Conductors mixed organic/inorganic

These are presented by two subclasses of electroactive polymer (i) -conjugated polymers of both organic and inorganic nature [5-15] and (ii) conventional redox polymers [26], and by inorganic ion-insertion (intercalation) compounds [27, 28[ (see the top of Scheme 11.1b). Despite the different nature of their chemical bonds, all of these compounds are mixed, electronic-ionic conductors [29], and hence, their electronic and/or ionic conductivity is expected to change with the applied potential in a predictable, characteristic manner (see Section cl 1.4). 

The second part treats the chemistry, structures and electrical properties of typical materials, from hydrogen bronzes to polymers via ice, hydroxides, acid sulphates, layer hydrates, inorganic ion exchangers, gels, porous media and mixed inorganic-organic polymers. These materials are compared with liquid and molten salt conductors, intercalated graphites and metal hydrides and have been chosen in order to illustrate the different behaviour of the proton it has electron-like properties in some oxides and hydrides, ion-like behaviour in some other oxides or liquid-state behaviour such as encountered in solution covered particles or pores of a gel.
