The above schematic illustrates a conjugated polymer film in an electrochemical cell. The film is imbibed with a variety of charged species – both electronic and ionic. The increasing applied potential (shown as a voltage dial) triggers a redox process that changes the charge density in the polymer. The authors investigate the changes occurring in the polymer throughout the redox process using sophisticated optical technique involving two lasers – one that is a single energy to excite the sample (green

Research Sheds Light on the Underlying Operating Mechanism of Polymer-based Electrochemical Cells

Chemists and materials scientists team up to investigate the nature of electrochemically induced charges in redox-active conjugated polymers.
