Experimental characterization of electrochemically polymerized polycarbazole film and study of its behavior with different metals contacts

Polycarbazole and Its Derivatives: Synthesis and Applications. A Review of the Last 10 Years

“…Srivastava et al [ 51 ] reported PCz electropolymerization and deposition on ITO-coated glass. A study of polycarbazole films prepared on the different metal contacts, such as Aluminium, Copper, and Tungsten, was also carried out for the fabrication of Schottky diodes.…”

“…Similarly, they present good electro-and photoactive properties because of their high hole transporting mobility and strong absorption in the UV spectral region [45]. These characteristics have extended the use of this kind of polymer in several applications, such as transistors [46,47], smart windows [48], light emitting diode [49][50][51][52], (bio)sensor [53][54][55], and photovoltaic devices [56,57]. The field of the conductive polymers has exponentially increased since 1985.…”

Electropolymerization on ITO-Coated Glass Slides of a Series of π-Extended BODIPY Dyes with Redox-Active Meso-Substituents

“…The electrochemical oxidation of carbazoles has been extensively studied due to their ability to form conductive films on platinum, glassy carbon, and ITO surfaces [29][30][31][32]. A vast array of applications for electrochemically generated conductive polycarbazole films has been noted [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. While there exist a number of mechanisms for the electrochemical formation of polycarbazoles, it is generally agreed that an initial one-electron oxidation generates a radical with the 3,6-positions of the carbazole, representing the most reactive positions, inset-red Scheme 4, resulting in a chain reaction culminating in the formation of polycarbazole films [38].…”

Employing suggested polycarbazole film structures, Scheme 4 illustrates a proposed polycarbazole-BDP film formed via the oxidation of BDP1 with a similar structure resulting from the oxidative electropolymerization of BDP2 and BDP3.…”
