Abstract:
1. An electrochemical capacitor comprising: at least one electrode comprising a conducting substrate and a layer of a redox polymer of the poly-[Me(R-Salen)) type deposited onto the conducting substrate, wherein Me is a transition metal, R is an electron-donating substituent, and Salen is a residue of bis(salicylaldehyde-ethylenediamine in Schiffs base; and an electrolyte comprising an organic solvent, compounds capable of dissolving in the organic solvent at a resulting concentration of no less than 0.01 mol/l and dissociating with the formation of ions that are electrochemically inactive within a range of potentials from about −3.0 V to about +1.5 V, and a dissolved metal complex [Me(R-Salen)] at a concentration from no less than 5×10
