Dynamic polymeric electrodes, dynamic computer modeling and dynamic electrochemical sensing
Three techniques, namely cyclic voltammetry, cyclic resistometry, and cyclic gramometry (EQCM) have been used simultaneously to investigate the nature of the anion/cation inclusion/exclusion process occurring at a polypyrrole chloride modified electrode. This online/real time study confirms that the redox reaction is a dynamic process that results in time dependent signals when a polymeric sensor is utilized. Although the use of cyclic voltammetry does not show distinct cation/anion responses clearly the other two techniques used enable distinct cation and anion responses to be observed. The collected data were saved into several files and introduced to a powerful computer as test and training files. Later the output prediction process was carried out.
