Abstract
The adaptable layer structure of molybdenum trioxide was exploited to insert the amino derivative form of the conductive polymer poly(para-phenylene) (PPPNH2) within the van der Waals gap. Two polymer insertion routes were designed that yield novel PPPNH2-MoO3 materials of different composition. Characterization of these materials using powder XRD, thermal analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy shows insertion of the polymer has occurred. The properties of the nanocomposites for low potential electrochemical lithium insertion were compared to those of the sodium molybdenum bronze using the materials as cathodes in conventional lithium cells. Initial results indicate the specific charge capacity and irreversibility during the first charge are effected by polymer content whereas polarization is not.
