In this paper, the combination of electrochemistry in the absence of liquid electrolyte with internal reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy was accomplished using a simple two-electrode sandwich-type cell in which a crystalline germanium served both as a working electrode and an infrared transparent element.
Abstract
Interfacial oxidation and reduction of Prussian Blue (PB), KFeIII[FeII(CN)6]·nH2O (n ≈ 10), powder were probed in situ with Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection (FT-IR/ATR) spectroscopy. The combination of electrochemistry in the absence of liquid electrolyte with internal reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy was accomplished using a simple two-electrode sandwich-type cell in which a crystalline germanium served both as a working electrode and an infrared transparent element. Application of sufficiently large potential differences to sandwich electrodes led to oxidation and reduction of PB at opposing interfaces. The spectra, which were monitored by difference, clearly show changes in the cyanide stretching frequency range upon oxidation and reduction.

Charge transport in electroactive polymers consisting of fixed molecular Redox sites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss some current issues related to the polymeric electron self-exchange dynamics, including separation of electron from ion mobility, theory that accounts for currents limited by concentration polarized and by electrical potential gradients, and the consequences of site dilution as found in differing degrees of mixed valency and when non-electroactive sites are added.
