Abstract
A film cathode was prepared from a solution containing 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMcT) and polyaniline (PAn). The resulting cathode exhibits 80% of the theoretical capacity. Further, an energy density of over 600 Wh/kg-cathode and a discharge voltage of 3.4 V are obtained, when it is coupled with a lithium anode. Additional advantages of the present cathode material over the conventional metal oxides are the ease in disposal by incineration, the low pollution and the low cost.
