Milczarek and Inganäs describe how a class of organic compounds known as quinones allows the lignin derivatives to shed a proton and store this electric charge in its place. The polypyrrole is able to hold on to the loose proton until the charge is released and the proton returns to the quinone group of the lignin derivative.
