EL-ENANY, G.M.; GHANEM, M.A. e EL-GHAFFAR, M.A. Abd. Electrochemical Deposition and Characterization of Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene), Poly(aniline) and their Copolymer onto Glassy Carbon Electrodes for Potential Use in Ascorbic Acid Oxidation. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2010, vol.28, n.5, pp.336-348. ISSN 0872-1904.
Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT), poly(aniline) (PANI) and their copolymer (PEDOT-PANI) were electrodeposited onto a glassy carbon electrode. The electrodeposition was performed using cyclic voltammetry from acidic solution containing appropriate monomer concentrations and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as a wetting agent. The resulting polymer films were characterised using cyclic voltammetry in acidic and neutral phosphate buffer solutions and IR spectroscopy. The specific capacitance of the PEDOT-PANI co-polymer reaches up to 260 F g−1 and had good stability during cycling in mineral acid solution. IR spectroscopy confirms the formation of PEDOT-PANI copolymer. The polymers showed an electrochemical activity towards ascorbic acid oxidation. The oxidation current was linearly dependant up to 20 mM ascorbic acid concentration and the PEDOT activity was much higher than that for PANI and PEDOT-PANI copolymer.
