrochemical reduction of a monomer having general formula,Z.sup.1 -Ar-Z.sup.2 (II),wherein Ar is the same as that defined in the above formula (I), and Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 each represent a methyl halide, are disclosed. These polymers are semiconductive or electroconductive and can be used as an active material of the electrodes of organic secondary batteries.
