Poly(pyrrole-pyromellitimide) modified electrodes

Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry and Interfacial Electrochemistry, 1990

ABSTRACI Poly(pyrrole-pyromellitimide) films were prepared by the anodic oxidation of N,N'-bis[2-(lpyrrolyl)ethyl]pyromellitimide (BEP) in acetonitrile media. These films showed a stable redox behaviour in acetonitrile as well as in water media containing 0.1 M tetraalkylammonium salt or LiClO,, as the supporting electrolyte. Poly(BEP) adsorbed a layer of poly(N'4nitrobenzoyl-L-lysine) and this bilayer exhibited charging of both electroactive groups.

Electrochemical Formation and Evaluation of Poly-9,10-Phenanthrenequinone of Layer

2018

A 9,10-phenanthrenequinone (PQ) was electrochemically polymerized on a graphite rod electrode using potential cycling. The electrode modified by poly-9,10-phenanthrenequinone (poly-PQ) was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The poly-PQ shows variations in growth pattern depending on the number of potential cycles for the initiation of polymerization. Formed poly-PQ layer demonstrates good electric conductivity, great electrochemical capacitance and unique oxidation/reduction properties, which are suitable for broad technological applications, including applicability in biosensors, supercapacitors, and in some other electrochemical systems.

Synthesis of poly(3-methylthiophene) in the presence of 1-(2-Pyrrolyl)-2-(2-thienyl) ethylene by electropolymerization

Journal of the Iranian Chemical Society, 2008

In this study, the electropolymerization of 3-methylthiophene (3-MT) was preformed in the presence of a catalytic amount 1-(2-pyrrolyl)-2-(2-thienyl) ethylene (PTE) by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile as a solvent and lithium perchlorate as the electrolyte on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode. First, PTE was synthesized via the Wittig reaction. The addition of a catalytic amount of PTE during the electropolymerization of 3-MT changes the cyclic voltammograms such that the analysis of cyclic voltammograms of poly(3-MT) shows a considerable increase in the electroactivity and redoxability. Furthermore, the presence of PTE during the electropolymerization of 3-MT increases the polymerization rate. The CV measurement of the electron transfer ferro/ferricyanide redox system using different modified GC electrodes shows that the rate of charge transfer for poly(3-MT) in the presence of PTE is greater than that of poly(3-MT) alone. The conductivity of the obtained polymers was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 3.5% NaCl (w/v) solutions. With the application of Zview(II) software to the EIS, we estimate the parameters of the proposed equivalent circuit, based on a physical model for the electrochemical behavior of coatings on the GC electrode, to be 15739 ohm cm 2 for the charge transfer resistance (R ct) for poly(3-MT) alone and 9700 ohm cm 2 for poly(3-MT) in the presence of PTE. Thus, the film of poly(3-MT) formed in the presence of PTE is more conductive.

Preparation and spectroelectrochemical characterization of composite films of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) with 4-(pyrrole-1-yl) benzoic acid

Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, 2007

The possibility of incorporation of 4-(pyrrole-1yl) benzoic acid, PyBA, during electrodeposition of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT, is demonstrated here. The resulting novel composite material has been fabricated as moderately thin (ca 200-300 nm thick) PEDOT/PyBA film on electrode surface. As evidenced from scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), morphology of the composite film is dense and granular, and it is composed of larger granules in comparison to the PyBA-free PEDOT film. It is apparent from infrared reflectance absorption spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemical measurements that the PEDOT/ PyBA composite film cannot be viewed as simple mixtures of PEDOT and PyBA components. Some specific (chemical) interactions between PEDOT and PyBA can be expected. The conducting polymer serves as a robust, positively charged conductive polmer matrix for anionic (carboxylate-group derivatized) partially polymerized PyBA structures. Upon incorporation of PyBA, the overall stability of PEDOT film (resistance to dissolution during prolonged voltammetric potential cycling) has been improved. The fact, that the composite PEDOT/PyBA film is capable of preconcentrating (under open circuit conditions) both cations (Cu 2+ ) or anions Fe CN ð Þ 3À 6

Investigation and comparison of the electrochemical behavior of some organic and biological molecules at various conducting polymer electrodes

Talanta, 1997

Electrodes modified by the electrodepozition of conducting organic polymers such as poly(3-methylthiophene)(PMT), polypyrrole (PPY) and polyaniline (PAN) were used as chemical sensors for voltammetric analysis and flow injection detection of some organic and biological molecules. The electrochemical behaviors of catechol, ascorbic acid, hydroquinone, dopamine, epinephrine, acetaminophen and p-aminophenol were examined by differential pulse voltammetry. The electrochemical behavior of these molecules at different electrodes was compared and the effects on behavior of electrolyte type and its pH and the film thickness were systematically examined. The results showed that the proposed modified surface catalyzes the oxidation of these compounds. Electrocatalytic 'efficiency' decreases in order of poly-3-methylthiophene, polypyrrole and polyaniline. Voltammetric peak positions were affected by the nature of the electrolyte and its pH. Also, the effect of increasing film thickness...

Electrochemical and morphological characterization of poly(12-pyrrol-1'-yl dodecanoic acid)

Synthetic Metals, 2009

a b s t r a c t 12-Pyrrol-1 -yl dodecanoic acid was prepared and electrochemically polymerized on ITO electrodes by three different methods. The electrochemical and morphological properties of poly(12-pyrrol-1 -yl dodecanoic acid) films were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge curves and AFM, which characteristics varied as function of deposition method. Films deposited by potentiodynamic and galvanostatic methods showed capacitive properties and are promising for application in polymeric capacitors.

Electrochemical Analysis of Conducting Polymer Thin Films

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2010

Polyelectrolyte multilayers built via the layer-by-layer (LbL) method has been one of the most promising systems in the field of materials science. Layered structures can be constructed by the adsorption of various polyelectrolyte species onto the surface of a solid or liquid material by means of electrostatic interaction. The thickness of the adsorbed layers can be tuned precisely in the nanometer range. Stable, semiconducting thin films are interesting research subjects. We use a conducting polymer, poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV), in the preparation of a stable thin film via the LbL method. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have been used to characterize the ionic conductivity of the PPV multilayer films. The ionic conductivity of the films has been found to be dependent on the polymerization temperature. The film conductivity can be fitted to a modified Randle's circuit. The circuit equivalent calculations are performed to provide the diffusion coefficient values.
