A study of the redox reaction mechanisms of polyaniline using a quartz crystal microbalance

Formation of electroactive film on electrode surfaces by electro-oxidation of naphtho[1,8-cd][1,2]dithiole

“…5. The shape of CV is resemble to a well-known one for the polyaniline film in an AN solution [38]. The QCN response for the poly(DTN) film in Fig.…”

Electrochemical preparation of conductive poly(N-alkylaniline)s with long N-alkyl chains using appropriate dopant anions and organic solvents

“…The effect of the dopant anions on the conductivity is probably due to the lyophilicity of the dopant anions. It is known that the dopant anions of polyaniline are not solvated [19,20]. For poly(N-methylaniline), the anions have to release their hydration water molecules during the electropolymerization [21].…”

Electrochemical behavior of a new electroactive polyimide derived from aniline trimer

“…Such an anion-insertion process has been confirmed for polyaniline in acetonitrile using the QCM technique. 27 It was proposed previously that anion insertion in the redox process of polyaniline mainly depends on its size 15 and nucleophilic character. 19 For an anion of smaller size and stronger nucleophilic character, 28,29 the easier insertion and, hence, the larger peak currents are expected.…”
