Is it possible for a polymer to have optical band gap of 1.3 V and electrochemical band gap of 1.7 V?

Based on the reviews I read, most polymers got close value for optical and electrochemical band gap. I tried to calculate these band gap from UV-vis spectra and cyclic voltammetry. But the band...

What is the purpose of adding HBr in bromination? Hbr/Br2 system.

Is the HBr was added to prevent the formation of HBr as by-product from Br2 during the reaction (minimize the wastage of Br2)? And to move the reaction forwards faster?
