Effect of electrolytes on the electropolymerization and optoelectronic properties of poly(3-methylselenophene)

Abstract

The effects of electrolytes on the electropolymerization of 3-methylselenophene and on the properties and electrochromic performances of poly(3-methylselenophene) films were studied. The electrolyte has a significant effect on the polymer material.

Atomistic Insights into the Layered Microstructure and Time-Dependent Stability of [BMIM][PF6] Confined within the Meso-Slit of Carbon

“…The graphene surface dimension was set to 5.65 × 5.53 nm to allow the meso-slit to accommodate enough ILs for obtaining reliable statistical results (see Figure S1, Supporting Information). We investigated [BMIM]­[PF 6 ], a typical imidazolium-based IL electrolyte in electrochemical research, because it presents excellent electrochemical performance. − …”

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene): effect of solvent and electrolyte on electrodeposition, optoelectronic and electrochromic properties

“…37 Zhao and coworkers reported the electropolymerization of 3methylselenophene in three different electrolytic medium and studied the redox, morphology and optoelectronic properties of poly(3-methylselenophene). 38 Compared to numerous study on the effect of electropolymerization conditions on the properties of PEDOT, 39 PEDOS has not been investigated in sufficient details considering its advantages over PEDOT. Indeed, a systematic and detailed study on the effect of solvent and supporting electrolyte on the electrochemical and optical properties of PEDOS is still limited to only one report till date.…”

Electropolymerization of thienyl tethered comonomers and application towards the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene

“…Researchers have used this strategy to prepare thiophene polymers, copolymers and doped polymers to ne-tune their electronic properties. 10 In this context, synthesis of thienyl based hybrid comonomers which are prone to undergo oxidative polymerization becomes essential as it would offer new electrochromic material with varying degree of physicochemical characteristics. 11 As part of our research interest on small and macromolecular functional organic materials, 12 we herein disclose the synthesis of thienyl end-capped hybrid monomers and their electropolymerization.…”
