Patent ID: 7578859

Claim:
A method for making a polymer based charge storage device comprising the steps of: (a) electrochemically depositing a thin film of a PEDOT polymer on a first electrode to form a cathode for said polymer based charge storage device and a thin film of PProDOT polymer on a second electrode to form an anode for said polymer based charge storage device; (b) oxidizing said PProDOT polymer at a voltage of about +0.5 volts; (c) neutralizing said PEDOT polymer at a voltage of about −0.5 volts; (d) rinsing said PEDOT polymer and said PProDOT polymer with a monomer free propylene carbonate (PC)-based electrolyte solution; (e) blotting said PEDOT polymer and said PProDOT polymer with a lint free paper; (f) coating said PEDOT Polymer with an electrolyte gel to form a first electrolyte gel layer within said polymer based charge storage device; (g) coating said PEDOT Polymer with said electrolyte gel to form a second electrolyte gel layer within said polymer based charge storage device; and (h) separating said anode from said cathode within said polymer based charge storage device by placing a battery paper between said first electrolyte gel layer and said second electrolyte gel layer.
