Poly(boron dipyrromethene) A Redox Active Polymer Class for Polymer Redox Flow Batteries
The utilization of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) as active group for the charge storage process in a battery application is reported. Two BODIPY containing copolymers were synthesized and electrochemically characterized. The polymers feature redox processes at 0.7 V and 1.5 V vs AgNO3/Ag, which enable the application in a redox flow battery setup.
