ELECTROCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYDITHIENOTHIOPHENE

Poly(3,4-b:3',4'-d:dithienothiophene) (PDTT) is a new electronically c onductive polymeric material with a narrow energy gap. The systematic study of the electrochemical polymerization of 3,4-b:3',4'-d:dithienot hiophene (DTT) was made by means of cyclic voltammetry and chronoamper ometry. The polymer layer was examined by means of cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical and environmental stab ility of the layer was tested for layers prepared either by potentiost atic deposition or potential scanning. The d.c. conductivity of the PD TT was measured.
