Use of polymeric ionic liquids as stabilizers in the synthesis of polypyrrole organic dispersions

Plastic–polymer composite electrolytes for solid state dye-sensitized solar cells

“…Recently, plastic-polymer or ionic liquid-polymer composite electrolytes are actively developed for rechargeable lithium batteries [13][14][15][16] and electrochromic devices [17,18] by incorporating small molecules of plastic crystal electrolytes or ionic liquids into the matrixes of ionic conducting polymers and polymeric ionic liquids so as to form soft solid state electrolyte membranes. These composite electrolytes should be adaptable for solid state DSSCs because of their combined advantages of mechanical stability of polymers and high ionic conductivity of plastic crystal or ionic liquid electrolyte.…”

Organic solvent dispersion of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) with the use of polymeric ionic liquid

“…The PIL used in this study is poly(ViEtIm + Br − ), prepared according to the previous literature procedures 9, 10. The EDOT monomer and ammonium persulfate (APS) were purchased from H. C. Starck and Junsei Chemical.…”

“…Toward this goal, it was proposed that the polymeric derivatives of the imidazolium‐type ionic liquids, so‐called polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) may be used as a medium to prepare nonaqueous dispersion of conducting polymers. Marcilla et al have demonstrated that ICPs prepared in the presence of PILs such as poly(1‐vinyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium bromide) (poly(ViEtIm + Br − )) showed a range of dispersion in certain organic solvents, subsequently after the anion exchange reaction with lithium salts having hydrophobic anions 9, 10. However, no detailed study on the roles of PIL in the formation of nanostructured ICP dispersion in organic solvents has been carried out, and a significant gap exists in understanding the mechanism by which PIL affects the overall material properties.…”

PEDOT:Poly(1‐vinyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium) dispersions as alternative materials for optoelectronic devices

“…The synthesis was carried out according to the procedure reported before 12. EDOT (1.3 ml, 12.17 mmol) and poly(ViEtImBr) (1.36 g, 6.8 mmol) were dissolved in 100 mL of distilled water.…”
