Abstract
The present invention is directed to a redox-active, conducting polymer energy storage system, said system including an electrode and a counter electrode, wherein the electrode comprises a first conducting polymer and the counter electrode comprises a second conducting polymer, wherein the first conducting polymer is doped by at least one or more first redox-active compounds and/or by a polymer and/or a co-polymer of the one or more first redox-active compounds and the second conducting polymer is doped by at least one or more second redox-active compounds and/or by a polymer and/or a co-polymer of the one or more second redox-active compounds, and wherein there is a potential difference between the dopant for the electrode and the dopant for the counter electrode. In one preferred embodiment, the first or the second redox-active compound is 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). In another preferred embodiment, an exemplary redox-active compound is a polymerizable derivative of ABTS or a polymer or co-polymer of this monomer.
