Abstract

Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance studies on poly(pyrrole) electrodes revealed a complex nature of the potential-dependent sorption of ionic substances. It is found that the relative contribution of anions and cations to the overall charge transport process depends upon several factors, such as the oxidation state of the polymer, the composition of the supporting electrolyte as well as on the film thickness. The phenomena observed are discussed in terms of morphological transformations arising as a result of interactions between the polymer and the mobile substances.
