A study published on redox-conducting polymer with TEMPO

A detailed study of a redox-conducting polymer based on a combination of a salen-type polymer complex and a TEMPO redox-active group has been published in Macromolecular Rapid Communications. The work highlights the importance of tailoring the properties of both redox-conducting components to facilitate charge transfer within the material to maximise its useful characteristics, particularly with regard to applications in energy storage devices. In addition to the study of the material itself, the work continues to demonstrate the suitability of various techniques—from EPR spectroscopy to in situ conductivity measurements and UV-Vis spectroelectrochemistry—to provide more detailed information about the materials than is available with classical electrochemical methods. The wide range of techniques used to fully characterise the materials was made available through the collaboration of several groups both at SPbSU and ITMO in Russia and at the Free University of Berlin in Germany.
