Abstract
Polymer electrochemical cells with ion blocking electrodes were reported to emit light under applied voltage. This work analyzes the current-voltage relations, internal electric fields, and point defect distribution in the polymer. The polymer is regarded as a mixed-ionic-electronic conductor. Two relevant defect models are investigated. A good fit is obtained between experimental data and theory which also takes into consideration electrode overpotentials.Keywords
