Electrically conducting and semiconducting polymers represent a special and still very attractive class of functional chromophores, especially due to their unique optical and electronic properties and their broad device application potential. They are potentially suitable as materials for several applications of high future relevance, for example flexible photovoltaic modules, components of displays/screens and batteries, electrochromic windows, or photocatalysts. Therefore, their synthesis and structure elucidation are still intensely investigated. This article will demonstrate the very fruitful interplay of current electropolymerization research and its exploitation for science education issues. Experiments involving the synthesis of conducting polymers and their assembly into functional devices can be used to teach basic chemical and physical principles as well as to motivate students for an innovative and interdisciplinary field of chemistry.
导电聚合物和半导体聚合物是一类特殊且仍极具吸引力的功能性发色团，特别是由于其独特的光学和电子特性以及广泛的器件应用潜力。它们有可能适用于未来具有高度相关性的多种应用，例如柔性光伏模块、显示器/屏幕和电池的组件、电致变色窗或光催化剂。因此，它们的合成和结构解析仍在深入研究。本文将展示当前电聚合研究及其在科学教育问题中的应用之间非常富有成效的相互作用。涉及导电聚合物合成及其组装成功能器件的实验可用于教授基本的化学和物理原理，以及激发学生对化学这一创新和跨学科领域的兴趣。
