Molecular Snippets Outperform Their Polymer Parents

Scientists are finding that short, precisely-defined molecular chains called aniline oligomers offer superior performance over their well-known polymer counterpart, polyaniline. This precision allows for molecular engineering that has led to a major breakthrough: supercapacitors with a cycle life five times longer than those made with the traditional polymer.
