Improvement of the electrochemical properties via poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) oriented micro/nanorods

Structural investigation of ormolytes for EC devices: IR spectroscopic characterization and relation between viscoelastic properties, conductivity and optical modulation

“…The electrolyte with a lower amount of co-solvent (molar ratio in PEOCS:EO 12 MIm þ OMs À :LiTFSI:g-AcOH¼1:5:0.5:6) showed very good adhesion for glass slides, electronically conductive glass (FTO) and plastic (ITO PET) substrates, as well for different optically active and counter electrode films, such as e.g. poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) electrochromic films [46] when applied 4 h after initiation of solvolysis/condensation reactions. The electrolyte was transparent when applied between two glasses and also remained transparent after thermal treatment at 80°C.…”

Electrodeposition of Polypyrrole Nanowires within Vertically Oriented Mesoporous Silica Template

“…Silica template with vertically aligned pores to the electrode surface has many advantages in terms of conductivity and modification of pores. Prussian blue 5) and polythiophene 6) depositions into the silica template have been recently reported. This study demonstrates Ppy nanowires embedded in the vertically oriented mesoporous silica template.…”

Electrochemical Preparation of a Nanostructured Poly(amino napthalene sulfonic acid) Electrode Using CTAB as a Soft Template and Its Electrocatalytic Application for the Reduction of Iodate

“…Moreover, nCPs retain the properties of bulk CPs and have the characteristics of nanomaterials (e.g., large surface area, and quantum effect); these features further enhance the merit of CPs for the above applications [3]. Several methods have been developed to synthesize nCPs, including chemical oxidative polymerization [4], template based electrochemical synthesis via hard templates [5] and soft templates [6]. Although the hard template method allows the synthesis of nCPs, there exist drawbacks for obtaining pure nCPs, because the hard template materials have to be removed after synthesis, which often affects the properties of the nCPs.…”

“…Very recently, Li et al [13] synthesized poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) micro/nanorods using CTAB as a soft template by electrochemical method. Raoof et al [14] electrochemically prepared poly(m-toluidine)/NiO electrode using CTAB as soft template and observed enhanced electrocatalytic efficiency for methanol oxidation over poly(m-toluidine)/NiO electrode.…”
