| abstract |
A polymer that provides for effective proton/cation transfer within, through, across the polymer. The polymer may be used in an electrochemical sensor and may include a redox active species and a facilitator of proton transfer that may provide for the “shuttling”/transfer of a proton through the polymer. As such, the polymer may provide for protons to be transferred through the polymer from or to a conducting substrate. The polymer may also provide for separation of components, fluids, materials in an electrochemical system while still allowing for a transfer, shuttling of protons or cations between the components, fluids or material. The proton, cation transfer polymer may be used in a battery, an electrochemical sensor or a fuel cell. |
