Thermo-Electro-Responsive Redox-Copolymers for Amplified Solvation, Morphological Control, and Tunable Ion Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Electro-responsive metallopolymers can possess highly specific and tunable ion interactions, and have been explored extensively as electrode materials for ion-selective separations. However, there remains a limited understanding of the role of solvation and polymer-solvent interactions in ion binding and selectivity. The elucidation of ion-solvent-polymer interactions, in combination with the rational design of tailored copolymers, can lead to new pathways for modulating ion selectivity and morphology. Here, we present thermo-electrochemical-responsive copolymer electrodes of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and ferrocenylpropyl methacrylamide (FPMAm) with tunable polymer-solvent interactions through copolymer ratio, temperature, and electrochemical potential. As compared to the homopo
