Electrochemistry of Bilayer Lipid Membranes
Abstract
The main objective will be to understand the mechanism of charge generation, separation and transport in electron-conducting bilayer lipid membranes in which one side of the membrane is a cathode and the other is an anode. Our approach may be thought of as a unique way to investigate the diode effect of a molecular junction free from the usual bulk solid effects. Currently available conducting polymers and a variety of novel compounds to be synthesized will be incorporated into these ultrathin lipid films for study. The electrical and photoelectrical properties of these ultrathin films separating two aqueous solutions will be investigated by but not limited to, photoelectrospectrometry and cyclic voltammetry recently developed and applied by our laboratory to membrane and ultrathin film research.
