Abstract

Polypyrrole coated gold wires were subjected to consecutive square current waves in LiClO4 aqueous solutions using the same constant anodic and cathodic charge. Parallel in situ diameter variations were followed using a laser scan micrometer. The procedure was repeated by changing one experimental variable every time: applied current, electrolyte concentration or working temperature to perform electrochemodynamical characterization of the system. On average, the diameter follows a linear variation of the consumed charge, as expected for any faradaic system, although a high dispersion was attained in the data. Such deviations were attributed to the presence of irreversible hydrogen evolution at the gold/polypyrrole interface at cathodic potentials more than 0.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl, detected and quantified from separated coulovoltammetric responses. Despite this parallel hydrogen evolution the consumed energy during reactions is a robust sensor of the working conditions. In conclusion a gold support, the metal most used for technological applications of conducting polymers, should be avoided when a device is driven by current flow in the presence of aqueous solutions, water contamination or moisture: a fraction of the charge will be consumed by hydrogen generation with possible degradation of the device.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 January 2016.
All research outputs
#14,278,028
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions
#5,133
of 17,005 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#187,479
of 399,679 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions
#301
of 988 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 17,005 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 399,679 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 988 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
