Abstract

Cyclability features of an all solid-state lithium polybithiophene battery with PEO20LiClO4 polymer electrolyte was investigated at 70°C working temperature. Although the capacity values of the solid device are lower than those of the comparable one with liquid electrolyte, the cyclability performances are promising and the cycle life is satisfactory.

The shelf-life of the solid battery was also investigated. The self-discharge rate is fast at 70°C but is not appreciable at room temperature.

    Polythiophene and its derivatives have been widely studied during the past years, due to their large application possibilities [1,2], including sensors and/or biosensors [3–7], electrochemical [8,9] and photovoltaic cells [10,11], energy storage [12–15], transistors [16–18], electroluminescent diodes [19], or protective coatings [20–22].

    Some improvements in self discharge at room temperature for the cell using poly(N-oxyalkylpyrrol) positive electrode and a PEO-modified-LiClO4 electrolyte was seen in which the cell lost 35% of its charge during storage of one week [156]. Some interesting results were observed with Li/P(EO)20-LiClO4/poly(bithiophene) (PBT) cell which showed about 300 life cycles operating at 70°C [157]. A doping level of 0.17 was attained in the PBT.
