Inherently conducting polymers (ICPs) have applications in a wide range of electrochemical devices including actuators, for artificial muscles, and photovoltaic cells for harnessing solar energy. Use of an ionic liquid as the electrolyte within these devices greatly increases the stability and cyclability of the ICP. Our preliminary work shows that an ionic liquid solvent in the synthesis of ICPs results in materials with dramatically different morphologies and improved electronic properties. Ionic liquids will be used to prepare ICPs with enhanced electrical and mechanical properties and prototype photovoltaic and actuator devices will be developed based on these new materials.

本征导电聚合物(ICP)在许多电化学设备中都有应用，包括用于人工肌肉的致动器，以及用于利用太阳能的光伏电池。在这些装置中使用离子液体作为电解液，大大提高了电感耦合等离子体的稳定性和循环性。我们的初步工作表明，离子液体溶剂在合成离子交换聚合物时会导致材料具有显著不同的形貌和改善的电学性质。离子液体将被用来制备具有增强的电气和机械性能的ICP，并将基于这些新材料开发光伏和致动器的原型装置。
