Methods for enhancing diffusion processes in polymer

10 Methods for enhancing diffusion processes in polymer electrodes 

During synthesis, the anions (e.g. CIO4 ) are not the sole diffusing species cations (e.g. Li ) may also enter the polymer film (see scheme in Fig. 9.15(a)). 

Since the kinetics of the doping processes is expected to depend upon the nature of the counterion, particularly its size (which may influence the mobility throughout the polymer host), it is possible to control the diffusion kinetics by selecting the nature of the supporting electrolyte employed in the electrodeposition process.
