Chemical Modifications for the Development of Conducting Polymer-Based Supercapacitors
摘要
Conjugated double bonds generated during chemical or electrochemical oxidation of the monomer are the building blocks of conducting polymers [1]. Dopant or counterions’ insertion in the polymer backbone occurs as a result of oxidation at both the monomer and polymer levels; for example, chloride is inserted when iron chloride is used as an oxidant.
