Abstract

A novel polyimide derivative is prepared by a condensation polymerization of pyromellitic dianhydride and 2,6-diaminoanthraquinone and a flexible electrode film -SWNT is further fabricated by filtration with single-walled carbon nanotube dispersions. connects different carbonyl groups of dianhydride and quinone together, therefore combining the advantages of different units together. Electrochemical tests show that -SWNT can transfer three electrons reversibly and theoretical calculations also prove that. -SWNT shows a high capacity of 190 mA h g-1 and superior rate performance, maintaining 120 mA h g-1 at 20C. -SWNT is a promising flexible electrode because of its good performance and flexibility.
