Application of PEDOT layers for the electrogravimetric detection of sulphate and phosphate in aqueous media

Electrochemical lithiation of thin silicon based layers potentiostatically deposited from ionic liquid

“…Technical details for the setup of electrochemically coupled QCM can be found in Ref. [41]. Cu thin film electrodes (200 nm) on a Cr adhesion layer (5 nm) were thermally evaporated onto the bare quartz crystal resonators (Vectron International).…”

Electrochemically induced free solvent transfer in thin poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) films

“…In water solution (Figure 4a), PEDOT film generated in acetonitrile preserves the capacitor-like shape, and displays not well defined redox peaks with a formal potential around 0 V [14,47]. However, the electrogravimetric response proves different.…”

“…Free solvent stored by films lubricates the intermolecular movement acting as a plasticizer. On the contrary, film dehydration leads to stiffness of material [14,15] or increase of conductivity [16].…”

Microgravimetric and Spectroscopic Analysis of Solid−Electrolyte Interphase Formation in Presence of Additives

“…EQCM offers an accurate detection of small mass changes on the surface of quartz piezoelectric resonator used as a working electrode. The method has a substantial impact on in‐situ analysis of the viscoelastic properties and roughness of conductive polymers and electrodeposited silicon layers . EQCM is used to characterize the electrochemical cathodic passivation of noble metal coated resonators in a number of Li + containing organic electrolytes, including LiClO 4 /propylene carbonate (PC), LiAsF 6 /PC, and LiClO 4 /ethylene carbonate:dimethyl carbonate (EC:DMC) ,.…”
