Abstract:The redox-active properties of a series of ferrocene-containing
vinyl polymers were investigated in aqueous and organic media. Each
metallopolymer contained vinylferrocene (VFc) and a non-redox-active
species (X), and was combined with carbon nanotubes (CNT) to generate
P(VFc

)–CNT composites for heterogeneous electrochemical
analysis. Tunable pseudocapacitances spanning ca. 0.03–280
F/g VFc in aqueous solution were achieved by varying the copolymer
composition, with P(VFc0.11-co-HEMA0.89) producing… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
