Abstract

An A/B/C triblock copolymer has been synthesized having potential applications as a self-contained nanoscale battery. A new organometallic compound was synthesized which serves as the anode. The polyelectrolyte block of the copolymer is an unsaturated polyether. The last block acts as the template to form metal oxide clusters and functions as the cathode. The triblock copolymer was synthesized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization using Grubbs's catalyst. GPC and NMR were used to monitor the polymerization. ¹H and ¹³C NMR, FTIR, UV-vis, GPC with light scattering, and XPS were used to characterize the synthesized polymer.
