DOI: 10.1016/j.electacta.2018.07.051
Abstract: Abstract Electronic structures of conducting polymers could change in the presence of other conjugated materials. Poly(N-methylthionine) (PNMTh) has a lower conductivity and a slower polymerization rate at conventional electrodes as compared to polyaniline. Here, we… read more here.
