Abstract

The bombardment induced ion transport (BIIT) technique has been employed for studying the ionic conductivity of thin poly(p-xylylene) (PPX) films. The experiment is based on bombarding a PPX film with a c.w. potassium ion beam. The transport of ions through the film – which follows the laws of electrodiffusion – is detected as a neutralization current on the backside electrode on which the film has been deposited. This backside current scales quadratically with the acceleration potential of the ion beam and inversely cubically with the thickness of the film. This confirms theoretical predictions made in part I of this mini-series (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2011, 13, 20112–20122). This characteristic is markedly different from the Ohm-like current–voltage properties of a solid electrolyte, e.g. an ion conducting glass. The diffusion coefficient for K+ in PPX is determined to be 8.528 × 10−16 cm2 s−1 at 333 K. From the temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient we conclude that a hopping mechanism with an activation energy of 2.74 eV ± 0.18 eV is operative.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
