Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene): effect of solvent and electrolyte on electrodeposition, optoelectronic and electrochromic properties.

ABSTRACT: In this article, we report the effect of electropolymerization conditions such as solvent and supporting electrolyte on the redox, optoelectronic and electrochromic properties of PEDOS. Monomer EDOS was synthesized by new and simple route and its electropolymerization was investigated by employing six different combinations of solvent-electrolyte namely TBAClO₄/MeCN, TBAPF₆/MeCN, TBABF₄/MeCN, TBAClO₄/PC, TBAPF₆/PC and TBABF₄/PC. Further, the electrochemical, spectroelectrochemistry, morphology and electrochromic properties of resultant PEDOS films were systematically studied. A pronounced effect of both solvent and supporting electrolyte on the electropolymerization, redox, optoelectronic and electrochromic properties on PED
