N. Sakmeche et al., ANIONIC MICELLES - A NEW AQUEOUS-MEDIUM FOR ELECTROPOLYMERIZATION OF POLY(3,4-ETHYLENEDIOXYTHIOPHENE) FILMS ON PT ELECTRODES, Chemical communications, (24), 1996, pp. 2723-2724
For the first time, an aqueous micellar medium (sodium dodecyl sulfate
, SDS) is used, at Pt electrodes, to electrosynthesize poly(3,4-ethyle
nedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) conducting films deposited at lower potentia
l than in acetonitrile and presenting a well organized structure.
