Abstract:
1. An electrochemical device comprising: a π-conjugated metal complex immobilized substrate in which π-conjugated metal complex molecules are immobilized on a conductive substrate directly or via a π-conjugated molecular structure; and an aqueous electrolyte comprising cations with an ion radius that is not smaller than a radius of a sphere inscribed in a clearance between the π-conjugated metal complex molecules, wherein the device utilizes a redox reaction of the π-conjugated metal complex molecules in the aqueous electrolyte, and wherein the radius of the sphere inscribed in the clearance formed between the π-conjugated metal complex molecules is represented by Equation (1): where A is the radius of the sphere inscribed in the clearance formed between the π-conjugated metal complex molecules, G is an adsorption density (mol cm
