Abstract
This present work deals with the formation of polyparaphenylene (PPP) elect rodes in which the polymer is associated with conductive carbons. Regular a nd reproducible coatings of PPP on different types of carbon electrodes wer e obtained by catalytic electrosynthesis (Fauvarque method) and were examin ed by electron microscopy. Electrochemical properties of PPP, coated on con ductive carbons, were studied in sulfolane-NBu4BF4 electrolyte. Coatings on carbon lead to a good cyclability and a high apparent current density las high as 2 mA/cm(2)).
