Electrosynthesis of polythiophene and poly(3-methylthiophene) films by oxidation of thiophene and 3-methylthiophene on an iron surface
Abstract
Electropolymerisation of thiophene and 3-methylthiophene was performed on iron, using a galvanostatic method; the structure of the films, analysed by IR and XPS spectroscopy, appeared to be similar to that of polythiophene and poly(3-methylthiophene) films obtained on a Pt electrode.
