Jf. Bergamini et al., AN ELECTROCHEMICAL PUMP - ACTIVE DIFFUSIO N THROUGH A POLYPYRROLE MEMBRANE, Journal de chimie physique et de physico-chimie biologique, 95(6), 1998, pp. 1498-1501
A polypyrrole membrane has been used as an electrochemical pump. Molec
ules can be made to diffuse through the membrane only by applying oxid
oreduction cycles. The system is very sensitive to the nature of the d
ifferent species, only the initial doping anion crossing the membrane
easily.
