Electronic and Ionic Conductivity of Poly(Thionaphthe-neindole)

Abstract
Current vs. time and current vs. voltage characteristics of poly(thionaphtheneindole) (pTNI) and discharge current of a solid-state battery: Mg/p(TNI)/Au were investigated in different conditions of temperature and humidity. The experimental conditions affect strongly the mechanism of charge transport, which depends on the presence in the polymer material of an amount of water, which can be reversibly extracted from or adsorbed by the sample.
