Abstract:
The alpha-form thin films (120 nm) of lithium phthalocyanine (LiPc) exhibit a structural transformation to the x-form by electrochemical oxidation which introduces the counter anions into the thin films, and these anions are reversibly dedoped by electrochemical re-reduction, maintaining the x-form structure.
