X-ray-absorption studies of organodisulfide redox polymeric electrodes

Abstract
We have measured the near-edge x-ray-absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra of the K edge of sulfur in organodisulfide redox polymeric electrodes in both charged and discharged states. The formation and scission of S-S bonding during the charge-discharge cycle were observed through NEXAFS spectroscopy.
