Abstract

Polythiophene (PTh) was prepared by electrochemical polymerization of thiophene in acetonitrile solution with boron trifluoride-diethyl ether (BFEE) as supporting electrolyte. The electropolymerization processes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The free-standing PTh film was characterized by FT-IR, XPS spectroscopy and SEM respectively. The effects of BFEE concentration on the polymerization processes of thiophene and on the properties of the as-prepared PTh films were discussed.
