Charge transport containers

Transport numbers are intended to measure the fraction of the total ionic current carried by an ion in an electrolyte as it migrates under the influence of an applied electric field. In essence, transport numbers are an indication of the relative ability of an ion to carry charge. The classical way to measure transport numbers is to pass a current between two electrodes contained in separate compartments of a two-compartment cell These two compartments are separated by a barrier that only allows the passage of ions. After a known amount of charge has passed, the composition and/or mass of the electrolytes in the two compartments are analyzed. Erom these data the fraction of the charge transported by the cation and the anion can be calculated. Transport numbers obtained by this method are measured with respect to an external reference point (i.e., the separator), and, therefore, are often referred to as external transport numbers. Two variations of the above method, the Moving Boundary method [66] and the Eiittorff method [66-69], have been used to measure cation (tR+) and anion (tx ) transport numbers in ionic liquids, and these data are listed in Table 3.6-7.

It is obvious, and verified by experiment [73], that above a critical trap concentration the mobility increases with concentration. This is due to the onset of intertrap transfer that alleviates thermal detrapping of a carrier as a necessary step for charge transport. The simulation results presented in Figure 12-22 are in accord with this notion. The data for p(c) at ,=0.195 eV, i.e. EJa—T), pass through a minimum at a trap concentration c—10. Location of the minimum on a concentration scale depends, of course, on , since the competition between thermal detrapping and inter-trap transport scales exponentially with ,. The field dependence of the mobility in a trap containing system characterized by an effective width aeff is similar to that of a trap-free system with the same width of the DOS. 

Secondly, we describe the site-selective introduction of a functional molecule, tetrakis-5,10,15,20-(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP), into the microphase separation structure of a diblock copolymer film of PS-fo-P4VP. Since porphyrin derivatives show various functionalities such as sensitization, redox activity, and nonlinear optical effect, a polymer nanodot array containing a porphyrin at a high concentration would be applicable to a light-harvesing and charge transporting nanochannel.
