Poly(2, 2'-Dithiodianiline)(Poly(DTDA)), a conducting polymer having disulfide bond in it, has been proposed as a new class of high energy storage material. DTDA has one S-S bond interconnected between two moieties of anilines. The structure of the poly(DTDA) was similar to that of polyaniline in addition that the S-S bond is preserved after electropolymerization of DTDA. The poly(DTDA) has some advantages because of its high theoretical energy density, faster kinetics and higher electrical conductivity than other organosulfur cathodes
