Abstract: | Spontaneous charging/discharging processes of polymers: polypyrrole and poly(N-methylpyrrole), doped with perchlorate (anion exchanging PPy and PMPy, respectively) and poly(4-styrenesulphonate) ions (cation exchanging PPy(PSS) and PMPy(PSS)) occurring in aqueous electrolyte solutions were studied using different electrochemical techniques. These reactions (oxidation of the polymer by dissolved oxygen and discharge of the polymer redox capacitance) are usually undesired processes leading to alteration of the charge accumulated in the polymer films. This paper points out that these processes can be significantly limited in polymer bilayers due to effect of charge trapping. |
