A. Efremova et al., ELECTROCHEMICAL FORMATION AND DEPOSITION OF POLYANILINE ON ELECTRODE SURFACE - IN-SITU RAMAN SPECTROSCOPICAL STUDY, Electrochimica acta, 39(6), 1994, pp. 839-845
The potentials of electropolymerization of aniline on a Pt anode surfa
ce in aqueous 0.5 mol dm-3 H2SO4 + 0.1 mol dm-3 C6H5NH2 solution have
been investigated. By means of simultaneous cyclic voltammetry and in
situ Raman spectroscopical measurements the constitutent units and str
ucture were proposed for the polymer chain in the electrodeposited fil
m. Possible transitions between constituent units and structural chang
e during exposure of the deposited polymer film to air have been discu
ssed on the basis of Raman spectra.
