Electrical Properties of Conducting Polymer, Poly-Thiophene, Prepared by Electrochemical Polymerization

Abstract

Poly-thiophene perchlorate is prepared electrochemically in an electrolyte of 0.5 M AgClO 4 and 0.2 M thiophene in acetonitrile. Dark greenish film with the complex of ca . [C 4 H 2 S(ClO 4 ) 0.26 ] x is obtained. The electrical conductivity along the film surface is about 0.6 Ω -1 cm -1 .
