The chargetransfer (CT) complex based on protopine with electron acceptor iodine has been synthesized. The conductivity increases by several orders of magnitude and the activation energy decreases on formation of CT complex. Solidstate battery of configuration Zn protopineI2 / graphite has been developed using the CT complex as the cathodic material. The opencircuit voltage af the cell increases with the increase in temperature. The high opencircuit voltage and battery parameters indicate that the CT complex of natural occurring protopine can be used in fabrication of selidstate batteries.
