Polyelectrolyte multilayers were constructed from a polyviologen and p
oly(styrene sulfonate) using an alternating polyion solution depositio
n technique. In situ absorption spectroscopy showed multilayers to be
strongly electrochromic. Oxygen reduction at multilayer-coated conduct
ing glass electrodes was also shown to be facilitated.
