Summary:This paper describes a solid paper rechargeable battery using an electrolytically polymerized polyaniline film as the electrode and nonaqueous electrolyte gel with high ionic conductivity as the solid polymer electrolyte. A high‐strength fibril polyaniline film with a tensile strength of 5 kgf/cm2 was formed by electrolytic polymerization in tetrafluoro‐boric acid. It was found that the film had an excellent oxidation‐reduction characteristic in the solid polymer electrolyte. In addition, by bridging a highly concentrated nonaqueous electrolyte in monomer, the ionic conductivity of the solid polymer electrolyte was comparable with that of liquid electrolyte. Since the solid polymer electrolyte was fabricated using a solution with low viscosity, a solid paper lithium rechargeable battery with a highly efficient discharging property was realized by combining a polyaniline film.
