Due to potential industrial applications, important studies (see Section 2.13.9) have been made on polyselenophenes and similar compounds which can be prepared by electrochemical polymerisation <83Mi 213-08). Electrochemical study (cyclic voltametry and chronoamperometry-coulometry) shows that poly(3-methylselenophene) is a very good electrode material <88SM77). 

IR spectra of the RC in this cell were recorded on a Bruker IFS 25 FTIR spectrophotometer equipped with a MCT detector selected for high sensitivity. The optical setup was modified to provide a second measuring beam in the 350-1100 nm range at the IR sample focus for the control of the RC redox state. All spectra were recorded at 8 C. Electrochemical measurements (chronoamperometry, coulometry), as well as optical and IR spectrosopy were all controlled from software developed in our laboratory. 

Electrochromic materials (either as an electroactive surface film or an electroactive solute) are generally first studied at a single working electrode, under potentiostatic or galvanostatic control, using three-electrode circuitry.1 Traditional electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltametry (CV), coulometry, and chronoamperometry, all partnered by in situ spectroscopic measurements... 

For their characterization, electrochromic compounds are initially tested at a single working electrode under potentiostatic control using a three-electrode arrangement. Traditional characterization techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, coulometry, chronoamperometry, all with in situ spectroscopic measurements, are applied to monitor important properties [27]. From these results, promising candidates are selected and then incorporated into the respective device. 

Many of the electroanalytical techniques that are routinely employed in conventional solvents, such as, chronoamperometry, chronocoulometry, chronopotentiometry, coulometry, cyclic (stationary electrode) voltammetry, rotating electrode voltammetry, and pulse voltammetry, have also been applied to molten salts. Some of these techniques are discussed next with special attention to their employment in molten salts. References to noteworthy examples appearing in the literature are included. Background information about these techniques is available elsewhere in this book. 

The first group consists of conventional electroanalytical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, coulometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), all of which provide general information about the doping process (see also Chapters 4 and 5). Below are listed some typical questions that can be answered using the above group of techniques ... 

It is our belief that a full and detailed understanding of the electron-transfer properties of organometallic complexes can be achieved only by a combination of chemical and electrochemical studies the use of one alone can lead to erroneous conclusions. Because we have insufficient space to provide a discussion of the theory and practice of elementary electrochemical techniques we refer the reader to several excellent treatments which also include an explanation of commonly used terminology (25-30). The synthetic chemist should not be deterred from routinely using techniques such as cyclic voltametry (CV),1 voltametry at rotating metal disk electrodes, or controlled potential electrolysis (CPE), coulometry, and chronoamperometry. The proper employment of such techniques, for which instrumentation is readily available, should prove sufficient for all but the most detailed studies. 

Since the usual transmission experiment directly monitors the electrolytic product, it offers many of the diagnostic features of reversal chronoamperometry or reversal chrono-coulometry. In effect, is a continuous index of the total amount of the monitored species still remaining in solution at the time of observation. Equation 17.1.2 describes the limiting case in which the product is completely stable. If homogeneous chemistry tends to deplete the concentration of R, different absorbance-time relations will be seen. They can be predicted (e.g., by digital simulations see Appendix B), and curves for many mechanistic cases have been reported (17).

In cases where electrolysis of the solution bulk is not desired (as in voltammetry or chronoamperometry), the working electrode area is kept reasonably small (nominal dimensions of square millimeters). Such an electrode is termed a microelectrode. On the other hand, in electrolysis procedures (as in thin-layer cells or coulometry), the ratio of electrode area to solution volume (A/V) must be maximized. Large-area working electrodes [grids or porous electrodes such as reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC)j are used in such cases.
