Electrode and battery using same

A battery containing an electrode comprising an oligomer or polymer compound acting as an electrode active material and represented by a general formula (1) having a diazine N,N′-dioxide structure (“n”, “m”, “n′” and “m′” independently designate an integer not less than zero, and n+m+n′+m′≧2);

• condensation order of diazine rings and benzene rings may be alternate or random;
• whose part of structure unit or whole structure unit is comprised of bivalent diazine N,N′-dioxide group in which two substituents selected from R1, R2, R3, R4, Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are bivalent groups having two bonding electrons, and the remaining substituents R1, R2, R3, R4, Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd independently designate a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a nitro group, a nitroso group, a cyano group, a carboxyl group, a substituted or non-substituted alkyl group, a substituted or non-substituted alkenyl group, a substituted or non-substituted cycloalkyl group, a substituted or non-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon group, a substituted or non-substituted aromatic heterocyclic group, a substituted or non-substituted aralkyl group, a substituted or non-substituted amino group, a substituted or non-substituted alkoxy group, a substituted or non-substituted aryloxy group, a substituted or non-substituted aryloxycarbonyl group or a substituted or non-substituted acyl group:
• when “n” is 2 or more, Ra and Rb may be the same as or different from each other;
• when “n′” is 2 or more. Rc and Rd may be the same as or different from each other;
• one or more atoms of these substituents may be replaced with a sulfur atom, a silicon atom, a phosphorous atom or a boron atom;
• and a ring may be formed using the substituents
