Fig. 3. Optical and thermal interrogation of the topochemical polymerization of AQMs and capacitive energy storage properties of polymer P3.

Fig. 3

a UV-Vis scanning kinetic curves of a film of 1 (gold) as it polymerizes to form P1 (ruby) over the course of roughly eight hours. b and c DSC studies of monomer 3 and the in-situ thermally polymerized P3. b the first heating (gold), and the subsequent cycle (ruby) of 3 as it polymerizes to P3. c multiple heating and cooling cycles (ruby = first four cycles, blue = final cycle) of P3. d Comparative electric displacement-electric field (D-E) loops at 200 MV m–1 showing the effective K values derived therefrom. e discharged energy density plots as a function of the electric field, showing the superior energy storage properties of P3 against parylene-C and BOPP (BOPP = biaxially oriented polypropylene; error bars represent standard deviations obtained from at least three measurements using different samples).
