Morphological and impedance studies on electropolymerized 3,4-(2,2-dibenzylpropylenedioxy)thiophene nanostructures on micron sized single carbon fiber
2010, Progress in Organic CoatingsCitation Excerpt :Activated carbon is often used as electrode material due to a controlled distribution of pores determining the electrode/electrolyte interface for electrochemical applications [5]. The interfacial interaction between carbon surface and polymer coating layer is crucial for the controlled design of the morphology of the growing layer [6]. The capacitance of conjugated polymers may substantially be described as redox (pseudo) capacitance associated with Faradaic redox processes and coupled with a double layer capacitance.
