color reversibly when they are kept in a different electronic state
CategoriesSoluble in both neutral state and electron transfer. (ex:
ethyl viologen)Soluble in neutral state and form solid in electrode
surface. (ex: heptyl viologen)Form solid in both neutral state and
after the electron transfer. (ex: metal oxide films and conducting
polymers)HOW IT WORKS
