Studies on the Electrochemical Parameters of Potentiodynamic Electrocopolymerization of Aniline

Abstract

To know more understanding on the parameters effecting electrocopolymerization of aniline, a theoretical study of electrochemical behaviour had been performed through cyclic voltammetry at the platinum electrode through controlled potential electrocopolymerization (CPE) in 0.01 M LiClO4 solution at a scan rate of 50 mV s-1. It is observed that parameters in the presence of additive (perchloric acid) and selective solvent-electrolyte pair parameters affect the morphology, stability and solubility of the copolymer matrix. The morphological structure analysis exhibits nano-structured polydispersity characterized by a scanning electron microscope.
