Electrochemical copolymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and dithienothiophene: influence of feed ratio on electrical, optical and electrochromic properties.

ABSTRACT: Designing a copolymer is an efficient and alternative method to generate new chemical and physical properties compared to parent homopolymers without complex synthesis and structural modification. We herein report the electrochemical deposition of copolymer using two monomers 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene (DTT). Three different copolymers P[EDOT-co-DTT] were synthesized by using different feed ratios of monomers (EDOT and DTT molar ratios in solution are 2 : 1, 1 : 1 and 1 : 2) in acetonitrile containing 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAClO₄) as a supporting electrolyte. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy were employed to characterize the obtained cop
