Resumen:
We have shown that a molecular theory that explicitly accounts for
all the molecular species, the different interactions and the chemical
equilibrium is capable of quantitatively predicting the electrochemical
behavior of redox-polymer modified electrodes. The theory has
predictive power and it is not based on fitting experimental
observations. Furthermore, the approach provides with a link between
the macroscopic observed behavior and the detailed structure of the
polymer layer and therefore it enables the fundamental understanding of
the driving force for the observed behavior, while at the same time it can
be used as a design tool.
