In nonaqueous solvents, water-based reference electrodes,

Redox Controlled Partition and Spatial Distribution of Solvent and Salt in Electroactive Polyvinylferrocene Films

“…These characteristics are also of value in many applications, as illustrated by the use of PVF-modified electrodes for mediated charge transfer to cytochrome c and ascorbate, photoreduction of chlorinated hydrocarbons, and corrosion protection of n-Si, − n-Ge, n-GaAs, and Ni . PVF-modified electrodes have also been used as electrocatalytic surfaces for the reduction of anthracene and the oxidation of ascorbic acid, have been evaluated for use as electrode materials for secondary lithium batteries and electrochemical diodes, and, as the cross-linked triallylmellitate derivative, have been shown to behave as stable reference electrodes in nonaqueous electrolytes …”

Study of Ionic Liquid Immobilization on Polyvinyl Ferrocene Substrates for Gas Sensor Arrays

“…By regulating the doping level, a conductivity between that of the undoped (insulating or semiconducting) and that of the fully doped (metallic) form of the polymer can be easily generated. CPs have been studied extensively as sensing materials for chemical sensors and sensor arrays because of the wide range of structural forms that can be synthesized and the ease by which changes can be made in the structure mechanically. − The adsorption of gas analytes at conductive polymers includes many nonbonding intermolecular interactions such as dipole−dipole, van der Waals, hydrogen bonding, and π−π complexes. These interactions can provide the chemical selectivity that is determined by the structure and properties of the conductive polymer and the analyte.…”

Four different polyvinyl ferrocene (PVF) films synthesized by varying the conditioning potential (0.7 vs 0.0 V) and the electrolyte are tested for their gas-sensing properties (e.g., sensitivity, selectivity, response time, linearity, and dynamic range against various gas analytes such as dichloromethane, ethanol, natural gas, methane, formaldehyde (37%), and benzene) utilizing the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and ATR-FT-IR.…”

Responses of Poly(vinylferrocene) Film Redox-Driven Exchange Process to Codeposited and Ambient Anions

“…PVF films have also been utilized as components in secondary lithium batteries (8) and reference electrodes for nonaqueous electrolytes (9). These same characteristics also make PVF an ideal choice for model studies of polymer modified electrodes (10)(11).…”
