Abstract

UV-vis spectra of P(ProDOT-EO-ester) in THF in the presence of different cations.

A new sensitizer containing dihexyloxy-substituted triphenylamine as donor and a binary conjugated spacer for dye-sensitized solar cells

“…Moreover, the oxidation peaks registered in DMF solution due to the formation of radical cations and dications are positively shifted compared to DCM solution, at E ox1 = 0.77V and E ox2 = 1.19V, respectively. The positive shift of the anodic peak is associated with a distortion of the π-conjugated system, and is usually accompanied by a blue shift of the UV-Vis absorption maximum 38 .…”

The chromic and electrochemical response of CoCl2 − filled polyimide materials for sensing applications

“…An important shift of this peak to lower potential value compared to the unmodified PI film was registered, bringing an strong evidence for the influence of the filler on the electrochemical behaviour of PI [53]. In addition, a redox couple at E pa1 = 0.13 V and E pc1 = −0.51 V was noticed.…”

The Effect of Oligo(Ethylene Oxide) Side Chains: A Strategy to Improve Contrast and Switching Speed in Electrochromic Polymers

“…Moreover, polyether‐based electrolytes show high ionic conductivities . The introduction of highly polar chains in conjugated polythiophene derivatives can effectively enhance the ionic sensitivity . Many attempts have been paid on polythiophene, and 3,4‐alkylenedioxythiophene (XDOT)‐based ECPs .…”

“…[23][24][25][26][27] The introduction of highly polar chains in conjugated polythiophene derivatives can effectively enhance the ionic sensitivity. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Many attempts have been paid on polythiophene, [31][32][33][34][35] and 3,4-alkylenedioxythiophene (XDOT)based ECPs. [29,36] For example, Giovannitti et al modified the thiophene backbone with glycolated chains that can facilitate ion penetration in electrolyte-gated transistors.…”
