Multistimuli-responsive materials based on a zinc(ii) complex with high-contrast and multicolor switching

“…Moreover, some redox peaks of TPE-NH 2 are close to that of complex 1 centered at −3.5, 1.7 and 3.5 V, so the irreversible redox peaks of 1 may be due to the conversion between TPE and 9,10-diphenylphenanthrene (DPP). 46,47 The electrochemical oxidation behavior with high contrast recommends complex 1 as a promising candidate for multifunctional optoelectronic applications.…”

“…However, the application of complexes to electrical stimulus-responsive materials has been rarely reported. [44][45][46] The electrochemical analysis by CV measurements were conducted in a three-electrode system, in order to probe the electrochemical behavior of complex 1. In the cyclic voltammogram, complex 1 shows irreversible peaks in the range of −4-4 V (Fig.…”

Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties of Donor–Acceptor-Conjugated Polymers Based on Carbazole-EDOT Derivatives with Different Electron-Withdrawing Groups

“…For carbon-based electrode materials, the non-faradic charge storage at the electrode–electrolyte interface exhibits lower specific capacitance (200 F/g) than pseudocapacitive materials such as metal oxides and CPs. − However, unlike metal oxides, owing to their structure generating a conjugation effect, conductive polymers store electrical energy through the redox reaction of conjugated π bonds. The charge storage in these polymers can be induced by reversible redox reactions taking place at the surface and bulk of the electrode. , As a result, compared with other materials, conductive polymers can be used as electrode materials for supercapacitors in future energy storage applications due to their stable electrochemical behaviors, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, mixed electron and ion conductivity, easy structure adjustment, and environmental friendliness. − …”

“…8,9 The chemical stability and intermolecular S-S interaction of thiophene [2,3-b]thiophene enhanced the electrical conductivity, providing a better potential for this class of conducting polymers. 10 Moreover, the good electron delocalization in this structure makes it an important scaffold for organic electronic applications. In addition, the π-π stacking formed by such polymers enables the polymer thin film to have a tighter π-π interaction, which also exhibits excellent performance in thin-film transistors with better charge mobility.…”
