The influence of the monomer and the ionic liquid on the electrochemical preparation of polythiophene

One‐Step Synthesis of Conducting Polymer–Noble Metal Nanoparticle Composites using an Ionic Liquid

“…0.3 V, and a broader reduction process, with a peak at ca. À0.25 V. The broad, or multiple peak, reduction process observed for all of the polymers synthesized here is similar to our previous observations for the polymers electrochemically polymerized in this ionic liquid, [39] and may reflect an involvement of the ionic liquid cation in redox process. UV-Vis analysis (Fig.…”

“…This is contrast to the behavior of the poly(terthiophene) films electrochemically synthesized in this ionic liquid, which show multiple oxidation and reduction peaks. [39] The poly(terthiophene)-gold composite was red in the reduced state and blue in the oxidized state and could be repeatedly cycled between the two states. The UV-Vis spectra of the reduced and oxidized forms of the polymer composite are shown in Figure 2c.…”

Synthesis of Poly (2,5-dimethoxyaniline) and Electrochromic Properties

“…The increase in potential scans also results in the more anodic oxidation peak and the more cathodic reduction peak. These observations can be explained by heterogeneous transfer kinetics with a decrease in conductivity, counter-ion mobility, and the conjugate length 4,45,46 . The morphology of PDMA film synthesized on ITO glass is a porous structure as shown in Figure 4 In the previous work, Suephatthima et al studied the effect of electrolytes namely oxalic acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid on the morphology of PDMA.…”

Efficient Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Made from High Catalytic Ability of Polypyrrole@Platinum Counter Electrode

“…It can be seen that a pair broad anodic and cathodic peaks exhibit corresponding to the oxidation-reduction reaction of PPy@Pt CE; and the peak current densities gradually and regularly grew with the number of scans increasing for the formation of PPy@Pt conductive and electroactive materials on the substrate [20]. Figure 1b shows the SEM image of PPy film, which shows spherical-like structure and disorderly coat on the FTO.…”
