Organic actuation. Electrical memory. Process partiallyexplained… • Reaction ‘Wet’ ‘Dry’ ‘Sorbitol’ • At positive electrode 2 reactions may occur: • PEDOT + PSS-→ PEDOT+(PSS-) + e- (1) • Charge neutrality requires movement of PSS- to + electrode. • Large volume increase at + electrode • Requires mobile PSS (‘large size’)… • PEDOT(PSS Na) → PEDOT+(PSS-) + Na+ + e- (2) • Charge neutrality requires movement of Na+ away from + electrode. • Smaller volume change, sign can be + or - • Requires mobile Na (‘small size’) Adapted from: Elisabeth Smela, Adv. Mater. 2003, 15, 481. (Review) D.S.H. Charrier
