Halogenation of para-aminophenol and polymerization of the halogenation product results in electro-conductive redox polymer. For example, the para-aminophenol is chlorinated or brominated in an acidic solution, and the halogenation product is polymerized upon increasing the pH and upon oxidation. The halogenation product can be polymerized during electro-deposition of a thin film upon an anode current collector from an electrolyte solution to produce a sensor electrode, and the halogenation product can be mixed with electro-conductive carbon material to produce electrode-active material for storage battery electrodes. For example, the sensor electrode has an electrochemical reduction potential and a charge-discharge cycle period inversely proportional to pH, and the storage battery electrodes are positive electrodes in a storage battery having zinc negative electrodes in a zinc salt electrolyte solution.
