Electronic and Ionic Transport in Processable Conducting Polymers
Abstract
This is the Final Report for this grant and includes major results along with publications. Some results noted include preparation and study of a low band-gap transparent conducting polymer, poly(1,4-bis(2-heteroaryl)-p- phenylenes), electroactive transition metal containing polymers and conducting polymer composites. In addition, many studies dealing with ion transport upon redox switching of these electroactive polymers have been carried out and new probes to monitor these ion fluxes have been developed. A highly efficient polypyrrole platinum nano-composite, with useful catalytic properties has also been developed. Accurate theoretical and computational techniques, along with a modified Extended Huckel band structure procedure, have been developed....
