Cathode Differences – MnO2 vs Polymer
• PEDT is a conductive organic polymer
Polymerization reaction with monomer
and oxidant at lower temperature;
‘soft thin film’ – NON-STRESS INTERFACE
• MnO2 is Manganese Dioxide
Brittle semiconductor material obtained by
thermal decomposition at ~260ºC of
manganese nitrate – STRESSED INTERFACE
