Inside Back Cover: Conductive Polymer Nanosheets Generated from the Crystal Surface of an Organic Oxidant (ChemPlusChem 2/2017)

Abstract

The cover picture shows conductive polypyrrole nanosheets generated by diffusion of monomer vapor on the surface of an organic oxidant crystal. The oxidant crystal plays multiple roles: it provides the reaction field and supplies the oxidative agent, serves as the template for hierarchical morphology, and furnishes the dopant source. The resultant nanosheets showed good conductivity without further doping, and enhanced electrochemical properties as an active material for redox capacitors. Details are given in the Communication by K. Sato, Y. Oaki et al. on page 225 in Issue 2, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201600452).
