  • wettability of Conducting Polymers from superhydrophilicity to superoleophobicity
    Progress in Polymer Science, 2014
    Co-Authors: Thierry Darmanin, Frédéric Guittard
    Abstract:

    Abstract The review reports most of the works realized in the field of the surface wettability based on Conducting Polymers. The surface wettability is highly depending on the intrinsic hydrophobicity of materials and the roughness geometry. Conducting Polymers have unique properties allowing to tune the surface wettability, for example, by reversibly incorporating various hydrophobic/hydrophilic doping ions, by changing the nature of the polymerizable core or by functionalization with various hydrophobic/hydrophilic substituents. Conducting Polymers are obtained by monomer oxidation using various strategies such as the chemical oxidative polymerization in solution, the electrochemical polymerization on conductive substrates or the vapor-phase polymerization, leading to have an easy control of the surface morphology at micro- or a nanoscale with a surface wettability going from superhydrophilicity to superoleophobicity.

  • Conducting Polymers for pseudocapacitive energy storage
    Chemistry of Materials, 2016
    Co-Authors: Aimee M Bryan, Luciano M Santino, Yang Lu, Shinjita Acharya, Julio M Darcy
    Abstract:

    Developing energy storage devices to be utilized within a rapidly advancing energy market requires a multipronged approach whereby material synthesis and engineering fundamentals combine to enable technological advances. These devices should be able to store a large amount of energy in a small, lightweight package, and should be able to distribute that energy quickly for high rate applications. Pseudocapacitors made from Conducting Polymers, which store charge via rapid reduction and oxidation reactions, are a particularly promising candidate. This perspective explores conductivity and charge storage mechanisms in Conducting Polymers and describes how synthetic strategies can affect these properties. We further develop chemical correlations that have been shown to enhance the performance of pseudocapacitive electrochemical capacitors fabricated from Conducting Polymers. Important device engineering strategies for improving the lifetime and applicability of pseudocapacitors are also discussed.
