Conductive Polypropylene Additive Manufacturing Feedstock: Application to Aqueous Electroanalysis and Unlocking Nonaqueous Electrochemistry and Electrosynthesis.

ABSTRACT: Additive manufacturing electrochemistry is an ever-expanding field; however, it is limited to aqueous environments due to the conductive filaments currently available. Herein, the production of a conductive poly(propylene) filament, which unlocks the door to organic electrochemistry and electrosynthesis, is reported. A filament with 40 wt % carbon black possessed enhanced thermal stability, excellent low-temperature flexibility, and high conductivity. The filament produced highly reproducible additive manufactured electrodes that were electrochemically characterized, showing a k⁰ of 2.00 ± 0.04 × 10^-3 cm s^-1. This material was then applied to three separate electrochemical applications. First, the electroanalytical sensing of colchicine within enviro
