Title: Microtube-Membrane Methodology for Electrochemical Synthesis and Study of Electroactive and Ionically Conductive Materials, and the Conductivity of MnO2

Abstract

A membrane-based methodology for electrochemical synthesis and study of electroactive and ionically conductive materials is described. The Li+-intercalation material MnO2 was used to demonstrate this methodology. The membrane was a polymeric support containing monodisperse gold microtubes (diameter 600 nm) that span the thickness of the membrane. Bipolar electrochemical synthesis of MnO2, from Mn2+ solutions, was conducted across this membrane, resulting in deposition of monodisperse, hemispherical MnO2 particles at the open ends of the tubes on one face of the membrane. The resulting microtube/MnO2 composite membrane makes a convenient construct for investigating the transport properties of the MnO2 particles. This was accomplished by mounting the membrane in a U-tube cell, placing electrolyte solutions on either side, and driving an ionic current through the membrane. The ionic conductivity of MnO2 was measured in this way, and found to be 40±10 μS cm-1 when LiCl or LiClO4 solutions were used as the electrolyte. Finally, the mechanism of ionic conductivity through these MnO2 particles is discussed.
