Abstract
Thin film solid state batteries and electrochromic devices are prepared in which one of the electrodes is an electronic organic polymeric material. The counter electrode is an alkali metal ion acceptor and releaser in an appropriate electrolyte containing an alkali metal salt. The counter electrode can also be a non-alkali metal with its salt in the electrolyte. The organic polymer can also be replaced by sulfides, oxides, or selenides. The devices operate at ambient temperatures. The batteries can also be combined with photovoltaic devices to form a single unit which can store solar energy.
