The present invention relates to a method for producing a
polymer/conductive carbon composite electrode comprising dehydration
condensation polymerization of a tetramine derivative and a tetracarbonyl
compound in the presence of an electrically conductive carbon material.
The synthetized polymer comprises quinoxaline structural units such as
polyphenyl quinoxaline (PPQ) and serves as an active material having
proton conductivity. The composite material for electrode obtained by the
method has a large capacity of inserting/releasing a proton and excellent
in durability. An electrode comprising the composite material and a
secondary battery comprising the electrode is excellent in safety and
reliability high-speed current characteristics, has a longer life and a
larger gravimetric energy density (Wh/kg).
