Metal-free and totally organic based batteries were fabricated from functional polyethers. Aliphatic polyethers, in which 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl and viologen were introduced with high density, were used as the cathode and anode active materials, respectively. By stacking nanosheets of the polymers and an imidazolium-substituted polyether as the electrolyte, a solid-state cell only 2 μm thick was made. The anion-type rocking-chair cell showed reversible charge/discharge even at a high rate of 5 C without adding any solvents or plasticizers. Although the unsealed cell was measured under ambient conditions, no significant side reactions (including self-discharging and capacity decay) occurred, whereas conventional electrodes are sensitive to air and water in the charged state. The intrinsic plasticity of the polyethers is also compatible with making free-form, 3D-printable batteries.

由氧化还原活性聚醚组成的无金属固态纸质可充电电池。

无金属和完全有机的电池是由功能性聚醚制成的。以高密度引入2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶-1-氧基和紫精的脂肪族聚醚分别用作正极和负极活性材料。通过堆叠聚合物的纳米片和作为电解质的咪唑鎓取代的聚醚，制成仅2μm厚的固态电池。阴离子型摇椅电池即使不加任何溶剂或增塑剂，即使在5 C的高速率下也显示出可逆的充电/放电。尽管未密封的电池是在环境条件下测量的，但没有发生明显的副反应（包括自放电和容量衰减），而常规电极在充电状态下对空气和水敏感。
