Simultaneously performed in situ conductance and spectro-electrochemical measurements—completed by EQCN—proved that fast redox switching can only be expected in cation exchanger type polymers, where the conductance develops promptly with the formation of mono-cationic/polaronic charge carriers—due assumingly to the presence of the charge compensating anions in favorable distribution.
