Doping and Undoping of OH[sup −] during Redox Processes of Poly(vinyl ferrocene)

Year: 2005

Type: article

Abstract: Poly(vinyl ferrocene) (PVF) electro-oxidation proceeds via coupled oxidation of uncharged ferrocene sites and entry of counterions and solvent into the film. Studies of PVF in the literature often neglect the doping in salt solutions due to its relatively low concentration compared to other major counterions. In this report, the role of ion in the redox processes of PVF in solutions was studied by monitoring the dynamic changes of the pH near the PVF-modified electrode surface. Our study demonstrated that the ions share an important portion in the counterion doping/undoping processes in neutral solution. © 2005 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
