Abstract:
1. An electrolyte composition comprising: a monomer component of a conductive polymer; and at least one of (i) an ionic liquid including a formate anion, and/or (ii) an ionic liquid including an anion represented by the following general formula (1): wherein R 1 and R 2 independently denote: a hydrogen atom, a protected or nonprotected hydroxyl group, a protected or nonprotected amino group, an alkoxy group, a nitro group, a cyano group, a carboxyl group, a halogen atom, a linear, branched, cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 20 alkyl group, a linear, branched, cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted C 2 to C 20 alkenyl group, a linear, branched, cyclic or acyclic, substituted or unsubstituted C 2 to C 20 alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 6 to C 20 aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 4 to C 20 heteroaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 7 to C 20 aralkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C 4 to C 20 heteroaralkyl group; the R 1 and R 2 being identical to or different from each other, together being cyclic or acyclic; at least one of the R 1 and R 2 is a protected or nonprotected hydroxyl group; and (i) the ionic liquid including a formate anion and/or (ii) the ionic liquid including an anion represented by the general formula (1) being included by an amount of not less than 0.01 molar equivalent but not more than 0.5 molar equivalent, with respect to the monomer component of a conductive polymer.
