Abstract

The electrochemical polymerization of 3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and the redox behavior of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) was studied using electrochemical techniques and in situ internal reflection FTIR spectroscopy. A comparison of the IR spectra of PEDOT films taken during charging and discharging in different electrolytes was made.
