Preparation of Conducting Polymer/Metal Nanocomposites

This study was primarily focused on the preparation and characterization of conducting polymer/metal nanocomposites. Poly(3,4-ethylenedithiathiophene) was prepared onto ITO electrodes as thin film shapes by electrochemical polymerization and reduced with constant potential. When the polymer films were doped with K2PtCl6 solution, they were easily get oxidized due to the concurrent reduction of Pt(IV) to Pt(0). This procedure ended up with the...
