Abstract

Electrochemical behavior of poly-o-phenylenediamine (PoPhD) films in lithium perchlorate and perchloric acid solutions of different pH and constant ionic strength is studied using cyclic voltammetry, low-amplitude chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, and faradaic-impedance spectroscopy. The experimental results point to the diffusion–migration kinetics of charge transfer processes in redox-active PoPhD films and show that two such processes occur during oxidation–reduction of PoPhD. The processes are separated most fully at low concentrations of hydronium ions. Effect of the electrode potential and electrolyte composition on these processes is examined. Different methods yield similar results and permit their more reliable interpretation.
