Nitrogen-Enriched Precursor Lowers Debromination Temperature for Solid-State Polymerization into High-Performance Lithium Storage Electrodes

Key Points

• This study aims to investigate how increasing pyridinic nitrogen in a precursor affects the debromination temperature and polymerization process.
• Enhanced nitrogen content in precursor materials.
• Measured debromination onset temperature.
• Conducted polymerization under mild conditions.
• Doubling pyridinic nitrogen atoms significantly lowers debromination onset temperature.
• Facilitates solid-state polymerization compared to previous methods.
• Creates a robust, nitrogen-rich π-conjugated network.
