Abstract

There is no significant difference between the charge-discharge characteristics of the large-scaled polyacetylene battery (27 cm2-cell x 4) and that of 2 cm2 battery. However, the doping inhomogeneity and the non-uniformity of the film thickness cause trouble to enlarge the cathode area. The several problems to be improved, such as self-discharge, degradation of polyacetylene film, decomposition of organic solvent and others are described.
