The density-of-states distribution in conducting polymers reflects the energy disorder caused by electrostatic and steric interactions resulting from the different environment in which each molecule is placed. In case of p-doping (oxidation), the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) manifold spreads in energy following a distribution as a result of long-range electrostatic (dipolar) interactions with the surrounding disordered host. In this paper the repercussion of the dipolar disorder on electrochemical signals of standard polypyrrole films is explored. The analysis is based on the chemical capacitance variation with the applied potential in experiments performed in quasi-equilibrium conditions. In addition to the Gaussian shape of cyclic voltammograms at low-doping levels, the model is able to qualitatively account for the current plateau usually observed at high oxidation potentials. This approach allows to estimating the dipolar moment associated to the polymer/dopant complex. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. [-]
