My project is studying the kinetics of oxidation in organic mixed ionic electronic conductors (OMIECs), a class of polymers with the unique ability to conduct ions and electrons simultaneously. This dual conductivity makes OMIECs desirable for a range of applications including neuromorphic computing, bioelectronics, sensor technology, and battery storage. Understanding the kinetics and the underlying conditions that control them in these materials will be vital for rationally designing future materials.
