dc.description.abstract | :In this paper we report on the electrosynthesis of polythiophene from aqueous media with sulphuric
acid as the supporting electrolyte. The redox features of polythiophene on a bare carbon graphite working
electrode and on a clay montmorillonite host matrix is also reported. Co-polymerisation of polythiophene and
polyaniline from an electrolyte media containing both aniline and thiophene monomers reveal that, the redox
centres of the two polymers are independent, hence suggesting the formation of a bilayer, even though no
charge rectification is observed.The role of sodium thiosulphate as a novel electrocatalyst which has led to a
tremendous improvement in the polythiophene faradaic /redox process is also reported. | en_US |
