Abstract
As it follows from the previous chapter, electrochemistry is the basic tool to control both the synthesis and especially the redox switching between the states: the isolator/conductor behavior can be tuned through the level of oxidation hence it regulates the number of the charge carriers. The electrochemical process results in color, mass, conductance, para/diamagnetic, volume and structural changes, as well as it provokes transport processes in the adjacent solution layer.
