The monotonic increase of immobilized material vith the number of deposition cycles in the LbL technique is vhat allo vs control over film thickness on the nanometric scale. Eilm growth in LbL has been very well characterized by several complementary experimental techniques such as UV-visible spectroscopy [66, 67], quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) [68-70], X-ray [63] and neutron reflectometry [3], Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ETIR) [71], ellipsometry [68-70], cyclic voltammetry (CV) [67, 72], electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) [73], -potential [74] and so on. The complement of these techniques can be appreciated, for example, in the integrated charge in cyclic voltammetry experiments or the redox capacitance in EIS for redox PEMs The charge or redox capacitance is not necessarily that expected for the complete oxidation/reduction of all the redox-active groups that can be estimated by other techniques because of the experimental timescale and charge-transport limitations.

In this chapter the synthetic aspects of the earlier mentioned [M(bipy)2 (PVPjnCl]" polymers (where M = Os,Ru) are discussed. The main part of the chapter is devoted to the effect of electrolyte and polymer loading on the electrochemistry observed at electrodes modified with these materials. Interaction between the polymer layer and the electrolyte is investigated using electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, potential step methods, and the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance. Attention is also paid to mediation reactions using such modified electrodes. Finally, the implications of these observations for analytical applications of these materials are discussed.

Prior to the elecfrodeposition the substrates were electrochemically activated by a cathodic potential sweep in [BMP] [TFSI] containing SiCl4. As a final step Si was electrodeposited potentiostatically at different potentials for l-5h. The process of Li ion insertion/deinsertion in the Si structure was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (Figure 5.3.2), chronopotentiomenfry, and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance in [BMP] [TFSI] ionic liquid containing Li ions. The surface morphology and composition of the Si deposit were investigated by SEM and EDX analysis.

The purpose of the present book is to satisfy this need. The book starts by covering the basic subjects of interfacial electrochemistry. This is followed by a description of some of the most important techniques (such as cyclic voltammetry, the rotating disc electrode, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the electrochemical quartz-crystal microbalance). Finally, there is a rather detailed discussion of electroplating (including alloy deposition), corrosion, and electrochemical energy conversion devices (batteries, fuel cells and super-capacitors).
