Abstract

Poly- o-phenylenediamine (PoPD) thin films were synthesized electrochemically on platinum electrodes in the room temperature ionic liquid (IL) N-butyl- N-methylpyrrolidinium (nonafluorobutanesulfonyl)-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PYR 14IM 14). The polymer films were further characterized by electrochemical analysis and the results are compared with those obtained in conventional H 2SO 4 aqueous solution. The polymer films obtained in the IL-based electrolyte showed a good adherence on Pt and appeared attractive for the realization of biosensors since they showed a good selectivity with respect to the most common interferent compounds. PoPD films deposited from IL-based electrolytes were investigated in solutions containing compounds as ascorbate and acetaminophen, which are common interferents in electrochemical biosensor analysis, and proved satisfying for application in biosensors.
