Abstract
Conductive polymer films have been the focus of much research towards sustainable energy sources and sensor technology. In this work, we present advancements in the processing and characterization of conductive polymers for improved energy storage and sensing applications. Our work introduces innovative techniques in polymer processing, enhancing electrochemical properties and operational stability through a novel post-deposition crosslinking method and ion-exchange reactions. In parallel, we have developed a new computational methodology for atomic scale structural analysis based on X-ray diffraction patterns and incorporate density functional theory calculations to explain transport behavior in polymer films. This research represents a holistic approach to understanding electrochemically-induced changes in conductive polymer films through advanced analytical techniques and mathematical modeling and is foundational to their incorporation as renewable energy sources and versatile sensor devices.
