Understanding Polymer Electrodeposition and Conducting Polymer Modified Electrodes Using Electrochemistry, Spectroscopy, and Scanning Probe Microscopy.

ABSTRACT: Conducting polymers are critically important materials in organic electronic platforms relevant to sustainability (organic photovoltaics and organic light-emitting diodes) and wearable electronics (organic electrochemical transistors). However, most chemistry students do not receive formal training in the fundamental properties and extensive characterization of these fascinating materials. Described here are four scaffolded learning modules adapted from the primary literature and designed to build the fundamental understanding and practical skills necessary for productive contribution to emerging research in the field of conducting polymers and conducting polymer modified electrodes (CPMEs). These activities were performed by first-year chemistry graduate students and have been used in the
