Abstract
This work characterises the electropolymerisation of 3-methoxythiophene and presents an electrochemical study of poly(3-methoxythiophene) by cyclic voltammetry using different electrolytes in solvent mixture of water-acetonitrile (3:1, v/v) at 25°C. Simultaneous measurements of the mirage effect and the quartz microbalance were also performed. This study evaluated the influence of cations on the electrochemical properties of monomers and polymers and allowed us to observe an anomalous behaviour of the synthesised polymer in the presence of potassium ions (K+) when compared with other cations. The reversibility of the polymers was also evaluated with respect to the various electrolytes and was observed the influence of the polymer film thickness (deposited mass) on its electrochemical properties.
