“…Scientists have carried out research on the synthesis and applications of diamond for decades due to its well‐known chemical and physical properties; like hardness, chemical inertness, and low friction coefficient 1, 2. Due to these properties, diamond finds use in many high technology applications ranging from electrical3 to biomedical 4. They are useful materials for MMEs,5 inkjets for corrosive liquids,6 and as a stable platform for chemical and DNA sensing 7.…”

ABSTRACT:The polycarbynes are polymeric precursors that can be used in the synthesis of both diamond films and powders. They are soluble in common organic solvents; therefore, they can be coated on any surface in various thicknesses and then converted to diamond via sintering. Polycarbynes can be synthesized in a simple undivided electrochemical cell so their synthesis are both cheap and easy. Here, we report the electrochemical synthesis of poly(methylcarbyne). The poly(methylcarbyne) was characterized using UV/visible spectroscopy, Gel Permeation Chromatography and ATR FTIR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR spectroscopies. The polymer was converted to diamond via sintering and characterized by Optical microscopy and Raman and X-ray spectroscopies.

“…These concerns prompted the search for alternate routes to process CPs with greater efficacy. Precursor polymers have been used in the past;2–4 we have developed a precursor polymer method wherein a soluble precursor may be cast, patterned, or otherwise processed and subsequently converted to its conjugated, electrochromic form. CP networks have been formed from precursors by chemical5 and electrochemical6 methods of oxidation.…”

Processability remains a fundamental issue for the implementation of conducting polymer technology. A simple synthetic route towards processable precursors to conducting polymers (main chain and side chain) was developed using commercially available materials. These soluble precursor systems were converted to conjugated polymers electrochemically in aqueous media, offering a cheaper and greener method of processing. Oxidative conversion in aqueous and organic media each produced equivalent electrochromics. The precursor method enhances the yield of the electrochromic polymer obtained over that of electrodeposition, and it relies on a less corruptible electrolyte bath. However, electrochemical conversion of the precursor polymers often relies on organic salts and solvents. The ability to achieve oxidative conversion in brine offers a less costly and a more environmentally friendly processing step. It is also beneficial for biological applications. The electrochromics obtained herein were evaluated for electronic, spectral, and morphological properties.

Soluble precursor polymers are processed and assembled into solid‐state devices and subsequently converted in the devices to conjugated electrochromic materials. This method, termed in situ conversion, requires no rigorous cleaning step for the electrode substrate. It eliminates the use of a costly electrolyte bath during the assembly process. This methodology results in high yields for the resultant conjugated system.
