Abstract

Electropolymerisation procedures which allow the development of mechanically stable, conductive, pinhole-free membranes based on polypyrrole/polyvinylsulphonate or polypyrrole/Nafion have been developed. Using a new electromembrane cell design and a new electrochemical controller, the ability to electrochemically control the transport of Na+ or K+ across these membranes has been demonstrated.
